As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and first-generation Filipino American, I bring a culturally sensitive approach to guiding individuals toward healing, resilience, and personal growth. I specialize in trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), EMDR, and Brainspotting—advanced, evidence-based interventions designed to address the root causes of trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression. With experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, I’m passionate about helping clients process life-altering events, break free from past trauma, challenge unhelpful core beliefs, and manage ongoing stress. My mission is to empower clients to build meaningful lives and strengthen their relationships. Are you feeling stuck under the weight of addiction, anxiety, or depression? Are emotional blocks keeping you from living the life you want? You do not need to go through each day merely trying to survive —you can thrive in life!

Healing is possible, with just a little persistence, and hope. I am here to support you every step of the way!

Life often brings us questions—the "whys" behind our anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. We try to make sense of the senseless, but the answers remain elusive. My practice, WhysCounselor, acknowledges the "whys" that bring you to therapy while guiding you to discover your deeper, motivating "why"—your reason for seeking change. Here’s the truth: while we may never answer every "why," we absolutely can change how those unanswered questions have affected you. You might think that if others would change, or if your difficult feelings would just disappear, things would be better. But there is one thing you can change that will fundamentally improve everything: the way you see yourself. I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues who are motivated and ready to do the work. My focus is on helping you manage symptoms and find practical tools for daily life. Make meaningful changes in your behaviors to reflect the person you want to be. Heal the most neglected relationship in your life: the one with yourself. Our work together will be about building a healthy relationship with yourself first. I am trained in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Psychotherapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client, without it growth and trust cease to exist. I work towards understanding your needs and wants in a nonjudgmental safe, supportive, and empathetic environment. I believe mental health issues are a symptom of deeper, unresolved emotional issues and childhood wounds. I work with teenagers 13+ and adults. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify irrational thoughts and faulty thinking that are the main culprits behind anxiety and stress. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to help uncover past issues, such as family dynamics and childhood issues.

If you're a practicing Catholic seeking to integrate your spiritual values into your mental health journey, finding a therapist who understands your worldview can be invaluable. ​I'm Dr. Yajaira Kennison, LCSW, and I specialize in providing online talk therapy for adults across California. With a doctoral degree in Psychology, 8 years of independent licensure, and 14 years in the field, I offer a unique blend of clinical expertise and faith-informed insights. My practice also supports Spanish-speaking clients with culturally sensitive care, and I offer specialized guidance for new parents, including infant massage techniques to foster early attachment. ​I believe that aligning your mental health with your spiritual foundation can lead to deeper, more sustainable healing and growth. When I am not working, I spend time with my dog, either on another adventure across the world, or enjoying the outdoors locally. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California: LCSW # 79259

Hello, and welcome! I'm Nicole Tries-Botti, MA, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. With over five years of experience in the field, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and personal insight to my practice. My journey to becoming a therapist has been anything but conventional. I began my career in advertising and marketing, then transitioned into bookkeeping while raising my children. After navigating numerous life transitions, including becoming an empty nester and changing careers, I finally pursued my lifelong dream of becoming a therapist. As an immigrant myself, I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating language and cultural differences. My diverse background and life experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of human relationships and the importance of cultural sensitivity in therapy. In our sessions, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for individuals, couples, and families to explore their challenges, gain insight, and work towards positive change. Drawing from my background in somatic experiencing and cultural competence, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. Whether you're facing relationship issues, navigating life transitions, or seeking support for personal growth, I'm here to accompany you on your journey towards healing and fulfillment. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and harness your strengths to create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
