Hello, I’m Ritika Kaur, a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (License #101199). In my psychotherapy practice, I provide a compassionate, client-centered environment where healing can begin. I draw from a variety of integrative and eclectic methods tailored to each individual’s needs, helping you navigate difficult transitions and achieve a greater sense of well-being. My path into the mental health field began with a simple goal to help people navigate hard times and find fulfillment. After earning my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from National University in 2011, I spent several years working in community mental health. This role gave me valuable experience in providing evidence-based care to a wide range of individuals. I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California in 2017, and I remain dedicated to helping my clients build resilience and well-being. I support clients facing mild to moderate mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and major life transitions. What I Support: Mild depression and anxiety, Family and parenting stress, Relationship and work challenges, Grief and life transitions. During our initial meeting, we will discuss your specific needs. If I determine that your situation requires support outside my area of expertise, I will provide you with referrals and recommendations to ensure you receive the care you need. While I am happy to support you in other ways, I do not provide disability documentation, medical leave paperwork, or ESA letters. If you require these specific forms or legal documentation, I recommend consulting with a provider who specializes in those assessments. For new clients: Please ensure all intake documents are completed prior to our session. Failure to confirm or complete paperwork will result in cancellation and referral to another provider. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a smooth start to our work together.
During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and collaborate to establish your personal goals. I will gather relevant background information and answer any questions you may have. Most importantly, we will begin building the trust and rapport essential for a productive therapeutic relationship.
My communication style is warm, collaborative, and focused on your unique needs and goals. I aim to create a safe space where you feel heard, validated, and supported. Together, we will work to develop effective coping skills and find solutions tailored to your situation.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship problems, life transitions and stress. I am also experienced in addressing behavioral issues, parenting challenges, and providing support during pregnancy.
