Who You’ll Meet With in San Francisco
Hi, I am Courtney Quattrini, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an office in San Francisco. I see couples, individuals, and teens in person here, and online anywhere in California.
For twenty years I told stories for other people. I worked in PR and corporate communications, helping CEOs and brands take center stage while I stayed safely behind the scenes, scripting everyone else's story while wearing a mask of my own.
Eventually I realized that human beings do the exact same thing corporations do. We spin our narratives to protect what is vulnerable. We become the high-achieving performer, the peacekeeping partner, the one who never breaks. It works, right up until the armor starts to suffocate us.
So I don't sit in the therapy room as an aloof, sterile blank slate. I map out the patterns you can't see, name where you are self-abandoning, and help you hand the pen back to yourself. I've lived the chapters my clients bring into my office.
I don't ask you to step out from behind your armor while hiding behind mine.
Who I Work With in San Francisco
People find me at different points in the story. Here is who tends to walk in:
Couples stuck in the same argument, or drifting into roommates
Partners getting ready for marriage or navigating long-term commitment
Adults carrying anxiety, self-doubt, and shame
Professionals running on empty behind a successful exterior
Adults in the middle of a career, midlife, or identity change
Teen girls and young women finding their footing and discovering who they are
If you are in San Francisco or the wider Bay Area and looking for support, this is the work I do.

Teen Girls & Young Women
For teen girls and young women sorting out who they are apart from family expectations, school pressure, and everything happening online.
We are all just stumbling through trial and error, trying to figure out how to live, love, work, play, and heal without a roadmap.
• Relationship patterns and the same conversation on a loop
• Anxiety and overthinking
• Past pain and trauma, at your own pace
• Burnout, perfectionism, and the cost of performing
• Life transitions and questions about who you are becoming
• Family of origin scripts you did not choose
I see clients throughout San Francisco and across the Bay Area.

In Person Sessions in
San Francisco and Online Across California
3514 Geary Blvd, Suites 307/308, San Francisco, CA 94118
There is a version of San Francisco that feels old, familiar, and unhurried - where the streets are lined with historic architecture, the pace naturally slows down, and you can finally catch your breath. That is what I hope to bring to life in my physical space.
Tucked away in the Jordan Park / Laurel Heights neighborhood, my office is a quiet place to step off the city treadmill, set down the public performance, and look at your story together.
When you arrive, help yourself to hot tea, filtered water, or a light snack before we begin.
I see clients in person at my San Francisco office.
Getting Here & Accessibility
Transit & Access: Easily accessible from the Presidio and Pacific Heights, with direct access via central Muni transit routes. Convenient neighborhood street parking is available in the surrounding area.
Accessibility Note: Please note that our office is accessed via a traditional flight of stairs. If stairs present a physical barrier, secure online telehealth is always available statewide across California.
In-person work can give you a consistent place to slow down, reflect, and focus on what needs attention. Some people find that a room set aside for this makes the work easier to enter and easier to leave behind.

I see clients from across San Francisco and the wider Bay Area, including the East Bay. Because I am also licensed for online work throughout California, distance is only a factor if you specifically want to sit in the room.

I am in-network with Aetna for individual, teen, and couples therapy. In-network openings are based on current panel capacity and availability. For clients utilizing out-of-network benefits or choosing private pay, sessions are $235 for 50 minutes and $280 for 60 minutes (pro-rated in 10-minute increments at $47 if additional time is needed). I provide monthly superbills upon request for out-of-network PPO reimbursement, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. (Please note: Because I am an in-network provider with Aetna, I cannot provide superbills for Aetna members who elect to self-pay). We can talk through what fits your needs during our initial consultation.

Getting started begins with a consultation, and I typically respond to new inquiries within 24 hours.
