Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I help South Asian and Muslim women who feel responsible for everyone else but have no space left for themselves.
From the outside, you may look like you have it together. You are dependable, capable, and the person others turn to when something goes wrong. But privately, you are exhausted. You replay conversations, worry about disappointing people, struggle to say no, and feel guilty slowing down.
Many of my clients carry the weight of family expectations, caregiving roles, cultural pressures, and the belief that their needs should come last. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, burnout, resentment, and feeling disconnected from yourself.
In therapy, we look beyond surface-level coping and explore the patterns underneath, including over-responsibility, people-pleasing, guilt, and long-standing roles you have learned to carry. Together, we create space for your needs, your voice, and a way of living that feels more balanced and sustainable.
I offer private pay telehealth therapy throughout California.

Psychoanalytic Therapy
Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe therapy is most healing when it feels like an authentic human relationship—one where curiosity, honesty, and courage can coexist. My role is to help you slow down enough to hear yourself, to notice old patterns that no longer serve you, and to create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. I work collaboratively, with a balance of compassion and directness, to help you gain clarity about your needs and build a greater sense of agency in your life. Together, we work toward a kind of transformation that feels both deeply personal and sustainably real. Reach out to schedule a free 20 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for your therapy needs.

Psychoanalytic Therapy
Alyssa Habschmidt
Therapist, AMFT
Sensitive people who desire a more meaningful, self-led life come to me for support to talk through some of the trickiest, most vulnerable parts of their lives. I work with people in long-term, insight-oriented therapy and will help you understand what's going on beneath the surface — the fears, longings, and protective patterns that quietly shape your life. We will approach these parts of yourself with curiosity, creating space for healing, growth, and self-trust. I am warm, collaborative, engaged, and supportive, offering an environment where you can say things you've never had the permission to say out loud. You lead the way; I walk beside you.
If this resonates, reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Psychoanalytic Therapy
Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Life can leave you feeling shaken—betrayal, relational abuse, or divorce can erode trust, shake your sense of self, and make relationships feel unsafe. It’s normal to feel hurt, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
I also specialize in sex therapy and intimacy work. Whether sexual desire feels distant, connection feels confusing, or intimacy brings anxiety, we can explore what’s getting in the way and work toward sexual confidence, satisfying closeness, and authentic connection.
In a supportive, nonjudgmental space, we’ll address the patterns holding you back, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and take practical steps toward safer, more fulfilling relationships and intimacy—so you can feel heard, valued, and connected again.
