Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! My name is Aparna Bell and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor based in San Francisco, California. I have 12 years of experience helping adult individuals overcome substance abuse issues, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I offer clients a safe and nonjudgmental space and welcome people from all cultures and backgrounds.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is person-centered. I am supportive and empathic, and I truly enjoy helping people reach their goals and find happiness in their lives.

What you can expect from our first session

When working with me in sessions you can expect a warm and open approach. We will work collaboratively to identify goals and find methods and steps to reach the goals you want for yourself. I genuinely care and want my clients to feel supported and heard. Thank you.
