I’m a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers a warm, grounded space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and create meaningful change. My style is relational and attachment-informed—meaning we pay attention to patterns that show up in relationships, and how earlier experiences may shape the way you cope, connect, or protect yourself today. I’m also strengths-based and practical: we’ll build on what’s already working while using CBT tools to reduce overwhelm, challenge unhelpful thought loops, and practice skills that support steadier mood, boundaries, and healthier relationships. The impact my clients often experience is feeling more emotionally stable and confident in themselves, with a clearer understanding of their triggers and patterns. Over time, many people report improved self-compassion, stronger communication, more secure attachment in relationships, and an increased ability to tolerate difficult emotions without shutting down or spiraling. My goal is for you to leave therapy with both deeper insight and real-life tools so you can feel more connected, empowered, and able to live with authenticity and intention.

Hi! I am so glad you're here. Are you looking for a therapist you can connect with and will help you grow? I am passionate about helping teens and adults heal from traumatic experiences and overcome mental health challenges. It takes a lot of bravery to ask for help and examine your patterns of behavior. It is a honor to walk alongside clients and help them create meaningful change and healing. I am trained in the cutting edge treatment method of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). EMDR is primarily used to help treat and heal trauma, anxiety, phobias, and distressing life events. Many of the clients report symptom relief through EMDR that they were previously unable to achieve in talk therapy alone, I would love to talk more and see if EMDR is a good fit for you!

Understand, Reframe, and Navigate Human Behavior. Human behavior is rarely random. The way we communicate, react, withdraw, persuade, accommodate, or push back usually serves a purpose, even when the pattern is creating problems in our lives. I work with people navigating complicated relationship dynamics, particularly when boundaries, persuasion, control, or manipulation have become part of the equation. Sometimes that means recognizing how someone else’s behavior is influencing you. Other times, it means taking an honest look at patterns in your own behavior and understanding what keeps them going. You may have noticed that you’ve already considered change. Maybe you understand what you should do but find yourself responding the same way anyway. Maybe you keep giving in, questioning yourself, or getting pulled into interactions that leave you wondering what just happened. Therapy with me is about looking beneath the behavior rather than reducing it to a label. We’ll examine what drives the pattern, what it accomplishes, and how you can respond more deliberately.

Hello there! Are you seeking empowerment, fulfillment, or healing from past trauma? I provide a safe space to support you on a journey of self-discovery. I believe our minds, bodies, spirits, and relationships are interconnected, and I address each facet to help you emerge holistically. My therapeutic style draws from various approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), attachment therapy, and Brainspotting (BSP). I value the relational aspect of psychotherapy, and through guided questions, you will be invited to find answers that enhance your sense of self and deepen your connection with yourself and others. I hold a CA license to practice psychotherapy as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) #105889. In CA.

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.
