Great service! The clothes are fun and chic!! Affordable too. I always leave the store smiling and happy ... every time ... regardless of whether a purchase was made. Therapy ... how apt! The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, and I think that is what makes the trip to the store a form of Therapy! read more

I come here a lot. It's a great place to shop for last minute b-day gifts, last minute cute outfits and they have an annual 40% off everything in the store sale after x-mas each year. I got a bag I was eyeing for months at the sale. While I would agree that some of the things there look like they would maybe fall apart, you can find quality if you look around a bit. They also carry labels like Ben Sherman etc. And it's priced a little better than other stores around SF. read more

Love this place. Its like a hip urban outfitters. Reasonable prices. good clothes. They don;t over buy one certain styles so you are pretty much guaranteed you won't be wearing the same thing as twenty other people that shop there. The owners are super friendly and often sell stuff from local designers. Great place to find gifts for friends and family. read more

Definitely one of my favorite stores in San Francisco. If you're a girl who likes Urban Outfitters-esque clothing but with a less snobbish twist, step right in. The selection of merchandise is as follows: an assortment of adorable, kitschy, or flirty books and trinkets; men's and women's clothing (about 85% women, 15% men); and a smattering of women's shoes, unisex watches, jewelry and accessories. The girls who work here have always been really helpful and sweet as hell. The Mission location has more selection than the North Beach one, or so I do believe... Anyhow. It's a ridiculously cute place, and I adore the feminine, hipster-ish, trendy and interesting finds here. They carry some of the same brands that are carried at Sway (24th street near Castro) and Ambiance. Decent pricing all around, too. read more

The customer service at Therapy is unparalleled. I've shopped there for years and called yesterday with a crazy request - I needed the copy of a receipt for a necklace I purchase a few years ago that had broken and the manufacture would replace if I showed proof of purchase. Melissa at Therapy stayed on the phone with me for 20 minutes trying different ways to track down this purchase. When we weren't successful she told me she'd keep looking and this morning sent through a copy of the receipt! I was so surprised as I thought it was a lost cause. I really appreciated her dedication to helping me and this experience will ensure that I continue to buy at Therapy. Thanks Melissa! read more

Super cute gifts and trinkets here. It's in a great location along the Valencia strip with nice restaurants and store nearby. I came in just to browse the selection of enamel pins and jewelry but didn't end up buying anything. There's a bunch of really cute and clever cards, posters, make-up bags, etc! It's such a fun store, I can spend hours in there just looking at the cute and quirky things. I was eyeballing this super cute minimalist $36 bar necklace for a while, but ended up not getting it because I didn't like that it had my birth stone on it. It's definitely a little more on the expensive side for my taste, but if i'm ever looking for a new jewelry fix or a gift for a good friend, I'll probably stop by here for something unique. read more

I love, love, love this place! If only I didn't live in a city where my rent consumes a third of my paycheck each month I could come here more often! Then again, if I didn't live in said city, it's unlikely there'd be a store like Therapy around the block from my overpriced apartment. Um..catch 22, I guess. Anyway, this place is great. They have cool, funky clothes at not-too-outrageous prices. You know, one of those places where you face the conundrum of "well, it's not THAT expensive"..."but, still, can I really afford to buy MORE clothes this month"... Oh well, I'm glad this place is there for when I am feeling the occasional need for retail therapy... read more

Oh, Therapy. I need to see a shrink after visiting your store because it had my brain spinning for hours. Too many themes/concepts/merchandise and it just doesn't tell a story. That said, I love your taste and passion for fun and fashion. It's just weird to me that the three different branches of your store I've been to in the Bay Area are so strangely different -- I wish I knew what you were going for, but man do I respect your overall goal to cater to a VAST variety of people's random fashion & quirks in such an exceptionally eccentric city. I just wish it wasn't such a random mess... But I still can't resist you. Your window displays at this particular store are SO RAD and I would tell anyone to pass it by just to peek through the glass --and roll the dice when they walk inside :) read more

Great clothes, great accessories, great unique gifts but most of all greta people! The gals at this store are super nice, friendly and HONEST which is soooooo hard to find in a store. I always look forward to going to Therapy. :) read more

I have lived in San Francisco for now 5.5 months, however when I first moved to the Bay area I had a full-time job in Marin County, though due to our recession, I was laid-off, and well, I have had time to now venture to the city more often and explore it. As I did on Feb. 20. I accidently ran into the most eccentric store since my move to the area, it was Therapy. It is a quite small boutique in size, yet, large when it comes to the clothes they have available for women and men. Think Gwen Stefani yet a bit of Charlotte (SATC) mixed together, should you prefer to intertwine the two. As soon as I set foot into Therapy I knew I had a found "my store," a place where I could find an outfit regardless of what occassion I was attending, be it a birthday bash, a cocktail party to a wedding. Trust me, you can find everything at Therapy. From cute, trendy hats, scrafs, wallets, purses and God did they have the cutest heels and all at affordable prices!!!! That's the best part of this boutique! Oh and awesome, unique jewerly available too. I must also mention before finishing this review that they also have for their client, a section fully dedicated to those of us that still believe in giving and thus writing cards. Yup, that was all the therapy I needed on Friday to remind me that though I am far away from my hometown of Los Angeles, San Francisco too has boutiques from the one's I used to spend countless hours in L.A. Alas, a girl finds her home away from home. I would highly recommend this boutique to any woman. And I would also suggest making a day out of it with your girlfriends! I would start off by having brunch with mimosas and then strolling to Therapy and finishing off your day, by what else, but shopping at the most eccentric store yet, that I have found in the city. Trust me, you'll love it. I guarantee you, you will walk out with the cutest clothes in hand and still have money left over in the your pocket, and hey! who said you can't hit happy hour after that?! Woo hoo!! Enjoy! read more

This review is mostly for their exceptional customer experience. I always feel so well taken care of in this store, no matter how busy they are and whether I end up buying anything or not! From casual browsing to dressing room fitting, to purchase pondering time at the cash register, the staff are incredibly warm and helpful. Though some of the pieces are pricey, the staff are great in giving their input without pressuring you to buy. I always feel confident in the purchases I make here, and if not, their exchange-for-store-credit policy is nice because I know I will definitely come back here for future purchases. Thanks, Therapy! read more

OK, so the Place is hella hip. If you're a hipster college student with loaded parents, go there, it's for you. I think the clothing is extremely cute but having an AA in fashion design I know they definitely aren't worth the prices. I would rather go home and make it myself. However, I love the nick knacks! my boyfriend recently had a birthday and I went there to get a gift bag and a card since I was going to give him a random bag of cute stuff (kinda like a stocking stuffer bag.) I had already purchased stuff to give him but I was sucked in while looking at all the cute stuff that I just HAD to buy him. Unlike the clothing, all the nick knacks where totally affordable. When I went to the counter the sales person was very cheery, friendly, helpful, and talkative. I like that, she put me in an even better mood! Definitely worth checking out. read more

I love to walk in and let my intuition and daily mood do the rest. Therapy is a great place to let your mind ramble and pick for you a funny object, a great outfit or a lovely bracelet. I love the spirit of the shop, how eclectic and free-spirited it is. It reminds me of the Bastille neighborhood in Paris. read more

i have great admiration for therapy.. however, this particular location was my first and LAST VISIT. the experience i had here has made it on my most horrible retail experiences list.. i found a bunch of cute pieces that i was going to purchase..but the employees here were so obnoxious and unhelpful (no greet at all), that i decided not to buy anything from this location. i will never, ever come here again.. and i will stick to the therapy in Mountain View. At least the Mountain View staff are very helpful and respectful to their customers. if you can, avoid going to the Valencia location. read more

I HATE shopping for clothes. HATE IT. I feel like nothing ever fits me and I can't put together an outfit for sh!t. And I always end up sweating when I shop, and that's just awkward. I end up with worn out clothing due to my dread of shopping for new stuff. Sooo... the other day I was on Valencia shopping for a gift and headed into Therapy. I ended up wandering into the clothing area because I was also in the market for a dress for the weekend. I was immediately cranky because shopping does that to me and grabbed a few dresses. Someone offered to start a room for me and I used that opportunity to decide it was time to stop shopping and try stuff on. I looked like a treasure troll in the first things I tried on, but felt possibly decent in this coral dress I grabbed. I peeked my head out of the dressing room to get one of the staff's opinions (they seemed nice enough to ask), and a lady staff member came over and suggested a belt. I confessed to her that shopping freaks me out and that I never have any idea what I'm doing when I shop for clothing. At that moment, she grew wings and became my shopping guardian angel. She started picking out dresses for me, belts, brought me shoes, and even brought me a cup of water in the dressing room. She gave me honest opinions on everything I tried on and seemed genuinely interested in choosing the right dresses for my body type. She wasn't pushy at all. She was just SO FREAKIN NICE! Another staff member (who I later learned had only been working there for three days), noticed me trying on dresses and wanted to bring me some suggestions as well. I loved it. I didn't have to keep putting on my clothes and going back to the floor to look for other sizes or styles. The ladies brought me all kinds of choices. If something didn't fit well, they honestly told me so and brought me other sizes. They were wonderful. I walked out of there with not one dress, but five. Oops! Oh, and it wasn't until I was paying that I realized I didn't break a sweat even once while trying on clothes! That's unheard of for me. I officially love Therapy. I love the clothes, and I especially love their helpful, kind staff. This is my new go-to clothing store. read more

Therapy has too much going on for me. They have cute clothes, but nothing that you can't find at 10 other places within a few blocks. And I'm not a huge fan of mixing clothing stores with random junk gift shops. People keep comparing it to Urban Outfitters like that's a good thing, but for me it's bad. I stopped loving Urban about the time I graduated from high school. I'd like to say that my 18 year old sister would love Therapy, but I think even she likes things more toned down now. read more

One word Kawaii. Cute in Japanese, way overused in Japan but this place screams Kawaii. It's one of those places you walk into to window shop and leave with a new wallet, a few postcards, a necklace, shoes and an array of organic stationary. read more

Heaven. You'll find your new favorite things at reasonable prices, from bracelets to mugs to purses. The good news is that the quality and design are surprisingly good for the price, which is refreshing in San Francisco! Another plus? Friendly sales staff. read more

Cute stuff. Too bad it's cheaper and of better quality at Target.

I've always loved this store for cute trendy pretty clothes. You can find some really finds here and some clothes for great prices. and talk about customer service. I went in today and the girl working there was beyond helpful and nice to me. I got a fancy dress for an extremely reasonable price.... and right now they have 20% off everything in the whole store! read more

I've been going to Therapy for about 4 years now & I have to say that the thrill is gone. I hate junk, so all the novelty items in the front annoy me & remind me of Urban Outfitters but it's a nice place to buy a birthday card, hipster costume jewelry & some mean accessories. Watch out for the shoe sales. If I were a skinny metro/gay male, I'd defenitely shop here for Ben Sherman clothes. read more

Again, like my review of Therapy in Mountain View, this is a cute shop with trendy clothes. I'm told that there are home furnishings next door, but my friend rushed me out before I could find them. I'll probably be back to check that side out, since I'm guessing it has more than the Mountain View location. read more

This is sort of the more affordable version of Anthro . . .not really, but very close. Therapy has unique and cool gifts, clothing, and random miscellaneous treasures. I love walking in to browse, not sure what I'll find, and most of it is super affordable. Every single person is super friendly and warm, making the fitting rooms a breeze to get into and out. read more

Monkeys, aliens, and chandeliers, oh my. I didn't even notice shoes, I was too fixated on the walls, staring at the colorful display of creatures and fun things to spice up my apartment that's had BARE walls for 2 years. Oh hell no- time to fix that! Clocks, colors, and craziness kept me in there way too long, but I escaped only spending $150 ish (this time). Therapy has very reasonable prices for comparable boutiques. read more

Super cute store, always has really intesting items inside. Not to mention the friendliest warmest staff.

i didn't check out the furniture side but the service on the clothing store side was really great. i probably woud've spent money anyway but they made it much more pleasant. there were a lot of cute tops and accessories, including a good selection of shoes. i bought one pair and i may have to go back for another. hopefully, my laziness kicks in so i don't. read more

I'm sorry I had high expectations for this place and it disappointed. It's not my kind of style and nothing seemed flattering. Also none of the workers so much as smiled at me. Two stars because they had some interesting books. read more

Came to visit my sister in sf & of course did some shopping . Stopped at this super cute store with stuff that ANYONE would love ! I was looking at the watches at Sydney came up to me asking if she could help. SHE WAS AMAZING ! Such a sweet employee & took time helping me decide which one to get ! I couldn't make up my mind & she never rushed me , which I loved . The store is so cute I wanted to buy everything there ! Next time I come back to the city I'm definitely stopping there again ! read more

Helllooooo sale rack. I'm cheap but even their cheap stuff is friggin' awesome. Lots of fun trinkets and what-not, great place to go gift shopping. read more

Hands-down, my favorite clothing shop in the Mission. The clothes are funky and original, the shoes are outstanding, and I can always find a birthday present for a friend when I am in a pinch. Fabulous. read more

This is my kinda store. They have cute trendy shoes, apparel, and bags!!! Not to mention they sell a variety of style and brands. From Betsy Johnson bags to Obey T-shirts... If I were to describe this place in one sentence... it would be "A better and smaller version of Urban Outfitters". You don't get that corporate, chain store feel in here. They sell little knick knacks like "Ugly Dolls" and books. If your A-D-D like me, then this is your kinda store. They have everything! And if you walk next door they have home furniture too! So awesome! read more

This shop is so much fun for silly gag gifts (squirrel underpants, anyone?) and housewarming items (dreamily scented Voluspa candles). This is far and away THE place to buy greeting cards, if you are of the letterpress persuasion, as I definitely am. They also sell shoes and clothing, with brands on the lower end of the designer quality scale. read more

I love this place, I got a cute winter coat here for a reasonable price the other day. Its hit or miss but you can find cute original items for reasonable bargins and the toy/book section is always fun to browse if you're killing time or need a gift for someone. read more

pretty cool collections with unique tastes of fashion and trendy. the store display is very nice and clean, very comfortable to cruse around after a long day. read more

True to it's name! it IS like therapy. i get overwhelmed by big stores....which is why i like this place!! if i need something to wear tonight, i always know i can find it here. AND it will be cute. AND i can get a pair of shoes and accessories too. AND even a little present/card for whosever's birthday it is that week. one stop shopping...mmmhmmm. read more

Fantastic eclectic selection of fun, humorous, fanciful and practical goods. Sherpani bags are the BOMB!!! And the staff are really helpful! read more

As a guy, I've yet to buy any clothes here. The selection is small and--let's face it--overpriced, but all my gal pals always seem to find something of interest in the form of a dress or a cute top or what have you. So usually I end up perusing the knick-knacks and curios, the abundance of which makes Therapy the perfect "oh shit I need a random birthday present for a second-tier friend ASAP! Bacon flavored gum? Fake mustaches? Rosie the Riveter action figure? Sweet!" type place. Also I've noticed that, for an ostensibly "hip" store at the very nexus of hipsterdom (Val & 16th), the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and void of attitude or snark. read more

Love love love Therapy! The clothing is SUPER chic and cute, very artsy random stuff too! It's the WAY hipper and more unique version of Urban Outfitters since they carry very similar style of clothes but I feel like it's just SOO much more original and affordable! Plus I LOVE that is only a norcal thing too! Yay! I can always find something awesome here and it's been a must to go here everytime I'm in SF! read more

This is always my first stop when I need some new accessories. They have the coolest assortment of local artist stuff: rings, earrings, clips, etc. I have traveled all around the US, and it is probably one of my faves, as far as the variety. Some of my signature pieces I have purchased from here, including a chunky chain with a big black lucite heart on it. The peeps that work here are always friendly, not pushy at all, and funky- not your usual "cooler than thou" cookie cutter Mission types. I heart Therapy. read more

I've popped into Therapy now a few times over the past six months...the clothing seems to be a bit hit or miss...some really fab find and some sort of frumpy-looking finds. They now sell Nixon watches, and their jewelry/gifts/accessories selection is still solidly consistent. read more
