Mariah Larkin, LMFT

Mariah Larkin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 30 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, interactive style to work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship challenges, and she offers particular experience with LGBT clients, alternative and creative lifestyles, and male psychology.

Her training blends Eastern and Western psychologies, including doctoral study at the California Institute of Integral Studies. That background supports both depth-oriented work and shorter-term interventions. For clients interested in exploring unconscious material she draws on Jungian psychology and dream work; for targeted trauma healing she uses Brainspotting, Music Imagery Therapy, and cognitive tools such as CBT. She also integrates meditation and psycho-spiritual practices when that fits a client’s goals.

Mariah creates an empathic space where people can speak freely, process grief and stress, and develop greater self-trust and emotional awareness. Her approach includes client-centered listening alongside modalities such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential and Psychodynamic therapies, Somatic methods, Internal Family Systems, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based techniques, allowing her to tailor work to each person’s needs.

She offers support for relationship pattern change, life purpose questions, body image and self-love, midlife transitions, men’s and women’s issues, multicultural concerns, obsessions and compulsions including OCD, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety and phobia. Mariah invites truthfulness in the therapy relationship and teaches practical psycho-spiritual tools clients can use outside sessions. She may share aspects of her own journey in therapy when appropriate, and she approaches the first appointment as a chance to get acquainted, review background, and begin building a collaborative process toward goals.
