I was looking for a therapist to do trauma work, and I am glad I found Dr. Chacko. He is an honest, compassionate clinician who has provided the exact therapy I needed to process painful memories and progress. He has gone the extra mile on numerous occasions, and I am always grateful for his help and support. Additionally, he has been mindful of the constraints that the pandemic places on his services and his flexibility has been greatly appreciated.

I'm a combat veteran and Dr Chacko has helped me immensely with psychotherapy to help me with my anxiety. He's super veteran friendly as he is a former veteran himself, and is able to really understand my needs really well because of that. I'm so glad that I found him!

Dr. Chacko responded to my response within 15 minutes late in the evening. He is very accommodating and it's clear from the first conversation that he cares about helping the patient. Thank you for your willingness to help me, especially coming to you without insurance.

I find Dr. Andrew Chacko professional and efficient. He was quick in responding to my nephew's call of help. He gave him an appointment the following day. Over the weeks my nephew has improved in being mindful and accountable with his actions. After every session, he left the clinic with a clear mind and vision. He is happy and content. I 'm happy to see him with a great attitude and we owe that to Dr. Chacko's excellent and effective therapy!

Worked with Dr. Chacko for over a year on my ADD and completely changed how I was doing in life. He's patient and tailors each session to whatever is going on in your life at the moment. Can not recommend him higher. Was struggling post college adapting and over a year later things have completely turned around. Thanks Dr. Chacko!

Dr. Chacko is a doctor who truly takes the time to get to know his patients. As a nurse, I was taught how important it is to nurture my own mental health in order to provide the best care for my own patients. I wanted to find a therapist who would allow me to express all of my concerns, questions and worries in a safe place without feeling judged or criticized. By chance, I happened upon Dr. C, and am so thankful that I did.During our initial phone assessment, he went above and beyond in making me feel at ease and prepared for our first face to face appointment. While some therapists push medications in order to mask symptoms, Dr C. is willing to put the extra effort into not only understanding the patient's issues, but teaching alternative techniques that I had never learned before. I am now able to take those skills with me along this journey through life as I continue to grow and heal. He never once made me feel shamed in my actions that I took following my trauma. By feeling fully supported, I was able to open up about my past traumas; some so long ago that I wasn't even aware they were affecting me so deeply still. I am so grateful that I found Dr C, and look forward to continuing on a path towards continued healing with him.

Dr. Chacko is a great therapist. He is compassionate, authentic, and knowledgeable. I enjoy working with him in our sessions

Great Doctor very knowledgeable about decision making in critical situation and always have alternative. Highly recommended to consult before making big decision. In situation where I almost lost a job, I consulted with him and change the outcomes.

As a psychologist who practices in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, there are times when for one reason or another I need to refer somebody out to psychiatry rather than having them see one of our practice's physicians. It's complicated, but suffice to say that when these situations occur it is critical that I have full faith and trust that the psychiatrist to whom I referred my patients will not drop the ball.On my incredibly short list of psychiatrists in private practice in the bay area to whom I will entrust the sharing of my damn near sacred doctor-patient relationship, Dr. Chacko is pretty much my entire list. Whether I'm working with a male or a female, a veteran or civilian, a heterosexual or member of the LGBT community, someone with mild moderate or more intense mental health issues, I know that Dr. Chacko will intuitively know how to read the situation and respond effectively. I know that my patient will feel connected in a very human capacity, will feel safe and secure, will feel that they are being treated as a human being and not a quick prescriptive in and out.If I would trust Dr. Chacko with my patients, would refer my own family and friends to him, would see him myself if I were in need of a psychiatric work up, I feel that is the best endorsement I could offer a colleague, and feel very fortunate that we have the ability to collaborate in patient care.
