Kiah Marks, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kiah!

I am a licensed clinical social worker working with the women's population. With a strong sense of compassion and counseling skills, a space is created that leads to successful treatment outcomes and a transformative therapeutic experience.=

My focus

I enjoy working with women from various backgrounds who are ready to show up authentically, share their stories, and embrace significant transformation.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy. These modalities help you understand your thoughts, stay present, and build practical solutions for anxiety, stress, and women's issues.

My communication style

I am warm, down-to-earth, encouraging, and empathetic. You will feel heard and deeply understood, which is the first step to profound change.

My journey to mental healthcare

What drew me to therapy is the deep interest I have in truly listening and my natural ability to see others at their full potential. Most importantly, there were many times being a young child and coming into adulthood when I was in great need of someone I could put my trust in to help me through difficult times.

My goals for you

Successful care will look like an established relationship built on trust, where you feel completely accepted. Progress will be reflected in the motivation to reach small wins that build confidence and create great strides toward your goals.

Our first session

In our first session, we will focus on relationship building and your life experiences that made you who you are today. We will then join together to solidify the perfect flow for future sessions that is accommodating to your current needs.
