Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
There are many people who support the victims of Domestic Violence and Abuse. I am most interested in working with perpetrators. In my office, you'll find a place where you'll be listened to with respect. I've found that most who engage in violence and/or abuse were victims first. Let's collaborate to learn why you treat the ones you love the way you do, and then work out some other ways to create lasting positive relationships.

23 Years Experience
Online in Bakersfield, CA California
Bakersfield sits at the southern end of California's San Joaquin Valley and is shaped by its oil industry and agricultural economy — two sectors with distinct occupational cultures that affect how residents approach mental health and help-seeking. The city has a large and long-established Hispanic community, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists serve a critical access role for families where language barriers limit engagement with mainstream mental health services. Kern Medical provides institutional mental health resources alongside a relatively sparse private practice community — Bakersfield has fewer therapists per capita than comparable California cities, making telehealth an important access route. The city's conservative political culture and strong evangelical community mean faith-integrated approaches to therapy are in consistent demand.
