The Bay Area rewards people who can keep up: fast-moving jobs, high expectations, and very little room to slow down. If you’re the one who keeps everything running, you may be quietly burned out, stuck in the same relationship patterns, or still recovering from someone who made you doubt your own reality.
I’m Andrew Davis, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (California #126415). I offer online therapy across San Francisco, Oakland and the East Bay, the Peninsula, and the South Bay, with a focus on narcissistic abuse recovery, relational trauma, codependency, and burnout.
Who I work with in the Bay Area
My clients are often high-functioning adults who look fine on paper and feel anything but. Here, that often looks like:
- Tech, startup, and finance professionals who are excellent at work and exhausted everywhere else
- People-pleasers and overfunctioners who say yes to everyone and struggle to find room for their own needs
- Survivors of narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships who want to rebuild self-trust
- Analytical, self-aware people who can explain their patterns in detail and still feel stuck in them
- LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples who want genuinely affirming care, including poly/ENM and kink-friendly therapy
How I work
My style is direct, warm, and practical. If you’re used to thinking your way through problems, we’ll also work with what’s happening in your body and your relationships, using attachment-focused and IFS-informed ideas, nervous-system skills, and CBT and DBT tools you can apply right away.
I bring my own lived experience to this work, too. I’m committed to my own ongoing healing and growth, and I know how frustrating it is when insight alone doesn’t create change.

Online therapy that fits a Bay Area week
Sessions are by secure video, so you can meet from home or a private room at work without crossing a bridge to get there. Weekday, evening, and weekend times are available.
Fees
Individual therapy is $225 per 50-minute session, and couples therapy is $250. My practice is private pay, so your insurance company doesn’t decide the course of your treatment. If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network benefits, I provide a superbill after each session for possible reimbursement.
Bay Area therapy FAQ
Do you see clients in person in San Francisco?
No. My practice is online only. I’m licensed in California, so I can work with you anywhere in the state, as long as you’re physically located in California, or another state where I’m licensed, during each session.
I’ve done a lot of therapy already. Is this different?
Often, yes. Many of my clients already understand their patterns. We focus on where those patterns live, in your nervous system and your relationships, so change shows up in daily life, not just in session.
Will my insurance cover this?
I don’t bill insurance directly. If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network benefits, I provide a superbill after each session, and many plans reimburse part of the fee.
