One of those stores I adore but pretty much never purchase anything from. Bottom-line, out of my price range for the quality that I'm getting. Yes, the clothes are definitely adorable and the variety is beyond normal chain department stores... But the clothes can be quite trendy at times and I'm having a hard time accepting that this ruffled 1980s sweater look is back in. That and the 1990s grunge unshapely shirt look that popped up overnight. Plus, I don't want to pay $80 for a plain jersey knit wrap dress. Or $98 for a Little House on the Prairie granny sweater. Does this just mean I'm really out of touch? Probably. But truthfully, I don't mind. If y'all want to have your trends, go for it. But still, I return to this store every so often in hopes I'll find a non-trendy and affordable gem. That's why I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt with four stars instead of three. I will note that I don't trust the staff here. My friend was looking for a holiday dress for an office party and I walked in the middle of the staff girls giving their "Oh, that's NICE! That color looks really good on you!" opinions on a dress that really wasn't her style. Look, ladies, I've known this girl for ten years. We've even lived together. I know what she likes and she likes honesty. Needless to say, I cut through the BS and helped her find a dress for her holiday party in less than 15 minutes. Which is more than the sales associate who thought she'd want to wear some shiny paisley dress can say. I took one look at that thing and remarked: "Yeah. I don't think my friend's going to like that fabric." But no no, she's the sales associate so she showed it to my friend anyways. And yeah, I told you, she didn't like it. When shopping, friends trump fashionable sales associates any day. read more

I came here with one of my girlfriends because she had to return something, and this is one of her new favorite stores -- she thought I had to check it out. I'm not a shopper -- I like to get dressed, and on occasion, I think shopping can be fun. If you have money. Which I don't. They seemed to have a huge sale, and the entire store was 20% off. They had a decent sales rack with some jeans and sweaters that were going for $20 or less. I tried a couple of things on, and I liked some items -- but I didn't really love them. In these tough times, I really have to love something to buy it. I saw a couple of cute shoes, but the ones I would have even considered purchasing were only available in small sizes... how many women have feet that are 6.5?!?!??!?!!? Who are these teeny tiny women? Does foot binding still exist?!?!?!!?!? Nevertheless, I wasn't all that impressed, and left empty handed. read more

This is a great place to buy clothes for the twenty-something in your life. You might find something for yourself too, which is always a bonus. A couple of reviewers said they thought Therapy is overpriced....wha.??? I don't think so. Today I bought a pretty fully lined dress...19.99. Last month I bought a great coat for 60. The salespeople are generally really nice and more interested in helping you find what you're looking for than making a sale which I really appreciate. I would have given 5 stars but the jewelry selection has gone waaaay downhill in the last 5 years or so. Now it's a bunch of crappy plastic stuff with maybe a cute bird printed on it or something. read more

This place reminds me of Urban Outfitters. Similar price range and style of clothes and they also sell cute,artsy decorative stuff like Urban does too. Only difference is that since Therapy is more of a boutique, I don't run into a bunch of other girls w/the same outfit on as me (like I do w/stuff from Urban). AWESOME!! To date, I have purchased 2 dresses and a pea coat from Therapy and I love them all. I got the dresses on clearance which makes things even better. I usually get compliments when I wear my purchases out, so I'd say it was money well spent! I especially love the pea coat I got here. It was under $100 and has enabled me to stay warm in style in the chilly winter weather :) While the store on Valencia is not that large, they have enough selection to keep me occupied for quite a while. My friends can vouch on that! The salesgirls here are also really sweet and helpful. It must be a sales scheme because they make me want to purchase more than I originally planned. All in all, most of the clothes here are super cute and stylish. In fact, stepping into this place makes me want to re-invent my entire wardrobe. The only draw-back is that I just can't afford it. Most of their non-sale items are more than I'm willing to spend. But, I will definitely be back to hit up their sales rack for all my fashion needs! 4 stars! read more

Therapy Stores always has an item that can make me laugh and has a great selection of thoughtful gifts for others. It's a reassuring feeling to know that after so many years of living in the city, this small business is still here providing a sense of community and joy. read more

After a satisfying lunch at Tartine this is my place to shop it off. Cute cards and gift sets of soap and lotion for about $22 (perfect for birthday presents). Cute affordable jewelry (I bought a handcuff necklace for $35). There's clothes for guys and girls. For the girls I found pieces from Kensie, Ben Sherman, Tule, and Moon Collections. Scored a grey Obey jacket with a mandarin collar for $92. There's a shoe section with comfy flats and heels. Also saw bags from Betsyville. The service was super friendly and helpful. No pressure sales. They helped me pick out birthday presents even for the most difficult people in my life. The little girls running aorund pointing at thre dresses they "wanted" was too cute! read more

I mistakenly thought that my boyfriend's Christmas party was going to be a fancy affair so I dressed accordingly. I later found out that it was going to be at Jillian's sports bar...real classy. Feeling really overdressed and a little too self conscious, I decided to try and find something a little less formal and walked into Therapy to see what I could find. I was greeted by 3 amazing sales ladies named Orriana, Marissa and Marissa (SP?) Not only did they help me find the absolute perfect dress, they even helped me accessorize when I didn't know what to do with myself. I felt like Cinderella who mistakenly thought she was supposed to go to a ball, realized she was actually invited to a crappy sports bar, and had 3 lovely fairy Godmothers who had her back and made her look uber cute in spite of it all. 2349820954 stars! read more

I really like Therapy and it always makes me happy to pop in, but to be honest, I have never ever found anything for myself there. What's up with that? I guess men's clothing isn't their strong suit. I generally come to therapy to kill time in the Mission, or get cards and gifts for my mother, sisters and the MBGITW. They have a pretty great selection of kitschy cards and books. Its a great last minute shopping spot for birthdays and holidays. Maybe someday I will need 'Canadian' Breath Freshener or a plastic Sigmund Freud action doll, but right now, I come here with others in mind. I suppose if you are just bumming around the mission its a must do stop. read more

Cute boutique! I was so amused just browsing through everything. Their clothing and accessory selections are great. Everything is super cute in here. It's also a great place to find a cute gift or gag gift. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They helped me try on a few watches and they offered great advice on the different brands and styles. I can't wait to come back here. I'm still thinking about that watch I tried on... :) read more

So im literally standing in front of your store at 8:34pm and your website says you're open till 9pm yet you have your closed sign up. RUDEEEEEE read more

Therapy Stores - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Francisco, California

Always a good place to drop cash on stuff no one needs. My go-to place for quirky, snarky birthday cards. While in there, scope the random selection of books, colorful accessories, home decor and puzzles (ya, the jigsaw, cut-out type). I'm old school like that. And I love it. read more

Wow! What can I say about Therapy?! I just came in today for my first time. The clothes are fun and funky! I love it! But what really sold me was the service I received there. It was wonderful! I started out getting helped by Dom. He brought me many things to try on for my event. He offered to get different sizes and styles. Eventually, all the sales associates were helping out! I feel like they genuinely WANTED to help, not just make a sale. And that's what I appreciated the most. They were kind, friendly, sweet, and so very helpful! This won't be my last visit to Therapy! My only regret is I didn't learn all their names! They were wonderful! :) Thank you so much! read more

L-O-V-E this shop. Well, mainly the shoe selection, accessories, books and novelty items. The clothing selection was good but the ample amounts of all of the other things in the shop I did love. Tons of jewelry made by local artist which was rad! I ended up getting a leather coin purse in the shape of an owl. Best part I assumed that it would of ran nearly $50 but when I got up to the register to pay I looked at the tag and it was only $18. Everything here is reasonably priced. Nothing insane. In fact it was presidents weekend so they had a no sales tax weekend! Follow them on Facebook for more info on upcoming events and offers! The girls working here were really nice and helpful. If your just visiting the area be sure to stop by as well as their sister shop next door where you will find dope pieces of mid-century inspired furnishing, lamps, different textiles, home accessories and art! http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=110996172529&share_id=277804425650&comments=1#!/pages/THERAPY-STORES-INC/132569837672?ref=ts read more

This store....omg. Perfume Marshmallow- bought. I smell amazing. Thank you. "What? I owe you money?" Coin purse- bought. Adorable. Almost bought- A cute button up, yellow sweater. An owl piggy bank....that one was hard to put down and walk away from. And some hip jeans. Next time, Therapy. Next time. read more

Another great store to find fun gifts and cards, although the lack of updated merchandise hastily wears off the novelty. It seems like I can visit this store after a several month hiatus and encounter the exact same books, wallets, and gifty things that were displayed during my last visit. In case you're stupid, let's just say that this gets boring. Even though I've never bought any clothes here, Therapy does offer some really cute dresses and skirts in the Free People design realm and I've always been impressed by their sales. I usually find at least one piece of costume jewelry to fall in love with and my roommate bought me a great pair of earrings here as well. Definitely check it out if in the neighborhood, although I don't think I'd necessarily go out of my way for Therapy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, enough with the crazy jokes, I can hear you from over here. . .or are those just the voices in my head? Shut up, you're the crazy one. I prefer to consider myself interesting. read more

I love love love this store. The books are great, the kitschy jewelry is well kitschy and adorable. And the dresses! oh the dresses. Being someone who wears mostly dresses, I love finding cute unique ones, and I have the best luck here. Too bad I can never seem to afford the ones I really want... one star less for the cashier who is always really slow while your table is now ready next door at Ramblas. read more

This is one of my favorite shops in the city due to their wide array of products that they have. They have locally made products for the most part, a lot of Kikkerland products which are awesome!! They sell candles, clothes, knick knacks, baby things, kitchen utensils, notebooks, stationary, jewelry both metal and natural-crystal necklaces and earrings..Now they also sell Sugerfina candies and chocolates, so its literally a one stop shop..A gift for everone including yourself can be found here.HA. Finally the staff here is always amazing! I've never had a bad experince with them, I've been shopping here for years and everyone has always been so sweet, helpful and even playful when I bring my dogs with me..They'll offer them treats, play with them and just overall be super sweet! Thank you Randy and Elisia (Hope i correctly spelled the names) for being so nice on my last visit! Thanks guys!! read more

Therapy Stores - All kinds of things amongst moreeeeeeee. Check them out!! - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Francisco, California

Three solid stars for the adorable, if insanely claustrophobic, selection of clothing, accessories and all-around fun knick-knacks. Plus one star for the amazingly friendly and helpful service. I thought hipsters were supposed to be aloof and a little condescending. But I walked in looking like a nasty climbing bum (complete with chalk under the fingernails and everything!) after a morning at the local climbing gym and was pleasantly greeted with smiles, an offer to start a fitting room, and helpful comments about the fit and sizing of some fantastic coats I was eyeballing. I will definitely be returning and spending my hard-earned money here! read more

Where exactly are people getting the idea that we have this incredible need for scores of novelty crap? Did a Spencer Gifts inventory list accidentally get mixed up with Economic Indicators? Oh well, if you're desperate to stock up on hilaaarious magnets, literary action figures, books on mullets, quirky stationery or other things of useless nature, this is another store you can do it at. At least Therapy is slightly better because the (nearly cloyingly Valencia St) staff is nice and at least they have a bunch of cute clothes and shoes too. Dudes should stop and shop here if they want to be cute. read more

I couldn't resist. My suitcase was going to explode after a visit to Therapy but how could I resist? I'm all for therapy but retail therapy? Yes! A bit more dangerous for my bank account but definitely more satisfying. Really great pieces...scratch that, I found some amazing pieces I absolutely adore...fair prices--think $50ish....I don't think I've been so tickled shopping ever after leaving. The sales people are sweet and always ready to help. I always leave with a smile. My new fav shop in Mission! read more

Sometimes when I walk through the mission I look around and whisper to myself.. "oh god.. I'm not nearly as fashionable as these girls". "Wtf, are those teal tights? Is that even okay to wear?" "Should we really all be wearing cut off shorts with the pockets showing from underneath?? REALLY??" Then I shake it off and don't care. I generally only wear dresses. I have an absurd amount of them too. This is what happens when your waist is small and your butt.. is not. Pants fit funny. Anyhow one day when I was experiencing the above mentioned thoughts, I walked into Therapy and peeked around. Therapy has an amazing selection of dresses that I absolutely loved. I grabbed at least 10 to try on and gleefully pranced to the fitting rooms. Emily and Kevin set up my room and as I was trying things on Emily knocked on the door with more dresses. She brought me dresses that were not out on the shopping floor yet. They matched the taste of the ones she saw me select but were even better! She wasn't pushy or annoying like some people in retail are. Both her and Kevin were friendly and fun and made me feel like a barbie. I'll just say that I left with 6 dresses and a pair of shoes. ... Then returned 2 weeks later and bought 5 more dresses and another pair of shoes. 2nd trip was just as pleasing except this time Deserae and another delightful person there (I forgot her name) helped me too. They were attentive and friendly even though the store was super busy. When I checked out they actually gave me a pair of sunglasses for free. How amazing is that? I don't know any other store that goes above and beyond in that way. To top it off I have received several compliments on my new dresses. :) I'll bring friends here to shop too. I'll still skip the mission girl teal tights and weird shorts though. Blick. read more

My girlfriend loves squirrels. And Therapy is SQUIRREL CENTRAL! They even have a stuffed tree stump you can shove squirrels in. Wheee! She's going to love the 12 squirrels I'm sending her. The stump will have to wait. The non-squirrely things are great too. I had my eye on two of the bags and a green winter coat. Next time! read more

I enjoy perusing everything in this store--from the obnoxious cards to hip but affordable clothing to the oversized, leather purses to the shoes and even items on carousels near the counter. What really prompted my review was that fact I found purse hangers (the metal thingies that you put on a table to hang your purse instead of using the back of a chair or behind your back (where it inevitably falls on the ground or if you hung your purse to one side of the back, the chair tips over when you get up to use the bathroom). Only $11.95--cute floral designs--AND with its own leather pocket carrier. Folds up neatly...length a biz card and a 1/3. SO handy. Used it that evening while dining at Range, seeing my purse suspended and secure made me just as happy as the food (seriously--food there was a bit rich for my tastes). Bought a pair of sunglasses for $12 and upon my request, sales person gladly cleaned it for me before handing them over at the register. I always make it a point to stop in this store when I'm in the area. Wait staff is cheery and helpful. read more

Therapy carries current Men & Women's clothing & accessories at prices that won't break the bank. There's tons & tons of color coded racks here, so you'll be sorting through the store for quite some time. I seem to always dig out a few things to try on & go home with a single item. They have cheesy trinkets like cat butt magnets, mullet gum, velvet gnomes, etc., so this could be a fun place for a gift. I dig the Yoshimoto Nara & Camille Rose Garcia items! The furniture store is also cool with their reasonably priced couches with interest free payment plans, mid-century inspired clocks & lamps, & flokati rugs. read more

I make a big purchase at Therapy somewhere between two and four times a year. Although some of their clothes tend to be a bit trendy for my taste, they carry some of my favorite brands, especially when it comes to the handbags and wallets, like Hobo and Tano. They have beautifully designed greeting cards, as well...I stocked up today when I stopped by for their 40% off sale (which they have every year right around the holidays- EVERYTHING in the store is 40% off!!!) and hung out for about two hours, no joke, just looking around at stuff! They're very hospitable and always let me take my time and mull over potential purchases, with no pressure to speak of (just sincere encouragement). The niceness of the staff really does make make me want to spend my $$$ there, though. My boyfriend knows the owner and he is a super chill guy, too. All and all, a great store run by a great group of people! There have several locations, too...I believe in San Luis Obispo, downtown Mountain View, and maybe a couple other stores between here and there. read more

I think 75% of my wardrobe and 100% of my dresses are from Therapy. Until recently it was my favorite shop EVER. I could walk in, pick everything in my size off the shelf, and BAM perfect. Almost everything cost $40-50, so I'd buy four items and leave $200 poorer. I little pricy, but justifiable. It was love. I came so often the (WONDERFUL) employees started remembering what I'd bought the last time I was there. Sadly, times have changed and Therapy has declined a bit since the beginning of 2012. The selection is smaller and...just not for me. I remain loyal though and come by frequently with the hope that the Therapy I knew and loved has returned. Fortunately, their shoe, bag, and jewelry collection is still thriving. read more

Love this store. The ladies are so helpful. They found the perfect dress for my 15 year old to wear to a wedding. Cutest dress for $40.00! They help you even if they know you are on a budget. The store has a great vibe and a mix of styles and prices. Be sure to ask for help. We would have never thought of the dress we ended up buying. They know their stuff. Customer service is a lost art, but Therapy still has it! Treat yourself , check them out. read more

Therapy has an impressive array of cardigans. Seriously, that's my favorite aspect of this shop, and there's quite a bit to like about it. I think I've bought at least half a dozen cardigans here over the years. Aside from this random attribute, I can report that: 1) Therapy carries Hobo handbags. Yummy colors, beautiful leather (I'm a bad vegetarian, sorry). 2) They have cool socks! I bought a comic book-themed pair the other day. 3) They have fun, random gifts of the stocking-stuffer variety. 4) The clothing overall is somewhat varied in style, and I typically don't like much of it. However, the cardigans make up for that! 5) They have an excellent name. Retail therapy, indeed. I've made Therapy a routine stop when I'm shopping in the Mission, and foresee many future cardigans purchased here. read more

SUPER COOL! excellent selection of knick knacks, wonderful clothes (for those with some fresh steez on a budget), kool kicks... i go whenever i am in the area!! need a cute dress for a party? therapy. need a sexy top for a date? therapy. wanna spend the dough that you don't have? therapy. read more

KEEP ME AWAY FROM THEIR JEWELRY CASE. It's all so pretty. With that said, I have two separate opinions of this store: Their designer high end stuff is amazing and priced accordingly. They have very good sales as well. However, the lower end stuff is priced a tad too high for what I've seen it go for elsewhere. I totally understand that high overhead has a lot to do with it, blah blah blah, but in the age of skeptical consumerism the people in charge of this place should really double check their pricing methods. It sucks when you see a pair of earrings for $15 that you've seen for $5 at another store cause from then on you can't get that out of your head. Whatever they're doing seems to be working, even after all of that I still come back and spend my meager paycheck here from time to time. read more

I had the BEST shopping experience at Therapy today! I usually don't like shopping for clothes, but this store has an excellent selection to choose from, and their customer service was AWESOME. There were 3 associates who were attentive, helpful, and super friendly (I hate those sales associates who make you feel like you're wasting their time, but these ladies were the exact opposite of that; they made ME feel like I was the cool one!). Also, one of them (Shelby, I think) pulled a dress for me that she thought I'd like and slipped it in my fitting room- ended up being my favourite purchase of the day! So, to sum it up: awesome customer service, super friendly, and they have great taste! :D read more

I am been kicked out by the store manager (Nika) last week. She said I have frequent visits to store (which every single business wants), and it bothers her.I had considerable spending at this store but it was a total frustration and shock for me.I am a customer and she can't kick me out! I hope next time I visit this store, she's not gonna be there! read more

I've been to their Mountain View location by chance and picked up their business card and noticed that they have several locations in the city as well. Can't seem to really find anything that is of fancy and some of the clothes cut or fit strange. Variety of different tops, dresses, skirts, some can be trendy and grunch looking but others are a lil more conservative sweater like tops. I've seen other girls trying out their items and looked great but out of a bunch of items, I've noticed most either had no luck or just end up buying one item. read more

As a bargain shopper, Therapy disappoints. But I don't really think that's the purpose of the store. I do love all of their clothes, just wish I didn't have to portion out a large chunk of my paycheck to shop there. I've always liked their accessories and doodads. Which are reasonable and amusing. GREAT purse selection. And the sales staff has always been super nice. So it's cool, but eh, too many people, not enough deals. Approach Therapy with reservation. read more

Favorite clothing store in San Francisco. The location is really good, right in the heart of the mission and the store in itself is very pretty and spatious. As many reviewers pointed out before, it's like a mix between Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie only cheaper. They have a wide selection of cheap and stylish clothes as well as accessories and little gadgets. If you are looking for a gift under 20$ for a girlfriend, come here you will have many options in the jewellery and book part of the store. They get new things in all the time, so stop by often :) The ladies are very nice and helpful. They will tell you if something doesn't look nice on you. Appreciate the honesty ;) They also have a really nice selection of shoes. Small tip however you can usually find the shoes they sell online for 20 or 30$ less than the Therapy price read more

Dude, how in the world have I not reviewed this place??! It's my neighborhood Hipster Survival Kit. Snarky t-shirt collection? Check. Jesus Action Figure? Check. Cat Butt magnets? Check. Suicide Girls book I can oogle and pass it off as admiring art? Check. Personally, I just think it's a lot of fun to come in here. I get all of my greeting cards for my family here to solidify the fact that I am the weird one who moved to San Fran (I am now pretentious enough that I hate that moniker). They don't have a whole lot in the way of guys clothing, but if you pop in now and again you can score some pretty good stuff. I got a great jacket on sale here that I really like. Filled with Blue Q novelties and strange art books, this is a great place to kill an hour or so on a Saturday afternoon. read more

In the past, Therapy has been way overpriced for my taste, but I love their stuff. So, I would often go in to window shop and get ideas. But, more recently they've added an overflowing "sale" rack, which I love and have bought many favorites from, including Kensie clothes, which I adore. The other thing I get here again and again is earrings. The last time I went in I got a great pair of golden circular dangly earrings for $26. Very nice. read more

J'adore Therapy! This ain't no ordinary boutique. You can tell that Therapy carefully selects each and every one of the items they sell. There's no half assing here! Therapy has everything you need: Adorable threads for the ladies and stylish 'fits for the gents. Cute boots & flats. Lovely clutches & wallets. Sassy cards & books. Cute rings & necklaces. Hot watches for the boys. All kinds of knick knacks, stationary, and wrapping paper. Purses & hats galore. And if you're looking for a place to pimp out your pad, hop next door to their sister store where they have modern, sexy couches, rugs, clocks, frames, candles, wall decorations, end tables, coffee tables, etc. Not only is their store chock full of cool stuff, but their customer service is way up to par. The girls who were helping us were knowledgeable about their products and were more than happy to call their other store locations to have a dress delivered to SF for me! They were all really sweet and most definitely knew what superb customer service is all about! Prices are reasonable and its location is prime, situated right by Bar Tartine. =] Come here if you're looking for something to treat yourself to or are wanting to score a gift for a friend, bf, or sibling. p.s. They have other Therapy locations in San Luis Obispo, Mountain View, and Burlingame. read more

Therapy is hands down my favorite small boutique store. I even introduced it to a friend and she ended up working there cause she loved it too! This particular location is always busy in the Mission and I am super sad to see that they closed their furniture store next door- probably due to some crazy rent increase. I know no matter what I need- whether it's a dress for a party or some funky gifts for friends, that I'll be able to find something here. Also, if they don't have it in your size, they'll find it at another location and bring it in with no commitment. Talk about great customer service! read more

This is an excellent place to find high-quality furniture pieces with just the right modern touch. That is, they are quite stylish but not so uber-modern that you will have to redo your home in a couple of years. The goods here were made for enduring taste rather than simply trendiness. We bought our sofa from Therapy and found the service to be friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. They have a delivery referral that is very good and reasonably priced. read more
