Life is a journey full of ups, downs, and forks in the road which can bring about stress, anxiety, depression, and an overall feeling of helplessness. Most of the time, it’s easy to navigate on our own, but quite often, a licensed psychotherapist is needed to restore balance and provide the necessary tools to rebuild and/or redirect your life toward becoming more fulfilling, uplifting, and enjoyable. As your therapist, I’m committed to creating a safe place to address any issues you feel are holding you back from becoming the very best version of yourself; creating a relationship built on trust, honesty, and understanding.

"At the center of your being, you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want." -Lao Tzu. I believe this to be true for all individuals, though depression, anxiety, and other mental health symptoms can obscure this understanding, leaving us lost and confused along the way. I work with individuals and couples who have deviated from or lost sight of their values, and are looking for guidance in defining and living a life of peace and purpose.

At a crossroads? Feeling stuck? Let’s identify the underlying concerns that derailed you from living in your purpose. You will feel heard, supported and self empowered to follow your own purpose.

Hi. My name is Luis Maimoni. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationships of all kinds. Relationships with partners, with friends and family, and with co-workers are vital parts of our lives. When our relationships are great, we feel great. When our relationships are "having difficulties" or "experiencing challenges", so are we. If you're reading this, my guess is that one or more of your relationships is not in the "great" category. I can relate.

You are a product of your community. As a result, you are a Survivor of the traumas, the cultural norms, and the "rules" that you followed in order to stay alive. When you based your survival on another's expectation of you, you eventually found yourself lost in the limbo of sacrificing your authenticity and your voice for the happiness and success of your social circle, family, and/or your community.

Accepting new clients! - - - You have an internal sense of who you are and what you want, but you might not know where to turn for help. Maybe you tried to figure things out on your own, or you confided in unsafe people. Wherever your past led you, I'm here to support you on a new path to exploring your true self.

Successful therapy depends on a good therapeutic relatiionship, in a confidential and peaceful environment, to address and resolve what led you to seek professional support. Relationship issues and solutions can be explored. One's present, distressing reactions to memories of past traumatic or dysfunctional events can be changed dramatically resulting in more satisfying personal and/or business relationships.

I work with Codependency and ACA issues and their application to the client's personal relationships and mental state of mind. My goal is to improve your overall relationships at work and in your personal life. I work from a Christian frame of reference (Biola Univ./Thru the Bible Radio) emphasizing the need for God in your life as the source of strength, comfort and in understanding behavior and symptoms. I utilize 12 Step Work and embrace this method of recovery. Establishing your goals and outcomes is essential to making your time and money count for significant changes in life.

The truth about mental health is that being mentally healthy is not simply being happy all the time and perfect relationships are not born they are built. It is a fact that life is full of twists and turns with amazing highs and heartbreaking lows, not just for the individual but for couples and families as well. True mental health is the ability to navigate through these points while embracing the full range of your emotions and honoring them and every part of yourself! This is the stuff that mentally healthy and strong people and relationships are made of and this is where my passion lies!

I enjoy working with adults and couples from the diverse background. I specialize in working with API clients struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, unresolved past trauma, marital/relationship challenges, navigating identity, life transitions, grief, and intergenerational trauma. I specialize in helping interracial couples to repair/improve their connection and communication. I'm bilingual with English and Japanese, and can offer sessions in either or both languages. I understand how the interplay between our cultural identity and family background can play an important role in our experience of the world.

I support couples in moving from disconnection to connection. I work with couples who lack emotional intimacy, have recurring conflicts, no physical affection, have communication issues, and feel frustrated. My treatment approach is through a blend of Energy Psychology, Imago Relationship, and Somatic Therapy. My goal is to turn negativity and conflict into opportunities for growth and healing. I assist couples in understanding their early childhood attachment and how it currently affects them, communicate with compassion, react to conflict with curiosity rather than judgment, and learn to rekindle the passion.
