Jake Sims, LMFT — Psychotherapist in City and County of San Francisco, CA

Jake has given me the tools I needed to manage my anxiety

Jake is honestly one of the best people I’ve ever worked with. He’s helped me through some really tough times and always finds a way to make things feel lighter and clearer. There’s something about the way he listens — you just feel safe, understood, and never judged. Even over a zoom session I felt heard. He’s got this calm, grounded energy - thoughtful, open-minded, and real. You can tell he genuinely cares about the people he works with. I’m really grateful for everything he’s helped me with and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I was never really a believer in therapy. I didn't want to go to a therapist but decided to commit to a few sessions to appease family who kept pushing me to go. Hindsight is 20/20 but I wish I had gone sooner. Jake allowed me to feel comfortable opening up, he did not judge, and my mental health and life is better for it. If you are reading this Jake, thank you.
