Bay Area Psychotherapy InstituteMeet Our Therapists
A dedicated team, here for you.
BAPTI is a small non-profit organization of pre-licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapists and Associate Professional Clinical Counselors. Our therapists have all completed their graduate degrees and have the appropriate training and education to practice therapy. They are in different stages of their careers and work under the guidance of licensed supervisors as part of the required experience to gain full licensure.
Below you'll find our team of associate psychotherapists. You're welcome to contact a therapist directly, or reach out to our Intake Coordinator to get help finding the best fit for your needs, schedule, and budget.
