San Francisco Chronicle, The Peer Counseling Collective has been providing client-centered counseling to the public for free since 1970. Our approach is humanistic, which stresses a positive view of human beings; counselors listen and help clients make sense of their experience. Drop-in sessions for individuals and couples are available Monday through Friday from 6:30pm-9pm (intakes begin at 6:15pm). We also offer 30-min sessions to women and transgender-indentifing clients on Saturdays from 12-2pm (intakes begin at 11am). Clients interested in scheduling ongoing appointments can come to drop-in sessions until they find a counselor they're comfortable working with. PCC counselors come from a variety of cultural, gender, and sexual identities, but they have in common a commitment to providing a compassionate, confidential, and nonjudgmental counseling relationship to adults regardless of economic need.
