    Tina Carter-Engel, LMFT - I received my MFT degree from Lewis and Clark college in Portland, Oregon, and then moved to Wellington, New Zealand for 2 years to work as a home-based therapist. I then returned to my hometown of San Francisco where I began my licensing journey, worked at Urban Services YMCA, and then transitioned into full-time private practice. I currently have an office in Pacific Heights and see adults, youth, and families to support with issues related to ADHD, anxiety, family conflict, and identity.
