Nasha Mazaira, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nasha!

I offer somatic, trauma-focused therapy and EMDR for women, queer folks, and highly sensitive clients navigating grief, birth trauma, and burnout. My style is warm, intuitive, and culturally aware.

My focus

I work with clients navigating trauma, grief, perinatal or postpartum challenges, anxiety, and burnout. I especially support highly sensitive individuals and those moving through major life shifts. I help you find grounding, rebuild trust in yourself, and create space for meaningful change.

My approach

I use a blend of EMDR, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed practices that honor the body’s wisdom. Sessions are collaborative, gentle, and paced to support regulation and clarity. I hold space with care so you can explore, process, and integrate your experiences safely.

My communication style

My tone is intuitive, compassionate, and culturally attuned. I balance gentle guidance with deep listening, helping you feel seen and supported. I invite slowness, curiosity, and presence so your healing can unfold in a steady, grounded way.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey grew from a personal understanding of how transformative it is to feel supported in body and mind. This led me to somatic therapy and EMDR, and to offering warm, culturally aware care for clients moving through trauma, grief, overwhelm, and major life changes.

My goals for you

We set goals collaboratively, centering on what feels most alive in your body and life. I use somatic and EMDR techniques to help you process blocks and build capacity. I offer gentle structure and ongoing reflection to keep you aligned with your intentions.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brings you in, what you’re needing, and what feels most pressing. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your history and goals, and we’ll set a pace that feels comfortable. It’s a collaborative, calm, and supportive beginning.
