Hello! I am Registered Yoga Teacher, Clinical Supervisor & Consultant, as well as a Certified Focusing-Oriented Expressive Arts Practitioner.
I have almost a decade of experience working with children, adults, couples, and families in a therapeutic capacity. I specialize in trauma and family work. I am an integrative psychotherapist – integrating art therapy, play therapy, sand tray, mindfulness, astrology, spirituality, and more into therapy.
I've been a therapist for over 7 years. My Bachelor's in Psychology and Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy gave me a foundation working with people across the lifespan — children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I'm trained in evidence-based practices, but I always keep in mind that everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another.
I offer a compassionate, welcoming space for children to work through challenges and build confidence. If your child is having a hard time with emotions, behavior, or school, you’re not alone, I’m here to help! With five years as a school-based therapist, I value working closely with families and schools to support the whole child, so they feel supported in all areas of their life.
My name is Joseph Burton, LCSW. I am a trauma-informed and culturally responsive therapist who specializes in supporting individuals living with blindness, low vision, and other disabilities. I understand that adjusting to changes in vision, identity, and independence can bring up complex emotions—grief, anxiety, frustration, or feeling misunderstood or isolated. You deserve a space where your lived experience is honored, and where healing can happen at your pace.
I believe therapy is a journey, one in which the client is the navigating driver. As a Licensed marriage and family therapist, I take the passenger seat and support my clients in the direction they chose to go with in their therapeutic journey. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients, drawing on empathy, respect, and transparency to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in San Francisco, CA
Finding ADHD therapists in San Francisco starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, procrastination, focus, organization, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. A psychiatrist for ADHD can support medication management, while a psychologist may offer ADHD evaluation or testing. Some people work with a therapist, a prescriber, or both. If you’re searching for an ADHD therapist for adults, pediatric ADHD support, or a therapist for ADHD in women, look for those details in each therapist’s listed specialties and bio.
San Francisco has many therapists across neighborhoods like the Mission, SoMa, the Richmond, and Pacific Heights, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Consider whether an in-person office works with your commute, transit route, or schedule, or whether virtual appointments give you more flexibility. Since anxiety and depression can also appear alongside ADHD, it helps to choose a therapist with experience in ADHD and related concerns. Before booking, review each bio for approach, appointment availability, session style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in San Francisco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, choose the format that fits your schedule, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
