Mental Health Practice – Well Clinic

Well Clinic was established in 2011 and has grown into a San Francisco Bay Area mental health organization with approximately 40 therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals on staff. The practice operates three locations: Oakland at 5625 College Ave, Potrero Hill at 383 Rhode Island St., Suite 201, and the Financial District at 100 Bush St., Suite 508.

Services include individual therapy, couples counseling, family counseling, child therapy, telehealth therapy, and psychiatry. Named clinicians on staff include Joanna Sargalska-Gelin (Ph.D., PSY), Jerryl Ewing (PsyD), Araceli Leza (PSB), Lucy Moore (LMFT), and kj Cottrell (MD). The practice uses a human-driven matching approach to connect each incoming client with the clinician whose background and approach are best suited to that client’s specific goals and preferences. The clinic reports that the typical period from a client’s first contact to their first scheduled session is less than one week.

Well Clinic describes a particular focus on serving LGBTQ individuals, couples, and families, as well as clients from diverse cultural, spiritual, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. Sliding scale fees are offered to extend access across a range of financial situations, and free consultations are available through the clinic’s website alongside online appointment booking.

The organization holds B-Corp certification and has been recognized as a “Best For The World Honoree.” The practice is in the process of converting to a worker-owned cooperative structure, which the website identifies as the first mental health worker-owned cooperative in the United States, a development the organization frames as part of its broader values around equity and shared governance.

The three Bay Area locations distribute access across different neighborhoods, making in-person appointments more geographically practical for clients across Oakland and San Francisco. The telehealth option further extends the clinic’s reach for clients elsewhere in the service area or those with scheduling or mobility constraints.
