Teletherapy for Long Beach, CA

When you enter a relationship, you bring your hopes and dreams with you. You also bring your unresolved issues. Two people in love, each one looking to the other to fulfill their hopes and dreams. Isn’t that what relationships promise to do? Solve your problems, make you better? No. That's a misunderstanding, and it's not fair. So put away that steamer trunk full of your well preserved baggage, and realize you've got some real work to do if you want your relationship to be what you envision. Your baggage is your responsibility to resolve, so you can give your partner what they deserve. The best of you. Isn't that what you want?

Much of my work aims to understand the underlying concerns that are causing stressful situations and maladaptive behaviors. Through active listening, empathy, and from a non-judgmental standpoint, my objective is for us to create trust within the therapeutic relationship and to work together; creating both short- and long-term goals, recognizing triggers, and creating positive coping skills to assist you on your journey to healing.

For as long as I can remember, I have felt called to serve others through compassion, connection & a sense of humor.

Additionally, my experience serving diverse populations has fueled my passion for helping others navigate social, medical and educational inequities.

"At the center of your being, you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want." -Lao Tzu.

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.

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.

Everyone has mental health! Good mental health is the foundation of life. There exists a vast number of individuals with varying degrees of uniqueness, including strengths and areas needing work (issues and challenges). There are those who have goals and an idea of what they need and want. Then there are those who have no idea what they need and want, but know they just want to be and feel better. Everyone wants to be heard, their experiences and feelings validated, and to be supported. This is where I step in...

You are worthy of experiencing a healing space that is safe for you to express your full self and explore your emotions and vulnerabilities.

I offer therapy with a social justice framework that includes a lens for the experiences of the BIPOC community and affirming care for the LGBTQ+ community.

Is this the best it can be? You know you are not living your life to its fullest. You look around you at the state of the world and you see conflict, disasters, people being awful to each other and changes that happen so fast, no one can seem to keep up. It seems like you either have to shut down to the pain of the world, or you will drown in it. It’s so much easier in any given moment to lose yourself on your phone, or Netflix, or a drink or…. You can see that you’re checking out – and there’s a price to pay for that – but in the moment, you can’t muster anything better.

Therapy can be a safe and non-judgmental space to receive support, compassion, and understanding.

I believe that we have within us, the power to create the life we desire. We possess inner strengths and skills that can help us overcome challenges and live a fulfilled life.
