Therapists in California

I’m here to hold hope, be witness to your story, partner with you to rewrite unhelpful notions, and empower you. I offer relational therapy for families to improve relationships and decrease unhelpful conflict; and individual therapy sessions to support people with personal struggles, growth, emotional wellbeing. I identify as an affirmative, client-centered, trauma-informed, and inclusive therapist who tailors therapy to meet the client needs. I welcome those from diverse backgrounds and folks from marginalized/disenfranchised communities who are wanting to work on the focuses above or below.

Are you experiencing any challenges or roadblocks that life is throwing at you right now? Are you in need of a safe sanctuary with non judgmental support through anxieties,fears,or traumas? Do you find it hard to manage your interpersonal relationships, work,and fit in self care? Seeking therapy can feel so scary, it takes so much courage and strength to step out of your comfort zone. My job is to be on the passenger side of your therapy journey, helping you find the answers within, and giving you tools to support you along the way. I am open minded, empathetic, compassionate,and have a non judgemental approach to care. I can help you find the root of your problems and dive deep to support you with finding the answers within. I like to challenge my clients, but utilizing a gentle approach. I am certified in mindfulness practices and I lean into a holistic/spiritual lens to mental health Care. I consider myself eclectic and utilize several theoretical approaches to care such as :CBT,ACT,IFS, and compassion focused.

I believe that we are all wired for connection and that our relationships deeply shape how we understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. When connection feels uncertain, unsafe, or threatened, we often develop ways of coping that help us protect ourselves and maintain a sense of safety. While these strategies may have served an important purpose at one time, they can sometimes become patterns that leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled. My work is centered on helping clients explore these patterns with curiosity, compassion, and care. I offer a depth-oriented approach that supports clients in building greater self-awareness, understanding their emotional world, and reconnecting with their authentic selves. Together, we create space for healing, integration, and new ways of relating that feel more grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing evidence-based psychiatric care and medication management for adults. I offer personalized treatment for depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, and mood disorders, with a focus on accurate diagnosis, thoughtful medication management, and practical treatment planning. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and patient-centered. I work closely with each individual to understand their symptoms, goals, and daily challenges, creating a clear and personalized mental health treatment plan. Whether you are seeking help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, or trauma-related concerns, my goal is to provide straightforward psychiatric care in a supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful progress.

If you’ve ever felt like your mental health care focused more on managing symptoms than understanding why you feel the way you do, you’re not alone. My approach starts with meeting you where you are, listening closely to your story, and helping you rebuild wellness from the inside out. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with an integrative and functional approach to psychiatry. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD and focus concerns, burnout, sleep difficulties, hormonal or menstrual-related mood changes such as PMDD, and those who may feel frustrated after trying treatments that haven’t fully helped. Rather than rushing to a diagnosis or prescription, I take time to understand the bigger picture. We may explore sleep, nutrition, stress, hormones, metabolic health, nutrient deficiencies, medications, lifestyle, relationships, and other factors that can influence how you feel. When appropriate, treatment may include psychiatric medication, psychotherapy, targeted nutritional or lifestyle strategies, supplements, laboratory evaluation, or a thoughtful combination of approaches. I also have a special interest in helping people who want to better understand their medications, reduce unnecessary medication burden, or explore carefully planned tapering when clinically appropriate. You deserve a space where you can ask questions, understand your options, and participate fully in decisions about your care. My goal is not simply to help you feel “less symptomatic,” but to understand what may be contributing to how you feel and build a treatment plan that makes sense for you and your life.

Are you in your 40's and 50's looking for support with your relationship, parenting, aging parents? Do you feel like you "have it all" and want to feel better? I specialize in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Oriented Therapy, which have been proven to deliver optimal clinical results and foster rapid improvement. By integrating a humanistic approach and Adlerian style, I create sessions intending to make you feel supported and empowered to address your concerns. Drawing from my rich life experiences, I work to understand the complexities of life's journey and bring a deep commitment to social awareness and justice to our work together. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, or other challenges, I'm here to guide you toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and fulfillment. As a lifelong learner and advocate for staying current with the latest therapeutic techniques, I prioritize attending workshops and collaborating with colleagues to ensure I'm equipped with the most effective approaches to therapy. Additionally, staying abreast of the social climate enables me to understand the world you inhabit. Together, we'll navigate your challenges with empathy, insight, and the most relevant tools available.

Hi! I’m Dr. Chisato Hotta, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, author, speaker, and neurodivergent therapist. I’m also an ADHD mom raising autistic twin boys, the voice behind **Therapist Mama Bear & 2 Ausome Cubs**, and the co-founder and co-owner of Kindful Place Therapy Center. I provide virtual therapy for children who can participate in telehealth, teens, adults, and parents. My specialties include autism, ADHD, anxiety, overwhelm, emotional regulation, relationships, life transitions, parenting neurodivergent children, and helping parents or co-parents get on the same page. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, collaborative, and neurodiversity-affirming. I’m big on asking, **“What’s underneath this?”** Rather than simply trying to stop a behavior or “fix” a person, we’ll work together to understand what is happening, identify what you truly need, and find practical strategies that fit your actual life. What makes my work unique is the combination of clinical training and lived experience I bring into the room. Sessions with me are warm, genuine, and judgment-free. Therapy can be hard, but it doesn’t have to feel heavy ALL the time—there’s always room for a little laughter too! :) Services are available in English and Japanese.
