David is thoughtful and compassionate about each individual and family he works with and dedicated to provide the help and guidance when in need.

In the therapy world it is rare to find a counselor who is able to hold space for feelings and at the same time still be masculine. He is wise, caring, and a rounded individual with a lot of life experience to draw from on top of his education and therapeutic skills. I first met Dan at a training for psychotherapy. I was struck by his honesty and ability to read people. As a fellow therapist I really appreciate meeting with him and feel really supported and enriched when he listens and offers reflections only process. I recommend him highly for anyone looking for a psychotherapist in San Francisco.

I saw Dan Neuharth for a little while, and unfortunately, my experience was not very good. Since…read morethere's limited information about him online beyond his own website, I wanted to share my personal experience in case it helps others on their path toward healing and self-discovery. Therapy can be a major emotional, financial, and time investment. After some reflection, I've come to realize that I left my time with Dan feeling worse than when I began. A subsequent therapist I saw was shocked and concerned by some of the things he said to me. In hindsight, it often felt like the focus was more on him than on helping me. There were moments in therapy where I felt manipulated -- especially after sharing something vulnerable. Dan came across as thin-skinned and reactive, and at times I noticed flashes of what felt like intense anger. On more than one occasion, he spoke very harshly about people he disagreed with or perceived as less intelligent. I didn't fully recognize it at the time, but now I understand just how unsettling this is coming from a therapist who is in a position of power. Looking back, it struck me that so many of Dan's behaviors seemed reminiscent of the negative traits often associated with Donald Trump, including a lack of emotional attunement, more limited compassion, a certain sense of entitlement, and the rapid onset of anger -- at least in my experience with him. Additionally, he would imply what words I should or shouldn't use, and was intense about it. He often stonewalled when he disagreed over relatively minor topics or terms. This felt controlling rather than constructive. Also, he ran late to sessions and was frequently disorganized. I looked into his educational background and found that his psychology degree appears to have come from a for-profit school with a high acceptance rate. A basic search returned poor reviews of the rigor of education there. I could be wrong, and this alone isn't disqualifying, but it added to my concerns about the level of care I received. Over time, it started to feel like Dan struggled with internal confusion or unresolved issues that were being projected onto my work. I believe this affected my ability to gain clarity and feel grounded. After therapy with him ended, those effects began to fade -- but it took time. While I can't speak to Dan's motivations, I've wondered why he chose this profession -- especially with a focus on narcissism -- given the new understanding I have of his conduct. If you are seeking help with narcissistic abuse or trauma, I would advise being cautious. This is simply my experience, and others may have different ones. But based on what I went through, I believe there are better options out there -- especially now that remote therapy has made high-quality care more accessible. There are many ethical, helpful therapists out there. Unfortunately, there are also some who can do more harm than good. Trust your instincts and take care of yourself.

I wouldn't be writing this review of Dr. Dan Neuharth if I hadn't just come across a very negative…read morereview of him, written on July 12, 2025. I don't like publicly outing myself as a former client, but I just cannot let that bad review stand. IMHO, Dr. Neuharth is such an outstanding therapist!! Basically, the short version of what I want to say is that every negative comment made by that reviewer, would be accurate if it were flipped to the reverse. In my experience, Dr. Neuharth is exceedingly respectful and caring. From the first minute of the session to the last minute, he is alert, interested, and totally focused on you, the client. He is exceptionally supportive. He is not reactive or defensive, but routinely invites feedback and criticism. This is extremely healing to people who had to be vigilant as children never to criticize parents. Negative reviewer stated, "Lack of emotional attunement." The opposite is true. Dr. Dan is extremely emotionally attuned. You can see this, in his demeanor, in an interview he did on Dr. Les Carter's "Surviving Narcissism" YouTube channel, and in a talk on RECAMFT YouTube channel entitled "Working Effectively with Clients Raised in Narcissistic Families." Watch for yourself. Decide for yourself. Best of luck to everyone out there!!

In therapy, you want to make progress not a life long commitment to attending therapy and I believe she understands that and her motivation is in making people feel good and productive.

All of our sessions were over Zoom (thanks to Covid), but nonetheless she made the environment feel safe, open, and connected, as if she were right there with you. Talking to her is like talking to an unbiased trusted friend. She makes all parties involved feel respected and heard. She doesn't take sides, but finds a way to make everyone feel like they have valid concerns and gives communication strategies to help navigate through tough conversations or hot buttons in a relationship. She's the first therapist I've ever worked with who has given actionable tools to use in everyday situations, instead of just listening and saying she'll see me next week. If you show up open and ready to work to see results, I have no doubt you'll be thrilled with your experience. I HIGHLY recommend her!

We tried multiple therapists, and though adequate, they were not multi-faceted enough to understand and consider the complexities involved in a dynamic set of circumstances. We found Stefan Benton from an MFT referral and colleague of his in Mill Valley, and we are most certainly glad that we did! Serendipity happens, and it can for you as well. Stefan has a wife and young daughter of his own. Thus, being in the trenches as well, he brings a framework for viable family and interpersonal communications from his studies (and does he study!) of human nature and his own life experiences based upon real scenarios. This is not a cupcake therapist. An intellectually engaged person with real life and relevant experiences is who you want on your team. He is that person and coach. Plus he guides the conversations in a nice way, while getting to the core issues, and somehow, assuaging the fears and anxieties that can surround our inter-familial communications, opening everything up in a timely and relaxed fashion. Go online now to book your appointment. You will be glad you did : )
