The Well Clinic

This review is for therapist Ali Psiuk:
I’ve had the pleasure of being a colleague of hers for a few years now. Each time we gather to talk about somatic psychology and therapy I’m in awe of her wisdom. Ali is truly an embodied being who brings her whole self to whatever it is she’s embarking upon. She is on top of her extended studies around what is coming up for her clients and brings a much needed social justice lens to her work. You can count on being seen and held when in her presence.

I am a client of Lacey Noonan’s. She has helped me in my daily life as well as helping me to navigate some very difficult times. I find her calming and easy to talk to. I have been to therapists who seem a bit robotic. Lacey is warm and engaging while maintaining a very professional demeanor. I leave our sessions with a better understanding of myself and my behaviors. Lacey has given me the tools to handle situations that I once saw as overwhelming.
I have been seeing Lacey for a little over a year. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to choose her as my therapist!

This review is for Lacey Noonan. I’ve been coming to sessions with her for about a year and a half and have recommended her to friends. She has a friendly, non-​judgemental demeanor and experience with relationship issues and traumatic backstories. I came to her very shaken up over a bad breakup and she helped me wean myself from obsessive behaviors and harsh, shifting expectations for myself and others. I saw her about once a week during the worst times and now check in with her every three weeks or so to recalibrate. She’s got a background of dealing with folks from all walks of life, and so even when sharing very negative experiences and feelings I never got a sense of dismissal or judgement. Anyone with relationship or anxiety concerns (which probably describes most people) would certainly benefit from her sessions.

I’m glad that I will not be charged for the session. I spoke with Courtney when I called again this morning. She listened to my concerns and was very helpful. Shortly after, I got a call informing me that I will not be charged.
I’m changing my review to 4 stars because I think they handled this situation really well and for Courtney’s great customer service.

I highly recommend the Well Clinic and especially the executive coaching services of Cameron. I consulted Cameron as a business coach and he helped me tremendously. He has a unique ability to see the trade-​off involved in any business decision, make a clear recommendation and point you to additional resources when needed. I am so glad I reached out and consulted him and I will continue to do so as my business grows.

Awful! I couldn’t make my first appointment so they charged me $ 170. I literally paid for nothing. Unprofessional

I’ve worked with Cameron for over a year as an executive coach while CEO of my previous startup. Naturally, I approached Cameron with a great deal of skepticism, knowing that:
a) Executive coaches have a history of being a colossal waste of time and money
b) Cameron’s background as a therapist made me feel that he might not be fully equipped to help with many of the hard decisions I had to make as CEO
However when the ultimate responsibility of the company falls on your shoulders, at some point it was very clear that investing in myself as a leader was the most important thing I needed to do for my staff, my investors, and my customers.
When I started researching executive coaches I was not exactly sure what I needed. I didn’t need a strategy consultant (had advisors & mentors for that). Over time it became clear that what I really needed was someone to facilitate a deeper introspection and develop my interpersonal & leadership skills. Cameron does that. He was my go-​to person that I leaned on when making hard decisions — hiring & firing, management challenges, M&A negotiations, and even helping me re-​discover what I wanted to accomplish in this stage of my career.
The Well Clinic isn’t cheap, but when you’re responsible for making smart decisions with millions of dollars in investor money, you don’t want to cut corners.
Every startup CEO should spend at least a month with these people.

So far it’s been amazing. I have Kaiser and saw a therapist there for a few months and found it difficult to connect. I stopped going and recently wanted to go back into therapy. While the well clinic has minimal customer service staff, the gal who did call me back was extremely helpful and patient listening to my needs and matching me up with a therapist she thought would best fit my needs. I have been to two appts and I trust and respect Craig already much more than I ever trusted my Kaiser Therapist. I was tempted to give them 4 stars for the lack of support staff. but you know what yay! cost cutting measures.-plus they offer sliding scale which is still much more than what I paid at Kaiser, but it is actually worth it to be in a healing environment.

I came to the Well Clinic in October 2013 with my wife, with our marriage going through its first real crisis. Over nine months of seeing Cameron as a couple, and Maya individually, I grew tremendously as a person which I attribute in no small part to the therapists at The Well Clinic. Cameron, in particular, was an excellent couples therapist, challenging both my wife and I and immediately reading between the lines and articulating better than either of us the source of our emotions. If you want someone to listen, nod and empathize, Cameron is not your person — he will ask questions, express opinions and is unafraid to challenge, but was also loving and caring for both of us and genuinely honored to be on that journey with us. His directness and candor with my throughout the worst months of my life will never be forgotten, and had I not left San Francisco I would still be seeing him today. Maya, for her part, was an insightful and compassionate ear for me. She knew I was «broken» and needed an ally — many weeks it felt like she was my only friend. Often I relied on the strength of my sessions with her to be able to face the challenges of the couples sessions and what was happening with the marriage.
When we left California and continued couples therapy elsewhere, it became more apparent to me how much work in processing our grief we were able to do at The Well Clinic versus with others. Ultimately, things deteriorated and communication became nearly impossible. There is no way to know what would have happened with our marriage had we stayed in San Francisco and I continued to see Cameron and Maya, but I do know that I was on a great path with them. I could not recommend The Well Clinic any higher and will always be grateful for their help and insight at such a crucial turning point of my life.

The Well Clinic has been an incredible resource. I talk with a therapist at The Well Clinic about how to manage my work relationships and strategize for success. I am learning tips for developing EQ which is supporting me professionally and personally. I am a big believer in self reflection as a means to achieve big goals… in fact I think it is essential. Therapy is a great vehicle for that. I like the comfort and feel of the waiting room — the artistic culture of this place fits with who I am. The downtown location is only one BART stop from my work so I can slip over there easily, even on a busy day.

Cameron Yarbrough is an excellent clinician. We saw him for couples therapy. It was my partner’s first experience in therapy and it was a life-​changing connection for him. I am grateful for the way he improved our relationship and the compassion and kindness he afforded each of us. I have nothing but positive feelings towards this practice.

I see a new therapist every year and never really find what I’m looking for. Part of it, I know, is me not really know what exactly that is. So I wasn’t expecting much from the Well Clinic, but I new I needed to keep looking for «my place». I’ve been going weekly for a few months now and see Julia Barker (along with a few drug-​related appointments with Julie Megler) and only do I have a better idea of what I need to work on, but how to get there (and how to trust the process). I can’t possibly gush enough about the compassion and warmth of this space.
The onboarding process involved a 45-​minute interview where I was «matched» with the right therapist for my needs. The interviewer was kind and funny, a woman I genuinely enjoyed chatting with. No sterile canned interview questions here! And she matched me with Julia, the best therapist I’ve ever had. Some serious stuff is coming up and it’s big and scary, but I feel taken care of for the first time in my life.
Basically, give the Well Clinic a shot. All these glowing reviews are here for a reason.
(My one teeny-​tiny complaint is that there is no «front desk» so sometimes it’s been a pain in the ass to schedule appointments. Though now that I can contact my therapist directly it’s much easier.)

My husband and I have received counseling from Cameron throughout the years. He has helped us to understand our cultural differences and be more patient with one another through the rough spots. My husband is Swiss and I am American. We live in Switzerland now but when we are home in SF we always book an appointment with Cameron just as sort of a check in or touching base.
Couples counseling has helped our relationship by teaching us to express our feelings effectively and to truly listen to one other without taking defense. The therapy sessions we have had with Cameron have really kept our marriage on the right track when we felt derailed. I am a very big believer in the process, I can not see how individuals and couples can get through life without ever seeing a therapist. They just help us to see where our issues stem from and how old patterns may be steering us in the wrong direction.
My husband in particular has always trusted Cameron… which says a lot for a guy who watches a lot of sports and prefers to talk about soccer over his feelings. Those two guys share a great bond now which has helped my husband open up more during our sessions. I think Cameron has an ease with men which is a really great quality for this work. He also has an empathetic side that appeals to me as a women, I feel he truly listens and never is taking sides.
The Well Clinic is a beautiful space too. They have set up the perfect environment that feels private, comfortable and thoughtfully designed.

I absolutely love The Well Clinic. I go to both the Potrero Hill & Financial District locations. Very convenient for my husband and I. Not to mention the beautiful décor at both locations. Very relaxing & comfortable.
We found this place when we needed it the most. Having had our first child we needed a little help reconnecting with each other as well as connecting with the individuals we were prior to our beautiful son. I sincerely believe that our couple’s therapy has helped bridge some of the gaps in our relationship and helped us understand each other that much more. From the beginning both my husband and I felt like we were in a comfortable and safe place. Through our couple’s therapy I began my own personal journey and the work I do in my 1:1 sessions has really helped in the rest of my life.
My husband and I see Cameron Yarbrough for our couple’s therapy and his easy and welcoming manner really made it effortless for us to engage and fully commit to our sessions. If I could give him a gold star I would. These sessions are obviously really personal and when you find some one you have an easy connection to, it makes all the difference. I cannot say it enough, I’m really grateful we found The Well Clinic and I’m especially grateful for Cameron. He’s really helped us come together and continues to helping us today.
For my solo sessions I see Erin Graham. She’s amazing, I feel like I’m seeing an old friend every time we have a session. There’s no judgement or uncomfortable pauses. I honestly feel like I’m sitting across from an old friend who I can share anything with. I walk out of my sessions feeling refreshed and unburdened. She’s really helped me frame certain experiences and given me a new perspective on things. Although I still have some work to do I feel like I’m on the right path once again.
I highly recommend The Well Clinic 100%

The Well is totally an oasis, especially for busy professionals like me. It’s a relaxing and safe space – the clinic in Potrero is a beautiful space, nothing like the stuffy or drab offices you’d expect when going to a therapist. I know Lexi Frank Newhall as a clinician, and she is an excellent listener, a holistic thinker who makes really insightful connections and brings a nurturing, integrative approach to her work. I can’t say enough great things about the high-​quality services and lovely, caring people at the Well.

The noggin.
It’s an interesting thing ain’t it. Seems so simple and obvious sometimes what it will take to make it function blissfully, but every now and again you need some help straightening things out in it. Thanks to Cameron, those things are starting to ride the right course and I am forever grateful.
I originally found Cameron here on Unilocal as my relationship was on its last limb. The reviews from happier couples gave me hope and so we made an appointment. The session was amazing because it made me realize that this wasn’t the relationship for me and while it didn’t end up working out, I knew I had met my guy.
Cameron’s approach is no bs. I truly believe his mission is to get you in and out of there in a timely manner so you can get on with your life and live it to the fullest.
I’ve had therapists in the past that asked me how I felt like they were reading a psych 101 textbook. I’ve had creepy crawlers threaten my boundaries. I’ve had the overly sympathetic ones that crinkled their faces at the stories of my past and none of them ever helped me see a clear path from A to B as far as progress went. In just 2 sessions, the light at the end of the tunnel was glaringly bright with Cameron.
It’s been two months now and I can’t even tell you what an amazing difference he’s made in my world. I look forward to therapy. I know that in every session we are going to make headway and he hasn’t let me down on that goal. His process is kind and genuine and he has a knack for establishing the kind of non-​threatening intimacy that it takes to get to the bottom of things. Seriously, I never would have considered a male therapist, but it’s been the best decision ever!
We’ve only just begun as the Carpenters once said, but I can’t thank the universe enough for pointing me in his direction. If you are looking for a solid guy to help you through your stuff, you just found him. Just don’t steal my appointment time or I’ll have to kick your ass.
Hey, you were warned. ;)

Cameron Yarbrough at The Well Clinic has a gift and shares it with my wife and I on an ongoing basis as needed. Simply put, Cameron helps us identify obstacles that have prevented us from communicating to each other at the level we desire and carefully helps us open the doors to be more honest, supportive, and intimate with each other. I highly recommend Cameron and The Well Clinic.

I highly recommend The Well Clinic.
Julie Megler is one of the most intuitive and professional Nurse Practitioner’s I have ever experienced. When I moved to San Francisco 13 month’s ago, my new insurance plan was not going to be effective until March so I paid out of pocket until then. When my insurance plan did not

There aren’t enough words to say how grateful I am to both Cameron (who acted as a counselor for my husband and me) and Erin (whom I saw individually for over a year). I’d seen therapists before, but none with their warmth, compassion and honesty. I felt my relationship with them was real, unflinching and unconstrained. They held me accountable, they didn’t let me get away with anything (something I’d been very skilled at before), and they never gave up on me.
Knowing them and liking them as people gave me the will and energy to work hard, to dig deep, and despite the difficulties, it was tremendously rewarding. They helped transform potentially sterile emotional pain into an opportunity for intense growth. It only ended because we moved away, but they got me to a better, more adult, and much more honest place.
I can only speak for myself here, but my husband also saw Alex in individual sessions, and from what he told me, he feels very much the same way about him, too.
This isn’t an easy review for me to write. I’m French, so I tend to protect my privacy and don’t readily volunteer this kind of information. But it needs to be known: if your therapist is half the counselor they were to me, consider yourself lucky.

Cameron is great. He’s a fairly directive therapist (vs. passive listening) so we’ve been happy to see movement with our issues very quickly. The location is very nice and comfortable, with a nicely appointed 50’s modernist waiting room.
We have seen cameron for several months now and I have no complaints other than the hot water pot in the waiting room. Sure the tea is free but that water pot is counter intuitive. You turn on the «unlock» button?
There are also several other therapists that operate out of this space. I like that. Makes the whole place feel very professional.
