Erica Mainshine, MFT, psychotherapist for individuals, couples, and adolescents in San Francisco. I've created this site to introduce my practice and to help you decide if I might be the right therapist for you.

• Anxiety, worry, and panic
• Depression and loneliness
• Grief and loss
• Self esteem, self confidence
• Anger and interpersonal conflict
• Healing from abuse and trauma
• Addiction, addictive patterns
• Indecisiveness, uncertainty
• Creating/finding meaningful work
• Relationship issues
• Difficulty staying focused
• Adoption issues, creating family
• Unproductive patterns and behaviors
Couples Therapy:
I have experience working with a wide range of couples including LGBT couples and cross-cultural couples. Some issues that I can help with are:
• Improving communication, especially around sensitive topics
• Navigating intimacy, closeness, and sexuality
• Family issues/parenting
• Commitment and infidelity
• Entrenched patterns
• Anger and conflict
• Life transitions
Working through issues together with the support of a trusted couples therapist can bring about powerful change and healing, and often brings a renewed level of commitment, passion, and harmony into a relationship.

Childhood and adolescence are full of challenges, growth, and major
transitions. Children and adolescents can often benefit from having a
trusted adult aside from their parents to safely express themselves to,
and who can help them with transitions and troubles.
Some issues that therapy might help with are:
• Problems at school
• Changes in family constellation
• Anxiety and worry
