Misha Gutkin, PhD
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the San Francisco Bay Area with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I have been working with adults, children, teenagers, and families since 2001. Choosing a psychotherapist could be a very overwhelming process. Every therapist is different and uses different techniques to promote change.

In my private practice, I use a flexible approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic approach and Psychoanalysis, as well as Family Therapy techniques. Every person is an individual and there is no one-size-fits-all approach in therapy.
Services
I use a flexible approach that may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy with my clients to help them become more aware of their triggered thoughts, feelings and behaviors - in other words, the things that are causing them problems. I will suggest homework assignments or recommended readings which people can pursue between sessions to enhance the counseling process.
If I, as a therapist, find that I am not the best fit to meet your specific needs, I am always happy to offer referrals. Psychologist (PhD and PsyD) - a doctor trained in psychotherapy, assessment, and psychological testing. Psychiatrist (MD) - a medical doctor trained primarily in prescribing psychotropic medications to help you with your moods and feelings.

Online therapy, psychotherapy done over the internet using videoconferencing technology, is a growing and developing field. Therapy is only a small part of telehealth and telemental health services that are currently being provided online in many parts of the world.

Psychiatrists are prescribing medications over the internet, patients are getting access to the experts not available in their areas, and some psychotherapists are beginning to explore internet based group therapy.

Report
Dr. Gutkin has opened the doors to understanding myself and learning the skills I need to overcome anxiety. I have now known him for two years and my life is immensely better as a result. I continue to learn and to grow under his kind, patient and insightful counseling.
