Mariah Larkin, CA LMFT 27311

I have a warm, interactive style working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I am highly trained and experienced (30 years licensed) in helping you create an authentic life in which you are comfortable being who you are and live a successful life. I have helped many folks in alternative and creative lifestyles, and a specialty in male psychology.
My approach
I utilize a few approaches depending on your therapeutic needs. I have been trained in both Eastern and Western psychologies while obtaining my doctorate at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I can work longer term to explore the unconscious roots of your issues using dreams and Jungian psychology. We can work short term using Brainspotting, Music Imagery Therapy, and cognitive tools like CBT for healing trauma and PTSD. If you need to change unsatisfying relationship patterns, I have had great training in that area as well. Meditation has been important in my life, and I can teach you how to integrate spiritual and metaphysical resources for peace and continued growth.
My focus
I create a safe empathic space for you to talk freely, trust yourself, and process feelings of grief and stress, and expansiveness.
My communication style
I invite truthfulness with each other and provide a compassionate and loving presence to support you through life’s challenges. I teach psycho-spiritual tools to bring with you outside of our session.
My journey to mental healthcare
I will share my journey in the sessions as appropriate.
My first session with you
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.
