Seeking Chicano/Latino Therapist for cultural identity issues

April 2008

I'm looking for a talented Chicano/Latino or mixed-race (any races) therapist/psychiatrist who specializes in cultural identity issues for adults. Preferably in San Francisco, and who takes Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance. Your help is much appreciated.


Francisco Gonzalez is really talented- I've taken classes that he has taught and was very impressed with his thinking. He is also very warm and accessible. I believe he practices in San Francisco, as well as at La Clinica de la Raza. I am not sure if he takes Blue Cross.

Native Spanish-speaking Couples Counselor

Sept 2005

My friend is trying to locate a native spanish speaking couples therapist. The therapist should be sensitive to recent immigrant issues as well as inter-cultural relationship issues. Session should be conducted in spanish. Helpful Neighbor


I recommend Samuel Tabachnik. He is a wonderful couples therapist from Mexico and I believe he will hold sessions in Spanish (the message on his machine is in Spanish and English). He's in Berkeley near Ashby and Shattuck. His number is 845-3525.
Try Yvette Flores-Ortiz, Ph.D. (sorry, I don't have her number) or Samuel Tabachnik, Ph.D. (510) 845-3525. Best of luck, Melissa

Couples Counselor - Latino or Latina

May 2005

Seeking a recommendation for a Latino or Latina couples therapist, or someone who is sensitive to the cultural issues in our relationship (Latin male, Jewish American female). The archives mention a therapist in SF, but we're looking for someone in the East Bay, preferably Oakland or Berkeley. Thanks


We had difficulties after we had our baby and had a lot of success after getting therapy with Denise Forte, she's in Berkeley and is great. I highly recommend her. Her number is 510-286-7615. I can recommend her for a bicultural couple, since she herself is an American married to a Latino. Anon
