Hi, I’m Chloé Wei, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Lic#133073). I believe that at our core, we all have a deep need to be seen, heard, and understood. For the past nine years, my work has been rooted in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the most powerful tool for healing.
Whether you are navigating the heavy fog of depression, the exhaustion of new parenthood, or the shifting tides of a major life transition, you don’t have to carry it alone. Together, we will create a space where you can feel safe enough to be authentic, vulnerable, and ultimately, empowered!
I offer a supportive, affirming space where clients can show up authentically. I guide individuals in rediscovering themselves and taking meaningful steps toward a more purposeful and aligned life.
It's difficult to find someone who gets you. I get it, I've been a client looking for a therapist. When talk therapy hasn't worked how you'd hoped, that's when you can consider a therapy like Somatic, EMDR, or ERP. I can help you with any of these issues. I am a highly effective therapist that also has out of network options for intensives. If you are using insurance and have CPTSD, PTSD, or OCD, we can only meet in the 1 hr format. I have extensive EMDR experience.
I have my MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, and BA from Concordia University, Irvine. I am a later career change and have extensive experience in the creative and tech industries.
I often work with women in Perimenopause to menopause, but have worked with men as well. The attributes of clients who find me are usually ready to change and have tried everything. I find they find the right therapist, at the right time, with the right type of therapy and it changes their lives. You can see more in my google reviews.
I know pretty quickly if we are a match and I won't waste your time, I know the people I can help, and if you want that kind of care, and hate traditional talk therapy, I am your therapist. Reach out to see if we are a match.
I am a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward self-understanding, emotional well-being, and personal growth. I believe that every person has the inner strength and resilience to overcome life’s challenges. My role is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
I support deep-feeling individuals in gaining self‐knowledge, confidence in their own intuition and voice, and practical tools to navigate challenges when they resurface. My work is collaborative and person‐centered; I see therapy as a process of guiding you back to yourself, rather than telling you what you should do.
Together, we explore how past experiences may be impacting your life today, build awareness of your nervous system, and create space for clarity around your purpose and goals.
I am LGBTQIA+ and multiculturally informed and welcome diverse communities into my practice.
Many of the struggles that bring us to therapy—anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, self-doubt, or feeling stuck—have deeper roots than we realize. Sometimes these patterns develop through painful experiences, major life transitions, or family systems that taught us to prioritize others, question ourselves, or adapt in ways that no longer serve us. Therapy offers the opportunity to understand these patterns and create lasting change.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the spouse of a retired Army Veteran, I've spent much of my adult life living in different parts of the country and world, continually building community and connection wherever life led. Those experiences deepened my understanding of resilience, belonging, and the many ways people adapt through change, loss, and transition. I bring that perspective into my work, creating a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space where individuals, couples, and families feel genuinely seen and understood.
Together, we'll work to understand the deeper patterns shaping your life, strengthen your relationships, and help you move toward a more authentic, fulfilling way of living.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in San Francisco
Finding postpartum therapists in San Francisco starts with looking for someone whose training fits what you want to focus on. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also have perinatal mental health training or a perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C. Reading specialties and bios can help you see whether a therapist has experience with new parents, prenatal therapy, postpartum couples therapy, or related concerns.
San Francisco has many therapy options across neighborhoods like the Mission District, Noe Valley, the Marina, and the Castro, which can make the search feel less clear at first. For new parents, practical fit matters too: appointment times, commute or transit access, virtual availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. Virtual care can make it easier to meet from home when schedules shift, infant care changes, or physical recovery affects travel. Before booking, review each profile for details on communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
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 find therapists who work with postpartum concerns and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan in San Francisco. You can enter your insurance details, compare estimated out-of-pocket costs, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
