My name is Randy Weled, and I have been helping people with these issues for
18 years. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Francisco.  My
office is located in downtown San Francisco, in the historic Flood building.

I specialize in the recovery issues for compulsive sexuality,  substance abuse,
and debting. With the use of talk, art, movement, dream and drama therapy, I help
individuals find answers to their problems within themselves.

I have extensive training in process-oriented psychology.  I studied with Arnold
Mindell, who uses this approach to deal with deep-seated conflicts, in
individuals, families, and in larger communities.

The main concept of process work is that all parts of conflict need to have a
voice, no matter how unpopular. In this way, finding a common thread and
communication is possible.

Using a process-oriented approach, I help clients create stable relationships
through seeing life from different points of vies. Investigating a client's "personal
pathology", especially in couples counseling, reveals that no one lives in a
vacuum and that others suffer similar feelings.

I specialize in "inner child" work, and process through role-play to help clients
work on their issues. Switching roles often reveals a resolution to the problem.
Role reversal is an effective way of relieving anxiety about stressful situations

I offer clients my experience of successful outcomes with couples of all gender
affiliations. Although I am male-identified and gay, I work with many women and
lesbian couples. About 50 percent of my clients are heterosexual.

My partner and I lead workshops on "Power Dynamics in Relationship." This is a
revolutionary way to look at the ways individual and cultural power can
unconsciously hurt partners. The dynamics are very similar for heterosexual
couples as well as queer couples, so the workshops are open to all.

I invite you to read more about my approaches on various issues in these pages .
If you feel I can help, I look forward to working with you.
