Kelsey Laird, PhD

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety or depression? Are you feeling stuck or frustrated with progress toward your life goals? I utilize a solution-focused approach to help you learn practical skills for improving emotional and physical well-being. As an a client-centered therapist, I work collaboratively with you to create a plan for establishing new habits and obtaining long-lasting change. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and behavioral scientist in San Francisco, CA. With nearly 2 decades of research experience in psychology and neuroscience, I am well-qualified to provide guidance on what techniques have been most helpful for individuals struggling with issues similar to yours. I use evidence-based techniques including mindfulness-based therapies, cognitive behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. My approach is both compassionate and direct. I aim to cultivate an atmosphere of caring curiosity with the goal of increasing self-awareness, establishing more effective coping strategies, and enhancing self-compassion.
