Therapy Services in San Carlos, San Francisco & Online Across California
Culturally attuned, trauma-informed therapy for individuals, teens, couples, and families.
At Weaving Stories Therapy, we provide therapy that honors your story, your culture, and your nervous system.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, or identity exploration, you deserve support that understands context — not just symptoms.
We offer in-person therapy in San Carlos and San Francisco and secure online therapy throughout California.
Anxiety & Depression Therapy
Anxiety can look like racing thoughts, muscle tension, irritability, or constant over-functioning.
Depression can look like numbness, exhaustion, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
We approach anxiety and depression through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens — recognizing how systemic stress, family dynamics, and identity impact mental health.
You don’t need to “push through” alone.
Trauma & PTSD Therapy
Trauma isn’t just what happened — it’s how your nervous system learned to survive.
We support clients navigating:
- Childhood emotional neglect
- Narcissistic or emotionally immature parenting
- Complex trauma
- Intergenerational trauma
- Immigration and racial trauma
- Religious trauma
- Relationship betrayal
Healing trauma means building internal safety first. We move at your pace.
ADHD & Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
ADHD in adults, teens, and kids often goes misunderstood — especially in women and BIPOC communities.
You may struggle with:
- Executive functioning
- Emotional regulation
- Time blindness
- Overwhelm and burnout
- Shame from years of masking
We offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy that works with your brain — not against it.

Compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for children and teens navigating anxiety, ADHD, school stress, and identity development.

Family changes, grief, or divorce

Couples Therapy
If you and your partner keep having the same argument on repeat, you’re not alone.
We help couples:
- Improve communication
- Repair trust
- Break pursue-withdraw cycles
- Navigate cultural or family stress
- Strengthen emotional intimacy
- Support neurodivergent relationships
Conflict doesn’t mean your relationship is failing. It often means something important is trying to be heard.
BIPOC & Culturally Responsive Therapy
Mental health does not exist outside of culture.
We offer therapy that honors:
- Intergenerational trauma
- Colonial mentality
- Immigrant family systems
- Collectivist values
- Racial stress and code-switching
- Cultural identity conflicts
You shouldn’t have to explain your culture to your therapist.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
Your identity is not something to “work around” in therapy.
We provide affirming support for:
- Queer and trans clients
- Gender exploration
- Coming out
- Family rejection
- Religious trauma
- Intersectional identities
You deserve therapy that celebrates who you are.
Filipino & Filipino American Therapy
Being Filipino or Filipino American comes with a rich, complex cultural story — one shaped by resilience, migration, colonial history, faith, family loyalty, and sacrifice.
At Weaving Stories Therapy, we understand the unique layers that may shape your mental health, including:
• Strong family expectations and utang na loob (debt of gratitude)
• Pressure to succeed and avoid “bringing shame” (hiya)
• Emotional suppression or being the “strong one”
• First-gen and second-gen identity conflicts
You may feel caught between cultures — not fully belonging in either. You may love your family deeply and still feel unseen, unheard, or emotionally alone.
Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to translate your culture or minimize your experiences.
We offer culturally attuned therapy that honors Filipino values while also supporting:
• Boundary setting without overwhelming guilt
• Emotional expression and regulation
• Trauma processing at your pace
• Identity integration
• Healing family-of-origin wounds
• Breaking generational cycles with compassion
Your story deserves nuance.
Your healing can include both honoring your roots and choosing yourself.
