Are you struggling with what's on your plate, whether you are doing "what you are supposed to be doing," or feeling like an imposter at times? Are you transitioning into a new phase, or ready to do something different? Are you feeling urgency to finally do the inner work so you can live in alignment with your innermost desires and values? If so, I look forward to connecting with you.
I can help you process and move through what’s holding you back right now from flourishing. Let’s work together to manage anxiety, low self esteem, depression, and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working, help you find more clarity, and figure out what will serve you.
Seeking therapy can feel scary but you are making the right choice. Give yourself permission to take this time for yourself. You deserve a space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the challenges that have brought you here. Let's work together!
I use a variety of therapy styles and tailor my approach to your needs. Mindfulness, connecting to creativity, and a culturally informed social-justice lens also inform my practice and are important to me.
I often assign homework between sessions. These might look like exercises or activities to engage in, or prompts to consider and reflect upon.
I want for you to feel heard, understood, and validated. At the same time, know that I will challenge you when it is appropriate, and encourage you to experiment with doing things differently than you may have done before.
Relief and healing is possible, change and flourishing is possible, but not without effort on your part. Therapy is about getting the support you need, while learning ways to cope, recover, grow, and thrive.

Here we are.
I am honored to take a journey toward health, wellness and spiritual growth with you. The path toward wellness begins daily, we get to do this, and we do not have to do it alone. There is not a human on this planet that is without wounds. What may have started as coping or a mechanism for survival may no longer serve us today? The old narrative that is driven by fear may be impeding our ability to have transformative relationships, a rewarding and exciting career and the mind-body connection that we desire.
Let’s go on a retrieval toward the life you would like to engage in. Let’s identify the areas where there is struggle and challenge. Let’s understand the root with nonjudgment and compassion. Let us live fully with the realization that life will always happen on life’s terms.
Let's begin again.

I’m Manisha Chulani, LMFT, and I additionally hold a PPS credential for my training as a School Psychologist. As a woman from a minority background (South Asian descent, born in Hong Kong) my clinical style is gentle, compassionate, and culturally competent. My previous professional experience working at a youth suicide hotline was when I developed my passion for helping others, and soon realized what a powerful catalyst for growth and healing I would become. My clinical work as a therapist has brought me extensive experience working in both clinical and educational settings. I provide client-centered, depth-oriented therapy. I use imagery such as dreams and images to tap into the subconscious. I also incorporate art into my sessions, as it allows creativity and more direct access to the subconscious.
Whether you struggle with depression and/or anxiety or are feeling stuck in your life (or in your relationship), I am here to offer you support to feel better and make valuable changes. Therapy is a process of growth and discovery. If you want things to change, it will be necessary to start doing things differently. I am here to offer my therapeutic guidance, providing you with powerful tools for emotional and behavioral transformation as you find your way back to your happiness, as you take a deep look inward and become what you are.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of California and I have been practicing since 2001. I graduated from the School of Social Work at Columbia University in the City of New York and have experience working with children and families, adolescents, transitional youth, young adults, elder adults, men, women, LGBTQ+, and the justice-involved.
In this day and age, so many of us are bombarded with the day-to-day and simply living blindly, meaninglessly. So many tend to suppress and ignore just to survive. If you are experiencing a crossroads presently and wish to get out of being stuck, if you want to improve your relationships with your loved ones, or if you just want to be able to process safely and receive genuine and practical feedback, you may want to consider scheduling a therapy session with me.

My role is to assist you in your path to change by improving your sense of self. This includes developing an awareness of your ideas, feelings, and actions, which serves as the foundation for forming new habits and encouraging healthy self-talk about change. The key to lasting change is building these practices into your routine. Practice them regularly, tweak them as you go, and gradually, they'll become second nature.
