Hakomi Method Therapists in Irvine, CA

I have supported hundreds of couples over the past 15+ years and look forward to helping you get yours where you want it to be. Poor communication? Broken trust? Endless arguments? I look forward to hearing from you.

Life After Birth stands out for its specialized focus on the mental and emotional experience of aspiring, expectant, and new parents. Founder and Clinical Director Molly Nourmand, LMFT has been doing this work since 2017 and is widely respected in the maternal mental health community. Clients are often drawn to the practice because they are looking for knowledgeable, compassionate support from clinicians who understand the challenges of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and early parenthood. Life After Birth combines clinical expertise with warmth, community, and a deep commitment to helping parents feel seen and supported.

I have 20 years of experience working with both couples and individuals in shaping more rewarding lives for themselves. I offer holistic, non-judgmental, solution focused approaches to help couples develop clear communication, effective conflict resolution skills and strategies to fulfill their emotional and sexual needs so that they can move forward with creating a more enriching relationship together. In our sessions together I will provide concrete applicable interventions to help you develop clearer more effective communication, learn to manage and resolve conflict in a way that benefits each of you and the relationship and use points of tension in your relationship as opportunities to grow as individuals and create deeper intimacy and a stronger, more rewarding relationship together.

Longing to feel more free in your life, more self accepting, more connected and more powerfully YOU? Let's talk.

I'm a Humanistic psychotherapist seeing individuals both in-person in Mill Valley, CA, and online for people anywhere in California. My approach encourages people to meet each moment with their full capacity. In session, work includes bolstering emotional regulation, practicing awareness of mind and body, and getting curious with what may be possible. I love to work with people who are creative, motivated, and independent.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
