Therapists in 94131
I welcome individual adults, parenting couples and teens into my private practice. My clients often wish to discuss improving their mood, increasing performance at work/school, identifying problems in relationships, exploring their gender identity and establishing healthy screen time/social media habits. With all clients, my initial goal is to offer a safe, non-judgemental space in which we can discover what facets of life most impact them, and how. The goal of my therapies is always to unravel with clients how they arrived in the stressful circumstances they currently inhabit, and how to work on reducing emotional pain.

As a non-pathologizing humanistic-existential Gestalt therapist, I will meet you exactly where you are.

As your empathic witness, advocate, and guide, I will help you increase your self-awareness, self-acceptance, and sense of agency. Essentially, I will help you re-examine your life and re-experience yourself and others, in different as well as new meaningful and healing ways. My approach is mindful, intuitive, and tenderhearted.

Do you overthink, strive for perfection, and still feel like it’s not enough? I help high-achieving women quiet anxiety, self-doubt, and the relentless inner critic. You may look put-together on the outside but feel overwhelmed inside. Together, we’ll turn down the mental noise, build resilience, and cultivate greater clarity, confidence, and ease.

I find it effective to combine behavioral solutions with depth work. Since the unconscious ripples into all aspects of life, I have found that relational therapy addressing unconscious motives can help with most psychological difficulties. In addition to working with individuals, couples & families, I am adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies where I teach in the Masters in Counseling Psychology Department and Psychological Services Clinic.

Traumatic experiences and adverse events are common. If left untreated, trauma can affect your ability to feel safe, trust others and feel hopeful about your future throughout the life-cycle. It can also affect your ability to form healthy relationships at home, at school or work and in the community, too. Many clients are unable to identify, verbalize or explain their trauma, allowing movement to be the primary way to process. Comprehensive and innovative trauma-sensitive treatment approaches are available that can improve not only your overall general functioning, but improve your overall health and sense of wellbeing, too.

Over 17 years practicing has affirmed my belief that most of the emotional wounding and on-going pain, difficulties, confusion and “stuckness” plaguing individuals, and the relational problems of couples can move and improve significantly in psychotherapy with a warm, intelligent, highly attuned, interactive, and skilled psychotherapist. I work hard at creating a safe, reliable and connected therapeutic relationship, in which the client feels comfortable, seen, understood and accepted for who they are, communicated with honestly and directly, and free to drive the focus, pace and intensity as feels right to them.

I am a clinical psychologist with an affectionate heart for therapy. Beyond my doctoral training, I received years of advanced therapy training from the best trainers in the field. Since 2007, I have worked with an exceptionally wide range of cultural backgrounds and therapy needs, ranging from brief adjustment issues to serious mental illness. Many of my clients have told me that they appreciate my way of accurately understanding them and their situation, my ability to point out the core human experience in a way that that really stays on their mind, and my presence as a human being that provides warm support.

At the heart of our struggles and pains are relationships. At the heart of our hopes and dreams are relationships. Whether it is your relationship with anxiety and depression, with your career, with your partner, sister, son, daughter, boss, or parent-everything is about relationships.

What needs attention, a new perspective, a better skill, or emotional resolve to enable you to become more authentic and improve your connection to self and others?

As it is with all of nature, it is our human nature to grow. To really live is a creative process, one that is sensitive and responsive to the world in which it emerges. In this way we are attuned and adaptable, and yet sometimes we forget. We find ourselves clinging to internalized messages about who and how we should be, and the confusion, doubt, worry, and fear that follow end up stalling, blocking, or dulling our capacity to flow in connection with our most authentic sense of who we are. Our true nature begins to feel very far away.

I have a particular expertise in working with clients who have diverse cultural backgrounds (e.g. ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation.) I also have a deep association working with artistic/creative type individuals and can address particular issues that arise being an artist confined to a conventional/mainstream worldview.

My name is Jin Niki, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with cross-state licensure in California and Nevada. I work with a wide range of populations and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and distressful life transitions. I am a firm believer that in order to achieve overall wellness, one must place priority on creating a life that feels good on the inside rather than a life that appears good from the outside. The wider the discrepancy between the two, the greater the distress from emotional pain.
