LMFT, 14 years of experience
Hi, I’m Kamisha — a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Sex Therapist based in California. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals, creatives, and leaders navigate anxiety, burnout, depression, relationship stress, and major life transitions — all while maintaining the demands of a full and busy life. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space to slow down, release the pressure, and reconnect with your own voice. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed yet “high-functioning,” stuck yet deeply self-aware, and ready to create lasting change that aligns with their values. I provide individual therapy for adults with a focus on: Anxiety, stress, and burnout Mild to moderate depression Career changes, relocations, and other life transitions Relationship challenges for those in monogamous or consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships Emotional wellness and identity exploration My style is collaborative, warm, and direct — blending narrative therapy and trauma-informed care to help you unpack old narratives and create new ones that feel freeing, empowering, and true to you. I approach therapy with cultural awareness, sex-positivity, and deep respect for the complexity of your lived experiences. If you’re ready to prioritize your mental health, set boundaries that stick, and create a life that feels authentic, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s start where you are — and move toward where you want to be.
In our first therapy session, we’ll focus on building a connection and creating a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space. I’ll invite you to share what brought you to therapy, the challenges you’re currently facing, and what you’d like to explore — whether that’s managing anxiety or depression, navigating burnout, coping with a life transition, or working through relationship stress. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable — there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. This initial session is also your opportunity to get a feel for my therapy style and see if it’s the right fit for you. We’ll discuss what you can expect from working together, outline how sessions might look going forward, and begin identifying your goals or intentions for therapy, even if they’re still taking shape. Above all, my priority is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported, so you can begin the work of healing, self-discovery, and personal growth — at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re seeking clarity, relief, or a deeper understanding of yourself, this is the first step toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is creating a space where you feel both deeply understood and gently challenged. I bring a warm, grounded presence to therapy, paired with a direct and culturally aware approach that helps you explore difficult emotions without fear of judgment. My focus is on helping high-functioning adults slow down, connect with their inner world, and make meaningful changes in how they relate to themselves and others. With a background in sex therapy and narrative therapy, I specialize in supporting clients through relationship stress, identity exploration, emotional resilience, and major life transitions. I work with individuals navigating complex relationship dynamics — whether in monogamous or consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships — as well as those processing the impact of past experiences on present patterns. Clients often share that they value my ability to name the unspoken, hold space for complexity, and help them see the connections in their own story. Whether you’re seeking clarity in relationships, relief from anxiety, depression, or burnout, or simply a place to process life’s challenges, my goal is to help you move toward a more grounded, authentic, and fulfilling life.
I work best with high-functioning adults who are living with purpose yet quietly carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, burnout, or work-related stress. You may appear confident and composed on the outside, but inside you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about your next steps. My clients often come to therapy because they are: Balancing demanding careers while feeling the drain of chronic stress or burnout Navigating major life transitions such as career changes, breakups, or relocations, and wanting a safe space to process it all Managing relationship stress in monogamous or consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships Exploring their emotional patterns, communication style, or the impact of past experiences on present relationships Not in acute crisis, but committed to intentional, growth-focused therapy You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to start therapy. Sometimes what you need most is a space where you can pause, be fully seen, and explore what truly matters to you. Together, we can help you feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your next chapter.
Narrative Therapy is a powerful approach I’ve integrated deeply into my practice to help clients explore and reshape the stories they tell about themselves. With years of experience guiding individuals through this process, I help clients uncover the narratives that influence their emotions, behaviors, and relationships — especially those shaped by culture, identity, and past experiences. In therapy, I use Narrative Therapy to: Support clients in identifying limiting or harmful stories they’ve internalized Explore how these stories impact their self-esteem, relationships, and life choices Empower clients to rewrite their narratives in ways that reflect their values, strengths, and aspirations Honor clients’ cultural backgrounds and intersecting identities by contextualizing their stories within larger social and systemic influences This approach is especially effective for adults navigating identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions, as it allows for meaningful insight and transformative change. Narrative Therapy aligns with my belief that you are the expert of your own life — and together, we can co-create a new story that feels authentic, empowering, and healing.
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients effectively manage anxiety and work-related stress. CBT is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to overwhelm, burnout, and worry. In therapy, I use CBT techniques to: Challenge and reframe anxious thoughts that fuel stress and self-doubt Develop personalized coping strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve focus Teach skills for emotion regulation, relaxation, and problem-solving under pressure Support sustainable behavior changes that promote balance between work, relationships, and self-care This approach is ideal for high-functioning adults who want practical tools to reduce anxiety and regain control over their mental health — all while maintaining their busy professional and personal lives.

Just had my first session. After talking things through I felt heard and understood. I feel we will be able to get to root cause and developing good coping tools. I appreciate Kamisha’s ability to relate.
