Michela Passoni

My background includes private practice, outpatient programs, integrated care teams, academic teaching and digital mental health leadership. My name is Michela Passoni, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Francisco, California.

I work with adults and couples, including ambitious professionals who seem successful but privately struggle with stress, self-doubt, exhaustion and questions about identity and direction. Other concerns include burnout, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and recurring conflict, life transitions and entrenched patterns.

My approach is humanistic, insight-oriented and collaborative. I use existential psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method combined with emotionally attuned therapy, and values-based work. In couples work, I help partners understand patterns, communicate better and rebuild connection.
