Rouse Relational Wellness — Marriage or relationship counselor in San Francisco, CA

I routinely send clients to Rouse Relational Wellness for online and in-person therapy in San Francisco. The diverse staff do great work around relationship issues, especially alternative relationships (polyamory, kink community). As a colleague, I've known the practice owner for years and I find the practice well-organized and responsive. Highly recommend them!

Andrei was scheduled by the intake coordinator for an in office session. When we arrived at the office no one answered the gate bell, nor was it possible to get anyone on the phone to let us in. Once we were able to get inside thanks to a departing client, we were greeted with an empty office. Eventually another therapist arrived and told us Andrei was not in the building. He then was able to contact Andrei who called us and told us he thought it was a telehealth visit. We pulled up our conversation with the intake coordinator and verified it was in person. When confronted of his error, he said "well, there's nothing I can do about it now " in a super shitty tone. This office is not able to provide a safe space for therapy based on our experience.

David was SO helpful to me. I learned so much from him, and I know he does incredible work with all his clients. I would send anyone to him in a heartbeat.

I was nervous about starting and lucky I got a Rosalie. She was kind, patient and so knowledgeable in how to approach goals from multiple paths. I felt safe opening up and learning how to approach my own bias, fears, and challenges! Thank you!

David runs an ethical and heart centered practice and if you have found this place you’ll be glad you did. I have known David professionally for some time now and I gladly refer to him any chance I get! Good therapy is hard to come by and this is a solid referral!

Rouse Relational Wellness has amazing clinicians who are skilled in sex therapy, couples therapy and working with LGBTQ+ folx. Their work with individuals, couples and groups ensures there is support for everyone. I am fully confident that anyone I refer to them will get the support they need.

David and his team are awesome! I reached out to David to see if we could work together to create a workshop for a group of 50+ post-secondary students on Sex & Consent. David's team created a wonderful, well-researched, and engaging experience for our group of soon-to-be college students. Kendra facilitated the workshop and she was fantastic. Many of our students shared this was their favorite workshop of the day!

I recently had the pleasure of discovering that an acupuncturist has been added to the team. I promptly scheduled an appointment with Ollie, and I'm extremely pleased that I made that decision! Ollie truly stands out as an exceptional practitioner. Their warm and gentle approach made me feel incredibly welcome and at ease. They took the time to genuinely listen to my concerns and understand my needs, which made me feel valued as a patient. Ollie’s expertise was clearly evident throughout the entire session, allowing me to completely trust in their abilities. The level of care I received was truly extraordinary and made a significant difference in my overall health and well being. I highly recommend Ollie to anyone in search of effective and compassionate care.

David came to our non-profit, Queer LifeSpace, to present a training for our practicum student cohort on the topic of queer sex therapy. The training was very well-received and was highlighted for its sensitivity to diversity and inclusion. Looking forward to having David back for future training.

After speaking with David, I felt confident he would be a great resource for my clients. As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I am always looking for more trusted referrals in my community. I could tell David had warm, inviting, and trauma informed lens through which he connects to whomever he is speaking to. I appreciated his language around inclusivity for body and gender identities. I will certainly be referring my clients to him in the future as I highly value the collaboration of pelvic physical therapists and psychotherapists!
