About Lakisha Callahan

Lakisha Callahan is a compassionate licensed clinician practicing in California with eight years of professional experience supporting people through challenging life moments. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she draws on training in relational and systems-informed approaches to understand how past experiences and relationships influence present patterns and emotional responses.

She focuses on helping individuals manage stress and anxiety, heal from trauma and abuse, build self-esteem and confidence, and work through depression and motivation concerns. Lakisha pays close attention to what has happened to a person, how those events affected them, and what repair or forward movement could look like, collaborating to create a clear path toward meaningful change.

Known for treating others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, she personalizes conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs. Lakisha also works with issues related to abandonment, attachment, blended families, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication and commitment challenges, and family of origin concerns. Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and she acknowledges that starting this work is an important and positive decision.

Lakisha conducts therapy in English and practices with an emphasis on practical coping strategies and relational insight, guiding people through both immediate concerns and longer term growth.
