Who Claude named
The first week we asked, so there is nothing to compare with yet. Ranked by how many answers named them, then by how early.

Word for word
The full answers
“Can you recommend a good therapist in San Francisco for anxiety?”
I couldn't verify reviews or whether any individual therapist is still open and taking clients. My searches only returned directory listings. So I can't point you to one specific "best" therapist. I can tell you what to look for and where to start.
Places to start looking - Therapy Den's San Francisco CBT directory lists therapists who offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). That is the best-studied approach for anxiety. Some of the listed therapists say they focus on anxiety, perfectionism and overthinking. Examples are Chiaki Sasaki, PsyD, and Interactive Mind Counseling. Check that they are currently accepting clients before you get your hopes up. - Psychology Today's therapist finder lets you filter by San Francisco, "Anxiety," your insurance, and telehealth. - UCSF has psychiatry and anxiety programs. I couldn't confirm their current details, so check their site directly.
How to choose - Look for a licensed professional: a psychologist (PhD or PsyD), LMFT, LCSW, or psychiatrist. You can check a license on the California Board of Behavioral Sciences or Board of Psychology website. - Ask about their training in CBT, exposure therapy (ERP), or ACT. These are the evidence-based options for anxiety. - Book a free 15-minute consult with two or three therapists. Fit matters a lot. - Confirm fees, insurance or sliding scale, and whether they offer telehealth.
If you tell me your insurance, budget, and whether you prefer in-person or online sessions, I can narrow this down. If you're in crisis, call or text 988.

How we ask
Method
Once a week we ask Claude (Anthropic's assistant) the same fixed questions a person in each city might type, with web search turned on and set to that city, and we ask it to check the web before it answers. We use Claude's API, the version developers build on, so an answer in the Claude app on your phone can differ. These answers were asked the week of Nov 9, 2026.
We show what Claude said, word for word, and count who it named. Besides the question, we ask Claude only to check current information and to list the businesses it named at the end of its answer, which is how we count them. We don't rank anyone ourselves, nobody pays to appear, and our own clients get no special treatment: if a competitor of theirs is named, it's on the list.
AI answers can be wrong. Claude can name a business that has closed or misdescribe one, and we haven't checked each name. Treat this as a record of what Claude says, not a recommendation from Kalydron.
