Therapy

Good store with a vast selection of items. Lots of stuff that would make a good white elephant gift or things of that sort. Small spaces to walk through and a small group or two could make this place feel cramped. We were in the store 30 minutes and no one offered to help us but when we checked out they were very nice.

Love this place. Everything in here seem hand curated and fits perfectly in this little shop.
I love walking through the store and checking out each and every little nook and cranny. It’s so easy to find something in here, it’s almost dangerous (at least to my wallet).
Definitely stop by and check it out if you are on an afternoon shopping spree on Burlingame Ave!

super cute store in burlingame! this is a bay area franchise that also has locations in mountain view, los altos, and campbell (and east bay, i believe), and each location has a slightly different set of offerings. whether you’re shopping for a housewarming gift, a birthday person, your significant other, or just yourself, this is the perfect place to browse and shop. they have an awesome selection of shoes, dresses, hand bags and accessories towards the back, and it can easily be a fashionista’s paradise!
i picked up a cute headband accessory the other day and plan to wear it as part of a costume for a themed cocktail hour later in the week. the gals working there were super friendly and helpful in giving me suggestions for costumes. it’s a good thing b/​c i know so little about fashion, and even less when it comes to finding an outfit for a themed event.
you can park along the streets by the meters, or in the city lots, or if you don’t mind walking a few extra blocks, park closer to bayswater/​peninsula where the street parking is free!

Such a cute boutique with a lot of nifty items, I make it a must to come here whenever I am in the area.

OMG, what a great store with the best people-​Desiree, Sara, and Jessica!
I get in trouble every time I go, good trouble. Great purses-​hobo leather, nice earrings, and a cool jadite bracelet in copper… great place for gifts!

I have always loved this shop. I still do. I will return to spend more money there. I have teenage kids. It’s not easy keeping them on a straight and narrow path until their frontal lobes are fully evolved-​science has said that’s around age 25, but recently upped it to 27… super. That being said, I find it ironic that the Burlingame store had a shelf devoted to pot. A shop called therapy. Therapy usually infers that one deals head on with their issues, but they promote pot. Pot coasters, pot ashtray, cotton mouth mints, pot cupcake liners, etc. I have an open mind. I have a super sense of humor. But I know who shops on Burlingame Ave. It’s lots of women with school aged children who tag along with them. The local high schoolers hang out there all the time. As a mom… I would not be happy to find these items eye level on a shelf in the middle of a store my kids would likely find delightful to shop in (lots of neat things besides pot items). Until marijuana is legalized for those without a pot card I don’t see the point of selling these items in stores. Pot is not legal in Calif. without a medical card. Why attempt to normalize it before it’s legal? Burlingame is a family oriented city. I think it shows poor taste and lack of respect for the young people of today to promote it as if using these items is «cool.» I am fully aware that pot is everywhere and that I am acting like it’s a lethal drug. I believe that pot is far less harmful than alcohol, but I don’t see beer bottle muffin cups or beer bottle ashtrays, or wine flavored breath mints in stores. And I don’t want to. I can go to Bev Mo for my alcohol accessories and pot smokers can easily get a card and keep their business limited to pot clubs. I wish Therapy wouldn’t promote illegal activities in shops that allow children under 21 to enter. I’m disappointed. Until pot is legal it very much is a big deal. Please don’t glamorize an illegal substance around our youth. Kids are impressionable and even a store display can chip away at the values and beliefs parents work hard to instill. It takes a village to raise our children and that includes Burlingame village.

This place is fantastic and definitely provided a bit of a therapy break for me :)
I came here on a whim before heading into a work related assignment nearby, and really didn’t anticipate on walking out with anything. It was a few little cute home décor items peaking through the window that initially drew me in. Little did I know upon entering, that they not only provide some cool little home accessories/​knick knacks, but they also provide a quite excellent selection of some stylish quality clothes.
I was immediately impressed with the outstanding colors of the clothes provided; unique classic colors that are hard to come by. I was drawn to several different tops that called to me, but what specifically called my name, was a forest green, beautifully well made, short sleeve sweater top. Form fitting and just beautiful. I tried it on and it fit perfectly! Woo hoo! It was priced $ 52.00 and well worth it.
The service I received from the girl working here this day was Phenomenal! Warm, welcoming, and extremely accommodating.
Can’t wait for my next therapy session)

This place is a wonderland of little knick knacks and cool random stuff. It’s in the heart of downtown Burlingame. I bought a pair of druzy earrings there that I am completely obsessed with. The first time I wore them, my friend made me take them off so she could look at them more closely. I also bought a bottle of rich, luscious lotion that even my hubby loves to use. The saleswoman was super nice and friendly and suggested things for me to look at. Great experience!

It’s my favorite shop above I moved in burlingame !
They have so many things inside !!
Candle, decoration, clothes etc … I love it. The staff is lovely and the prices are ok.
For you or for a gift you will always find the perfect thing !!
I really recommend it !!

I love this store! I’ve recently became a frequent shopper at this location and I love how welcoming the girls at this store are :) There’s a great sales gal, Q, (needless to say all the sale gals are pretty great) who is awesome at helping you shop and just having a great convo with! I used to work in retail and I know how frustrating it is when salespeople follow you or bother you with questions. However, it’s not like that at all at this store. It’s super relaxed with great clothes, accessories, small home items, and a positive vibe! Another plus, dogs are welcomed!

I was surprised there was a Therapy outside San Francisco, all along I thought it was a local mom and pop which I have been a patron for probably a decade now.
This one has the same vibe, staff are extremely nice like the ones in SF.
Got great clothing and knick knack collections which I come for.
If you need extra ordinary gifts, go check this place out.

I love stopping in this little Therapy spot as I walk around Burlingame Ave. Though I don’t usually buy the little knick knacks, it’s fun to look through. There’s cards, purses, jewelry, seasonal gifts and all sorts of random fun.
The clothes vary in prices and styles. And it’s helpful that the clothes are organized by colors, makes looking through the racks fun! The last few times I was at Therapy I bought cute dresses — floral and bright colors, perfect for summer. And the cute dresses were only around $ 40!
There’s dressing rooms to try the clothes. And though I’ve never come across this problem, each time I’ve been there, the sales people are always helping customers find a size for them even if it requires them calling their other branches and sending it over.
Love Therapy.

Love me some Therapy ;)
They carry it all; men’s, women’s, kids, little knick knacks, accessories, greeting cards, fun gifts, everything but the kitchen sink.
I went there today (03÷18÷14) and the 2 ladies working were absolutely wonderful. They helped me try on a few items and were so helpful and sweet. I initially purchased a colorful, flowy, sleeveless top ($ 43), and after a few drinks down the street went back and purchased another coral colored, knit top ($ 32) lol.
In any case got 2 gorgeous tops that I absolutely adore while putting about half the store on my wishlist.
Therapy is one of my favorite stores on Burlingame Ave!

The young women who work in the store are always very friendly. Great selection of quirky goods, and you always feel welcome when you shop there.

My husband has bought me many gifts over the years from Therapy which I have always enjoyed. They have a wide array of fun things from reasonably priced jewelry to cool novelty gifts and hip clothes.
However BEWARE OF BUYING CHRISTMAS GIFTS HERE as their exchange policy is only 14 days. They do not do refunds under any circumstance, which I can understand to some degree, but a 14 day exchange policy is short when it comes to holiday gifts.
I wanted to exchange two items that didn’t fit properly, but I wrongly presumed they had a 30 day exchange policy. When I went to retrieve the gift receipt to make the exchange today, I noticed the 14 day policy. (The gifts were purchased on 12 – 23)
When I called the store to verify that their policy really was indeed only 14 days, the salesperson said that because they are a family owned business and not a corporation that they do things differently. I found this reasoning a bit empty as Therapy isn’t a «Small Mom-​and-​Pop Shop» considering they have 10 stores in some of the most popular boutique-​filled Downtown shopping streets in the Bay Area — San Francisco, Burlingame, Mountain View, Campbell, Los Altos, Pleasanton and Berkeley.
There’s Over-​Delivering, the Norm, and then there’s Under-​Whelming. Zappos, with their 365 day return policy gets noteworthy buzz for providing awesome customer service. Most stores do a 30 day return/​exchange policy, but 14 days is uncommon. Given that it’s unusual, I suggest every time a customer asks for gift receipt during the holiday season that the salesperson emphasize the return policy so the purchaser can in turn point it out to the gift recipient. Either that or do a 30 day return policy during December.
Disappointed that the gifts will go unused…

A modern day wonder shop located on charming shopping area of Burlingame. You’ll be cute-​ing everything on these fully stocked shelves. A person like myself can end up spending hours looking at the nicks knacks and distinctive fashion pieces here. But I was on a time restraint since I was browsing with my girlfriends. As for girlfriends everywhere, they are your cheerleaders and will «rah rah rah sis umbra» you into buying all things frivolous. I don’t need it but just want it.
I ended up buying a $ 8 contact lens holder in a shape of a nerdy black eyeglasses and a $ 6 owl eyes contact lens holder. Cheesy, don’t need, goods. Just what I want, right?! Exactly!
Customer service was excellent and the cashier knows how to make small talk of drinking mimosa’s in the afternoon. She even provided tips on how to get more booze into your mimosas at a restaurant located next to Therapy shop. :)
This is not a store to be missed, be sure to pop in to buy frivolous items, like ME!

Bah! This place is dangerous. I discovered this Therapy location and spent 3 hours there trying on their adorable sweaters and dresses. I ended up spending a sh**tload of money because their customer service is fantastic and their clothing is unique and fits well. Plus, they had plenty of stuff to entertain my poor boyfriend, who lets me drag him there on the weekends. My only wish is that they have slightly lower prices so that I have enough money left to buy groceries…
Other goodies they have include tees, jeans, cardis, jackets, purses, and hilarious knick knacks. I feel better supporting this small chain of boutiques than a pretentious, overpriced Urban Outfitters filled with booty sweater shorts. Come here because it stays true to its name — this store is my therapy!

One of my favorite retail spots in the Bay in general. Perfect for picking up lil odds and ends for yourself/​as a gift.

Such a funky little store. Lots of gag stuff and accessories. Great place to get some party things or funny gifts. I can browse in here for hrs and always find something interesting.

Avi, the owner, messaged me and offered to pay for the alterations to my top, which I checked the receipt and it was $ 26. With alterations it was $ 34, but unfortunately Primrose Cleaners/​Alterations didn’t provide an itemized receipt. More to come on those folks later this week…
They also offered 20% off a future purchase so I could see what quality merchandise they do sell in the store.
Very thoughtful, indeed.
