Keisha Thomas, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Keisha!

Many people seek therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who they are becoming—and that's okay. Therapy doesn't mean having all the answers; it's a space where we can figure things out together. I want you to feel seen, heard, and empowered in our work. Let's start where you are.

My focus

I support clients navigating identity exploration, major life changes, parenthood, postpartum depression and anxiety, and intergenerational dynamics. As a Filipino therapist, I offer culturally responsive care in English and Tagalog. I also provide career counseling for those feeling stuck, burned out, or seeking deeper meaning in their work.

My approach

I work from a collaborative, client-centered lens, drawing from CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches. We'll move at your pace, focusing on your strengths and values while exploring what healing and growth look like for you. Our work together is built around your story.

My communication style

Clients describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and approachable. I listen with care and intention, ask thoughtful questions, and hold space for difficult emotions. I show up authentically and invite you to do the same. Humor, real talk, and deep reflection are all welcome in our sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I didn't see many providers who looked like me or understood the cultural nuances I grew up with. That gap made me passionate about representation in therapy and breaking the stigma around mental health, especially in marginalized communities.

My goals for you

Together, we'll clarify what healing and growth look like for you. I'll help you connect the dots, identify patterns, and build tools that feel sustainable and empowering. Whether we're challenging unhelpful thoughts, processing difficult experiences, or creating space for self-discovery, I'll support you in taking meaningful steps forward.

Our first session

Your first session is about getting to know each other. We'll talk about what brings you in, what you're hoping for, and what's most important to you. I'll share more about how I work so you can sense whether it feels like a good fit. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and respected.
