My name is Claire Pinkston MS/MSC. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADCII). I’ve been in the counseling field for almost 20 years. I believe that we all face challenges engaging fully in life, owning our choices, connecting with other people, and making our lives meaningful. How we think about ourselves, others, and the future has a tremendous impact on how we feel and what we do. My goal is to help you understand the factors influencing your thinking, feelings, and choices, and make changes that will improve your life. I especially like working with people who are motivated to dig in and do the work, because change requires change.
I’m Maria, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over twelve years of experience working with families, children, and adults. My work has focused on breaking generational cycles of trauma and navigating challenging life transitions. In my work I have supported individuals and families through growing up, raising their children, and bringing healing and harmony into the home. I am deeply passionate about helping others on their journeys toward personal growth and a better quality of life and consider it a gift to be an agent of change.
In addition to my clinical work, I am also a working mother of a college student and clinically supervise and train other clinicians. This experience gives me a unique perspective and understanding on navigating life transitions and balancing multiple roles.
My approach is warm, affirmative, and solution-oriented – with some humor mixed in. While it can feel intimidating to take that first step, if you are ready, I can guide you in finding areas of strength while also challenging areas for growth in a compassionate way. Together we can work toward healing in a safe environment and create positive change to improve your quality of life.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in San Francisco starts with getting clear on what you need. Consider whether you're looking for help with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, or whether you want broader support during a life transition. Therapists bring different specialties and approaches, so reviewing a provider's bio and areas of focus can help you identify someone whose experience aligns with your goals.
San Francisco has a large and diverse mental health provider community, but navigating it can be time-consuming. Factors like location, session format (in-person or virtual), scheduling availability, and therapeutic approach all matter. Reading about a provider's style and credentials before booking can give you confidence that you're making the right choice.
Therapy in San Francisco can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most direct ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many providers on the platform offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can find care that fits your budget and your schedule.
