Compassion, Affordable and Accessible Teletherapy for Residents of the Bay Area and California
Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center provides compassionate, affordable, accessible therapy to children, teenagers and adults of all ages. Typically, offered in more than 60 satellite offices throughout the Bay Area, with the recent developments of the Coronavirus, we are now offering teletherapy (therapy by phone and video) to residents of both the Bay Area and California as our main focus.
In addition to individuals, teletherapy can be adapted to meet the needs of couples and families, and can provide a safe, supportive alternative to in-person meetings. Our appointments can be flexibly tailored to meet your financial and logistical needs, especially if you are experiencing economic hardships, such as a a loss of income or income security, or are ill or care-giving for someone who is sick.
Our clinicians are dedicated to providing compassionate, accessible, affordable care. Eclectically trained, and practicing therapy with a holistic philosophy or orientation, they would be honored to support you in this difficult time. Whatever your needs or circumstances, we promise to provide you with the quality therapy, sensitive and responsive to your particular needs.
