The wound is the place where the Light enters you.... Rumi. "Are you experiencing sadness, anxiety/fear, or chronic unhappiness"? "Feeling unloved or unvalued in your relationships"? I believe that our wounds, our suffering & challenges can be a profound catalyst for awakening, for learning to love more deeply and for healing & transformation. And it will be my privilege to assist you in your healing journey...to alleviate suffering, awaken the heart towards self-compassion/loving-kindness and shape the brain towards greater joy & happiness!

My name is Maitri Joy and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) living in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. Working with adults, my specialties include Mood Disorders (Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder), Trauma (PTSD), and Addictions (Drug, Alcohol, Food, Sex). As a transpersonal psychotherapist, I integrate Asian spirituality (Buddhist, & Hindu meditation practices) with cutting-edge psychotherapy modalities to offer you a way to make progress in feeling better fast.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with a specialty in the treatment of marital issues (couples counseling), ADHD, trauma, gaming addiction, depression, anxiety, OCD, and career stress.

I provide a warm and understanding atmosphere without judgment and pressure. Our work together is going to be about you and for you. I am not here to tell you what to do but allow you to become the owner of your life and regain the power of choice. You will be invited to explore through using traditional means of therapy(talk therapy) or more creative ways such as drama and expressive arts therapy. The choice will be yours and completely based on your level of comfort. I will be here to set up the creative stage for you to shine, cry, laugh, change and grow.

Hello! My name is Annu, and I am a therapist in San Francisco (and online). I work with immigrants and adult-children of immigrants....also known as Third Culture Kids (TCK) or First Generation Americans. I work with multi-cultural and multi-racial couples, many of whom are people of color. I work with successful, career-driven achievers. I belong to each of these demographics - my parents immigrated to the US in 1971, and I worked in the corporate world for nearly 2 decades, climbing the corporate ladder rapidly before pivoting my career by going back to school to study counseling psychology. I work virtually via Zoom or phone.

"In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity".... Albert Einstein. Are you experiencing fear/uncertainty due to a recent crisis or change/transition in your life? Feeling overwhelmed or torn about challenges/imbalances in your personal & professional life? Or find yourself stuck, dissatisfied, living a life devoid of purpose & passion? I can be a catalyst in helping you transform your crisis/challenges into opportunities for discovering a new realm of possibilities. I am passionate about empowering people to create innovative paradigms for personal & professional fulfillment -to live a life of full of purpose & passion!

I am passionate about the resiliency of the human spirit in healing from trauma, creating & nurturing engaging relationships, & finding our way through life’s transitions. I view therapy as a tool to create a safe space to show up authentically and work toward living the life you seek. My work is with children (8 & up), teens, adults, & couples who are healing from trauma, working on identity, body image, & self-esteem, experiencing anxiety, depression, & stress, recovering from narcissistic, sexual, or intimate partner abuse, having difficulty with dating/relationships, & working through divorce, co-parenting, & blending families.

I believe that the capacities for both healing and growth are innate to each of us, and that the role of a therapist is to help facilitate the flow of these natural processes. My priority is to assist you in fostering a renewed connection to the inherent vitality, openness, calm, and creativity that reside deep within each of us and to help you embody these resources as you turn toward life's challenges.

Welcome! I provide culturally affirming and trauma-informed Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, an experiential approach that can effectively and gently support a wide range of therapeutic needs. This includes struggles with life changes and transitions, emotional distress such as anxiety and depression, and the lingering impacts of past trauma. It is possible to heal from these emotional injuries, release burdens and beliefs about yourself that you carry as a result of painful experiences, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others. How might these parts of you show up?

I believe that healing is an art that takes time, practice, and love. Your healing needs to be done with upmost care and with the greatest intentions. As an intergenerational trauma specialist, you and I will become archeologists of your past, uncovering the missing pieces to help you become whole again. In this journey, we leave no stones unturned. Though I work with most individuals and couples, I especially love to work with mothers, healers, therapists, nurses, and those in the caring field. I also love to work with artists, writers, and soul seekers who wants to better connect with themselves to further their creations.

Being and feeling seen is healing. I believe that healing is a deep understanding of our past and ownership of the future we are creating for ourselves. I support clients who feel unprepared for life, love, or parenting. Maybe you have found yourself noticing unhealed stuff; sensations, thoughts, urges or feelings that are too big to ignore? You're not alone, growing into our best self requires self awareness and now that you have that the rest can become clearer. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, I am here to support you in evolving on purpose

Stress levels are skyrocketing, leaving many feeling overwhelmed and inadequate. Despite efforts to maintain composure, the inner critic amplifies feelings of insufficiency, making true balance seem out of reach. For too many, chronic stress has become debilitating, transforming exhaustion into a constant state. The pursuit of happiness feels futile as settling for discontent becomes the norm. If you're weary of neglecting your own needs for the sake of others, know this: you deserve better. It’s time to prioritize your well-being. Don’t let another day pass in the shadow of stress. It’s time for a change.

Seeking therapy can feel scary, but if anxiety, depression and stress are getting the best of you, think about how much better your life can be once you get help. Are your thoughts, feelings, and impulses impacting your life in negative ways? Have hope because help is available. If you're feeling lonely or are having relationship problems, send me an email. Together we can work towards your goals.

I have a relaxed approach that is spiced with humor and education. My goal is to have a comfortable and creative environment to help you make the changes you want to see. I'm big on education and will likely push books, articles, and videos on you; or at least summarize to the best of my ability. I'm also big on self acceptance and self-awareness, using practical mindfulness and personal intelligence as a guide. This means getting to know yourself and your strengths to learn how to use them to help yourself.

If you stay awake at night with troubling thoughts, feel lonely even when in a relationship, and use distractions of substances, media, sex, or work, I invite you to take ownership of your life. Relational issues in private or professional life, parenting, career decisions, unpleasant symptoms of depression or anxiety, moods preventing enjoyment of life, identity concerns, and problematic behavior patterns are all welcome here as they are our guideposts for exploration. I believe in a holistic approach to healing with the mind, heart, body, and spirit integrated.

Counseling service is like having a personal trainer in the gym for our mind muscle; individually tailored guidance doesn’t hurt. We all have ups and downs in our life, work, family, relationships, and I'm here to support you through the things that are messy, challenging, and confusing with a safe space for you to just be yourself with no judgements. Let me join your journey of figuring-out, growing, healing, shining and thriving, and make the full access to life experiences with joy of living come true.
