This includes cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, person centered therapy and emotion focused therapy.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are you struggling to gain control in life? Perhaps you are trying to manage a better relationship with food. Or it could be a daily challenge to maintain your sobriety. Maybe you find yourself in a relationship that lacks the sexual intimacy you crave. I have successfully helped many people like you overcome the obstacles that keep them trapped in cycles that are ineffective. I provide a safe and empathetic environment in which you can discuss things that are painful, challenging and personal.

Hi there! My name is Eileen Akiaten and I've been an LMFT since 2011. I’m ready to dig in with anyone willing to put in the work. I’m committed to holding a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone, whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, need anger management, or are just feeling stuck in your life. I believe that there are different levels of transformation and healing because my hope is, we are evolving and growing daily. Along with the traditional modalities such as CBT, Narrative, and Family Systems therapy, I like to pull in mindfulness practices and consider your cultural background and environment.

The decision to engage a therapist is deeply personal and may seem challenging. It is a unique relationship, where ideally, you can be in a safe, empathic environment and talk to someone with in depth psychological training and significant life experience. I offer both to my clients, treating individuals, couples, children, adolescents and families. These relationships have led me to focus on the treatment of: anxiety, depression, relational communications, work place stressors, substance use/abuse, attachment disorders, emotional regulation issues, self image, family systems, ADHD, grief and loss, parenting, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, impulse control, mood disorders and relational conflicts.

There are changes in a one’s life that can be overwhelming or difficult to manage. Some life transitions for teens and adults may be so overpowering that it can lead to increased stress, depression, anxiety, feelings of guilt, irritability/anger, grief, and loneliness/isolation. These emotions also come into play on the path to parenthood which is full of surprises. Pregnancy, infertility, loss and becoming a parent can be different than expected. It can bring up unexpected feelings like crying frequently, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, feelings of guilt/blame, and difficulties with adjustment to pregnancy or postpartum period.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety or depression, or feel you've hit a wall to progress, these states can create stress and disconnection, making personal fulfillment in career and relationships challenging. As we understand that physical exercise builds and strengthens our physical endurance, psychotherapy is a process of building and strengthening the mind's capacity to endure and respond. The therapeutic process is rooted in connection, transparency, and authenticity. I work from a collaborative and mindfulness approach to help guide my clients in understanding the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and actions to effect change.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
