Welcome! My name is Savannah Belk-Talton and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I provide evidence-based Therapy in person in San Francisco and online throughout the state. My passion is rooted in empowering people to reach their potential, unblock mental barriers to success and find more joy in life through alignment with your purpose.
I serve children (ages 10+), adolescents and adults. I provide individual counseling support to help ease life’s challenges and improve your quality of life. My style is direct yet compassionate. I believe that everyone deserves an advocate in life.
Curious if therapy is right for you? Reach out for a free 20 minute consultation—no commitment, just a conversation.

My Approach
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. My style is warm, relational, and tailored to you — because the most effective healing happens when you feel truly seen and understood. Every treatment plan is thoughtfully customized to meet you where you are and grow with you as you evolve.
Modalities I Draw From:
Foundational lens: Mindfulness-based framework with an attachment-oriented approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — evidence-based tools woven throughout our work addressing the connection between thoughts, values & behaviors
IFS (Internal Family Systems / parts work) — for healing trauma and deepen awareness within yourself and hold greater compassion for the wounded parts
Somatic mind-body work — as a 200-hour trained Yoga Instructor with 16 years of practice, I help you access safety in your body through a trauma-informed lens, honoring the body's innate wisdom
Why an Integrative Approach:
This approach allows us to work with both the mind and the deeper, sometimes wordless, parts of your story. With children 12 and under, I focus on a play therapy approach and utilize sand tray play when appropriate.

“The important thing is: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become”
Charles DuBos
I have a passion for supporting female identifying clients in all stages of life on their journey toward self-discovery and reaching their goals. Whether you're working to reclaim your confidence, rediscover your strengths, or untangle the wounds of relational trauma, you don't have to navigate it alone. This work is close to my heart, and I show up for it fully.
I welcome clients of all racial identities and sexual orientations. I am committed to creating a space rooted in safety, cultural awareness and respect. We will craft tailored pathways that honor personal history while illuminating future possibility. My style is direct, flexible and compassionate.
I hold a Masters degree in Counseling from the Wright Institute and obtained my BA from UNC Wilmington. I am originally from Charlotte, NC and reside in San Francisco with my husband and our two cats.
Therapy for your child
Parenting a sensitive or neurodivergent child — including those with ADHD — can be as rewarding as it is exhausting. If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to best support your child, you're not alone, and you've come to the right place. I work with children and their parents to build practical tools that work for your family's unique dynamic.
Beyond the therapy room, I advocate. I will help your child get the understanding and support they deserve to thrive. I specialize in working with sensitive and creative children who struggle to manage big emotions. I provide support for parents and work to strengthen the communication between you and your child.
The first session would be parents only
I encourage parent-sessions every 8 weeks
I believe collateral contact with teachers and other providers helps provide holistic, supportive care for the child
