Counseling Services
Holos Institute provides caring, high quality, affordable counseling services with mature marriage and family interns and licensed therapists. Our counseling offices are based in San Francisco with satellite offices in Oakland, Marin (Kentfield) and Petaluma.
We also offer nature-based therapy in outdoor locations that are predetermined with the therapist.
Individual nature therapy always begins by meeting the individual therapist intern indoors, at one of our office locations and establishing rapport and a sense of safety before scheduling outdoor sessions.
Holos treats the whole person. That includes taking into account the body, mind, heart and spirit of each client, as well as considering the greater system in which each of us live. Holos also explores clinical applications that arise from earth based wisdom traditions, imagery or reflections on nature and other such techniques that stimulate a sense of wholeness and restoration of balance in the psyche and whole being.

A Therapy Group for Men
Openings on-going
Meets Sundays 7-9pm in Upper Fillmore district, San Francisco
Tuesdays 7-9 in inner Richmond district, San Francisco
Affordable fee—12 Week Initial Commitment
In this group we will embrace and explore issues that men
often find themselves struggling with.
Together we will share and learn to work with our anger,
shame, grief, loneliness, and sense of power in order to create
lives with more passion and connection.
By supporting each other’s experience, we will dive more
deeply into our own expressions of masculinity and learn how
we can feel more alive by holding our issues with compassion
and heart.
