Hi! I'm Mai Gattenyo, AMFT (59934) supervised by Lexi Molloy LCSW. I provide online therapy across California and accept Aetna, Anthem, and Cencal, and sliding scale. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, or burnout. Even when things appear fine on paper, you may still feel exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you truly want in areas like dating, career, or life direction.
I also support couples navigating relationship stress, recurring conflict, and emotional disconnection through Gottman and EFT informed interventions. I am LGBT affirming and accepting.
My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I use tools from CBT, Psychodynamic, Existential Therapy, and Gottman to help you understand the patterns shaping your life.
I am also committed to providing culturally responsive care for the Jewish community, offering a supportive space to explore identity, belonging, and the impact of antisemitism.
I provide online therapy to clients across California, including San Diego, OC, LA, and the Bay Area. I believe that we all have the capacity for growth and to author a life that feels meaningful through understanding our patterns with compassion. Whatever brings you in, my goal is to help you make sense of your story so you can live authentically.
