Hi! I'm Mai Gattenyo, AMFT (59934) supervised by Lexi Molloy LCSW. I provide virtual therapy in California to adults and couples (Aetna, Anthem, CenCal, Sliding Scale).
I work with couples at all stages using Gottman and EFT, including premarital couples who want to build a strong foundation, and couples navigating repeating arguments, disconnection, or intimacy concerns.
I also 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 dating, career, or friendships.
My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I use tools from CBT, Psychodynamic, Existential Therapy, EFT 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 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. Reach out today for a free 15 minute consultation.
