Laura Dansky

I am a psychologist in private practice in San Francisco who works with late adolescents and adults. I treat individuals with varying concerns from a wide variety of backgrounds. Most commonly my patients seek help for painful feelings of anxiety and depression. These emotions get in the way of their comfortably carrying on with their lives, especially during times of stress. While my theoretical perspective is psychodynamic, my way of conducting therapy depends on the needs and wishes of my particular patients. Some individuals are interested in meeting for a few visits to actively focus on something of immediate distress. Others are interested in meeting for extended periods to address troubling thoughts and feelings that have accompanied them a longer while. I make every effort to offer my initial thoughts and recommendations during a first visit to make sure that my approach feels like a good fit.
