Anxiety Therapy for Women in San Francisco

You spend so much time worrying about other people, getting things right, or holding everything together that you've forgotten to ask yourself what you need. You replay conversations and wonder if you said the wrong thing, question your decisions, or worry about disappointing people. You look to others for reassurance before trusting your own judgment.

You may know exactly what advice you would give a friend in your situation, yet struggle to trust yourself when it comes to your own life.

Over time, anxiety can leave you feeling exhausted from constantly analyzing, anticipating, and trying to prevent things from going wrong.

Therapy can help you quiet the self-doubt, feel more confident in your choices, and trust yourself again.

When You're Harder on Yourself Than Anyone Else

If you're like many of the women I work with, you care deeply about the people in your life and often put their needs ahead of your own. You work hard, want to do the right thing, and hold yourself to high standards. Yet you may struggle to offer yourself the same understanding and compassion that you so freely give to others.

You may find yourself trying to meet impossible standards, feeling guilty when you put yourself first, or wondering why no matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough.

No matter how much you achieve, the goalposts keep moving.

My Approach

With over 21 years of experience, I help women navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, integrating IFS-informed therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy.

I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and grounded in what matters most to you. My goal is not only to help you feel less anxious, but also to help you trust yourself more and feel more confident in your choices.

Meet Kimberly Rudy, LCSW

I provide therapy for women in San Francisco and throughout California. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or a difficult life transition, therapy can provide a space to slow down, better understand yourself, and begin making choices that feel right for you.

What Would Change If You Trusted Yourself More?

Imagine making decisions without endlessly second-guessing yourself.

Imagine feeling less pressure to get everything right and more confidence in yourself and your choices.

Therapy can help you move beyond anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure you've been carrying so you can feel more connected to yourself and more present in your life.

You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. A brief consultation is an opportunity to ask questions and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
