Katina Boulai, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Katina!

My approach to therapy is respectful and empathetic, working in the here and now based on my client's needs. I work with clients dealing with areas such as depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

My focus

I have experience working with diverse populations, including families, couples, and individuals with issues relating to depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, parenting, divorce, grief, life transitions, and relationship issues.

My approach

I use a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I have many years of experience working with families, couples, and individuals using different modalities such as relational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the family systems approach.

My communication style

Taking this step is not always easy, but very helpful to develop better ways of dealing with day-to-day struggles. Having someone with whom you can safely and privately discuss your concerns creates an opportunity to achieve a better quality of life. I hope to provide a safe space for clients to do that.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a compassionate person who loves working and helping people, and this field allows me to do that. The Therapeutic relationship allows clients to feel safe and have someone neutral, respectful, and professional be there to support their growth.

My goals for you

Setting goals together to help support you is important, as well as taking action. This is an important part of our work together.

Our first session

During our first session, we will get to know more about what's going on for you, build rapport, and set goals if you are ready to do so.
