Maya Daley, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maya!

As a first-generation American, I understand the barriers and cultural challenges that come with navigating life. I believe healing happens when we address the whole person—mind, body, emotions, environment, and relationships. My role will be to honor you as a human being, and work collaboratively to address patterns, and seek inner peace.

My focus

I believe in building a trusting relationship above all else. I gently encourage my clients to be open, honest, and willing to change or see other perspectives that may improve their life and relationships.

My approach

I primarily draw from Psychodynamic, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapies. My approach is to meet you where you are, and work collaboratively to focus on your primary goals for healing. My goal is to help you cultivate resilience, improve your emotional well-being, and help you on your path of self-discovery and growth in various areas of your life.

My communication style

I work to help to empower them every step of the way to self-exploration of their emotions. You can expect from our sessions a warm, friendly, non-judgmental, yet affirming communication style. I seek to communicate with you in a way that is empowering but also validating, motivating, and explorative to unlock channels for growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a daughter of immigrants and someone from a culture that did not promote mental health, I sought to break negative patterns in my family and relationships. Seeking to spread positivity and helping others created their own version of happiness, this birthed my passion for mental health and psychology. I believe peace is a right not a privilege.

My goals for you

I am your support. A cheerleader in your corner encouraging you every step of the way. "You can, and will" are words you can expect during our sessions. I will continue to help you discover your inner strength to strive and reach various goals in all areas of your life collaboratively.

Our first session

My clients would describe me as warm, collaborative, kind, non-judgmental, relatable, and approachable. Expect a warm, kind, and honest first session with me. I am always seeking to learn more about you so expect questions but also reassurance and encouragement. We will discuss your understanding of services and do an intake.
