welcome

Welcome to my website.  I am Dr. Drew Tillotson, a licensed Clinical Psychologist in full time private practice with over 19 years of experience.  I am located in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. I work with adults in both individual therapy and couples work. Increased stress, fear, physical illness, age, professional pressure, insecurities about an ability to be emotionally and sexually intimate with others are common problems that can begin to be understood in the context of psychotherapy.   When seeking psychotherapy, many people find they have come to a point in life where exploring their personal dilemmas alone or with family or friends has not proven to resolve these problems.  Some people are able to identify patterns on their own, but have not been able to emotionally understand their reactions and moods.

Others are at a loss as to understanding their own blind spots.  We all have blind spots and confusion at times.  When these become overwhelming or repetitive, seeking help from a trained professional well versed in helping others explore and define problematic behaviors and cycles can be a great relief.

I work with many other issues intrinsic to adulthood.

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Stress
• Difficulties with intimacy
• Work-related issues
• Mid-life issues
• Major career or life transitions
• Sexuality issues
• Problematic sexual behaviors (related to porn, sexual website addictions and turning to prostitutes)

I also have extensive experience with:

• Technology specialists and computer professionals
• Creative artists
• High pressured career people in Finance, Law, Business, Medicine
• Health related concerns around chronic illness such as cancer and HIV
• Asian Americans
• Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual issues

As you explore my web site, I clarify my experience and approach to this work.
I hope you find this space useful.
