Maryam Kazi
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in grief, trauma, attachment, and relationship patterns. I work with adults who may feel stuck in people pleasing, difficult relationships, unresolved grief, or patterns they understand intellectually but struggle to change.
In our work together, I bring warmth, respect, and lived understanding—meeting you wherever you are with care and curiosity, and holding space for who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
My goal is to help you better understand yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.
First session
Your first session is about getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. I will ask about what has been happening, what feels most difficult right now, and what you would like to change. You do not need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We will begin identifying your goals together, and you will have an opportunity to see whether you feel comfortable with me and my approach.
Strengths
I bring warmth, curiosity, honesty, and compassion into the therapy room. I am not a therapist who simply sits back and nods. I ask thoughtful questions, notice patterns, and gently challenge you when it may help you see something differently. I balance deeper emotional work with practical tools and believe there is room for humor, authenticity, and real conversation in therapy.
Ideal clients
As a licensed therapist in California and Nevada, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My approach centers on empowering clients to develop resilience, self-compassion, and effective coping strategies. With extensive experience addressing diverse concerns including workplace stress, social anxiety, relationship dynamics, and women's mental health, I create a supportive environment that honors each person's unique journey.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.
