“The Greenlight Clinic has been a safe haven for many of our students searching for support in their personal struggles, but who could not afford therapy otherwise. Students have told me it is a friendly and welcoming clinic where they feel heard and respected. Thank you, Greenlight Clinic, for all the incredible work you do and for being such an accessible and consumer-friendly clinic!” – Mia Rachel Gutfreund, Mental Health Case Manager SFSU
With these two problems looming over me I peeked help. Greenlight clinic gave me the help I needed with one of the best therapists I have ever had. He brought me back to being me slowly. He helped me get back into journaling, he helped me figure out which voice of out all the voices in my head were me, he helped me reflect and really sit with my feelings. He would always tell me that it was ok to not know how I felt and to not be afraid to just sit in my confusion. He helped me find my strength and my voice. – Anonymous client: age 22
“My experience at Greenlight Clinic truly opened my mind to a side of life I’d been missing for too long. I came here for help, and that’s exactly what I was given. For anybody struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other mental fatigue, this is the place for you. I was skeptical at first to come here; however, because this is a voluntary clinic, I figured I had nothing to lose, and gave it a shot. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was taking that leap and accepting that I needed help. The staff at Greenlight was so genuine and helpful that you won’t regret it.” – Anonymous client
“It took a lot for me to admit I needed help, and navigating the waters of finding a therapist that took the correct insurance and was compatible with me was daunting to say the least. When I was told about Greenlight Clinic, it actually felt too good to be true. I’ve been attending weekly sessions at Greenlight Clinic now for 10 months and feel so supported.” – Anonymous client
“At a very challenging time in my life when I felt like I was losing my footing and disappearing into all the things that life had thrown at me, GLC was a beacon of hope, offering me a listening ear and a helping hand. If it wasn’t for Marjorie, and later, Carol who counseled both me and my husband, I don’t believe I would have successfully made it through that challenging period. What’s more, if GLC had not been a free clinic, not any of this would have been possible. As a graduate student with intermittent health insurance and never any mental health benefits, the average cost of therapy in the bay area (around $100 per session) was just not sustainable. Until GLC, I didn’t think therapy was an option for someone in my position. For these reasons and more, I am forever grateful to GLC and hope that someday my husband and I can contribute to its mission of making mental healthcare more accessible and affordable for all youths in the greater San Francisco area.” – Anonymous client

“Greenlight Clinic provided an easy gateway into the world of therapy because of its free of cost model and mission to help young adults. I was fortunate enough to be paired up with a therapist who I am comfortable with and look forward to seeing every week. In a nutshell, the conversational nature of our sessions and focus on mindfulness and awareness aligns well with my yearning to further develop these qualities in myself so I can live more happily.” – Anonymous client
