When old ways of coping stop working

People often come to therapy when they look functional on the outside — working, achieving, caring for others — while privately feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck.

Patrick Neer is a licensed Clinical Psychologist in San Francisco with decades of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and groups. 

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming — you want someone who feels like a good fit, but it’s not always clear where to begin. You might be wondering what to look for, what truly matters, or how much you can learn from a website.

My hope I that as you explore here, you’ll get a sense of who I am, how I work, and whether this feels like a space where you can begin to feel supported, understood, and genuinely heard.

I provide psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy for anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, self-criticism, and deeper patterns that can keep people feeling stuck.
