New Leaf: Services For
Our Community is the nonprofit multi-purpose counseling
center for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities
of San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area..
We prioritize services to middle and low-income
individuals and families who cannot afford private therapy or support
services. Fees are set on a sliding scale based on income, and some
services are free. Many of our programs also accept Med-Cal, private
and group insurance.
New Leaf is the only comprehensive mental health,
