Welcome to the website of Betsy Kassoff. I have been practicing as a clinical psychologist for over thirty years in San Francisco, and have worked with hundreds of individuals and couples, learning from all of them. I am perceptive, respectful, and straightforward. I will let you know right away about whether and how I think I can help you. The best way to know if we are a fit is to talk or meet together, so that you can get a feel for who I am. All psychotherapy research agrees that the best predictor of therapy outcome is the experience of the therapist, and the quality of the therapist-client relationship. I strive for both.
In addition to my private practice, I have been the Clinical Director at an outpatient clinic in San Francisco, the Department Chair of a Master’s level Psychology program, and have taught at a number of graduate schools in the Bay Area. The classes I have taught include issues of gender, sexuality and sexual orientation, relational psychoanalysis, and working with couples, among others. I’m a mom, a writer, a gardener, and a long-term resident of San Francisco.
Feel free to call, text, or email me to talk about what you are looking for.
