Kylee Neumaier, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kylee!

Healing isn't about becoming a different person, it's about understanding yourself well enough to stop surviving and start thriving. I blend genuine connection with evidence-based, trauma-informed care to help you create lasting change, not just manage symptoms.

My focus

I work with adults (18+) experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and substance use challenges. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where we'll work together to understand your experiences, build practical coping skills, and create lasting, meaningful progress.

My approach

I use a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that integrates EMDR, CBT, and DBT to help clients heal, build practical coping skills, and create lasting change. Every treatment plan is tailored to each client's unique needs, goals, and pace. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen resilience, and develop effective tools.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I listen without judgment while offering compassionate, direct feedback that encourages insight and growth. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and appropriately challenged, balancing validation with practical strategies that help you make meaningful progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to mental health by a passion for helping people heal and rediscover their strengths. Supporting clients through trauma, addiction, and life's challenges continues to inspire my work. I'm motivated by helping people build resilience, create lasting change, and live more fulfilling, authentic lives.

My goals for you

We'll work together to create goals that reflect your unique needs, values, and vision for your life. As you grow, we'll adjust those goals to meet your changing needs and celebrate your progress along the way. I provide guidance, accountability, and practical tools to help you stay motivated and make meaningful, lasting change.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, discuss what brought you to therapy, and identify your goals for treatment. There's no pressure to share everything at once, I meet you where you are. Together, we'll create a plan that feels supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your needs.
