Greetings! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I graduated from San Francisco State University with an M.S. in Counseling Psychology. I have recently been certified by the Cognitive Behavioral Institute to offer ERPT (Exposure Response Prevention Therapy for OCD). I have over 20 years of experience working with a very diverse range of folks (women, men, the LGBTQ community, those living with HIV,People of Color, those dealing with substance issues). I enjoy working with people who are seeking a caring, compassionate, understanding person who listens and offers a hand up while they battle back against depression and anxiety. I also enjoy supporting people who are struggling with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and employ a powerful tool (Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy) that is clinically shown to greatly reduce OCD symptoms.

My approach draws on psychoanalytic thinking, which revolves on one central idea: much of what we think and feel remains outside of our awareness.
Sometimes we keep powerful feelings hidden so we can continue moving through the day, or we simply cannot find time to reflect on everything that is happening to us.
In any case, keeping these potent experiences hidden may leave us feeling stiff, dreary, unfulfilled, or even numb and dull.

My ideal client is someone who needs help reaching their highest potential and decrease emotional suffering. They should be ready and willing to begin receiving guidance on how to reach their peak. I believe in self-determination and that individuals can find solutions with the right support.
I offer a person centered approach that relies on the client's self-determination. I am experienced working those with dual diagnosis, mood disorders, and anxiety compassionately to help them manage symptoms.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have more questions. I am always willing to answer questions to make sure my services are a good fit.

Hello. I went to school in Humboldt County & Sacramento & now live in the SF Bay Area. I’ve been practicing for 8 years with 150+ clients with various backgrounds & experiences. Some have goals of processing traumas and others simply want to elevate their self esteem or set goals for their lives. I’ve found that talk therapy is very effective when we work together to see how to improve your overall quality of life.

Have you recently experienced loss and heartache, and feel like you are struggling to pick up the pieces of your heart and your life?
Do you feel like you are "called" to more; however, feel like you are "stuck" or in a transition where you are unclear about your identity, purpose, and path?
Hi, I am Kelisha and I am passionate about empowering, equipping, and encouraging people to walk in the fullness of healing, breakthrough, and transformation. Helping people heal is more than just a career choice, it is my calling, and I infuse my clinical skills, intuition, and wisdom to guide people in the many seasons and transitions of their lives. Together, we will tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs so that you can leave the session experiencing change and growth from the inside out.
In therapy, we will use a whole self approach, addressing the unique needs of your body, mind, and spirit. In our sessions, we will integrate somatic and psychodynamic work, spirituality, cognitive behavioral tools, and narrative work as a way of honoring your unique and personal journey of self. We will draw from your unique strengths and gifts so that you can heal and grow and move more fully toward your full, authentic, and integrated self. During our time together, you will be met with compassion, grace, and acceptance, as well as a well-deserved space to heal, grow, and change.
Thank you for being here. I am honored to take part in this leg of your journey of healing and transformation. It takes courage and strength to say yes, and I can't imagine what it took to bring you here--to this moment. If you are willing and ready, I am here to partner with you in your next steps toward change.

In navigating life's twists and turns, many of my potential clients find themselves at crossroads, uncertain of the next step forward. Some carry the weight of past traumas, seeking solace and understanding as they strive to heal.

In recognizing that there can be multiple truths, I offer a unique perspective that honors individual experiences and perspectives, especially for those who have felt unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. What sets me apart is my commitment to seeing each person as an individual.
Lutishia's approach to therapy is rooted in the power of a simple conversation. She provides a judgment-free zone where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. Whether guiding clients through challenging life transitions, addressing trauma, or navigating relationship dynamics.
With Lutishia, clients can expect a collaborative and empowering therapeutic experience aimed at fostering positive change and personal growth. I invite you to have quick chat with me. Let's explore what your needs are and work together to find the best fit for you.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in California, and I specialize in the examination of the human experience, with an emphasis in trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression disorders, and couple's therapy. I always strive to embody cultural humility, and I am proud to serve diverse clients of all backgrounds and walks of life.
As a clinical therapist and cultural arts practitioner, I employ a unique artfulness to my style of therapy. I utilize traditional therapeutic modalities paired with mindfulness and meditation. I believe clients gain insight and answers to their challenges by exploring their inner-genius, and I am happy to serve as your trusted guide.
Through clearly expressed goals and a commitment, one can be on the journey to self discovery, empowerment, mental wellness, and contentment. Under my therapeutic guidance, clients are empowered to create and embrace their own inner light.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes determination and a kind of "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired" type attitude, and I am proud of you for getting started!
In the words of the late Bruce Lee, "What we are not changing, we are choosing". Let's work together and get your life on the path you truly envision for yourself.
