Spiral Up Therapy
Asian and South Asian Therapists
Why Spiral Up Therapy?
We are a team of Asian and South Asian women therapists in San Francisco, California with a mission to provide high quality, culturally sensitive online mental health care. Life is full of spirals – twists and turns that can either lead us up or down. It’s easy to get stuck in negative spirals, such as anxiety or depression. Instead of going down with the spiral, or sometimes avoiding the spiral, let’s try using these spirals to rise up.
