My name is Yaj (soft j). I am an attachment & recovery based Relationship Coach (former LMFT in NY for 17 years) in Humboldt County, CA, working online & in my home office. Since 2001, my clients - couples & individuals - seek relief from chronic patterns of conflict & negativity in relationships. My work offers focused education, supportive guidance in skill training & reparative relational experiences in 75-min couple sessions, 60 min for individuals. When you show up willing to be open, even when it's hard, you discover a decrease in the suffering struggle & create safety and closeness in relationship with self, other and life.

I understand the struggles we all face. In my experience of over 30 years working in the mental health and human service fields with children, adults, couples, families and groups, I’ve developed great insight and understanding into what helps us heal. It is the relationship between the client and therapist that is of utmost importance. Most of us, grew up with unmet needs as children and/or have experienced loss and trauma and now struggle with expressing our emotions, trusting others, lack of confidence or motivation, poor self-esteem, relationship difficulty, issues w/ anger, self-doubt, poor decision making, saddness and worry.

My ideal client is a person who is struggling with how to take the "Next Step", be it a relationship crisis, career transition, health issue, loss of a pet, beloved friend or relative. My client might be stuck and wants to pursue a creative passion. My client wants to enrich their emotional, spiritual life and financial growth. My client may have one or more addictions and seeks a sober lifestyle, has tried other avenues that have failed. My client, in spite of fear, wants to move their life forward and explore the vast possibilities of positive life changes and success.

Are you having difficulty with your relationship? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? You may be fed up with the constant arguing, feeling alone and unloved, or feeling unsure about your future together. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to have good communication. You’re ready to feel reconnected with your partner. Most of all, you’re ready to feel excited about your relationship like you did when you first met.

With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I work with a wide range of human difficulties. From young adults trying to find their way, to individuals struggling with anxiety or depression, I believe that my work is to draw out the hidden potential in each person. Throughout the years I have trained in a wide spectrum of modalities, ranging from cognitive-behavioral therapy, to attachment theory and advanced work with the subconscious mind. And sometimes just talking about an issue in a safe environment, giving it words, allows the next step towards a happier life.

You’re a modern couple, building a career and a relationship. You notice the effort taking its toll. You’re ready to learn how to protect your spark, so that your love continues to thrive. Perhaps, it’s been too long since you experienced passion and fun with your partner, or you're going through a relationship crisis. You remember when things were different, and you long to be close again. Relationship troubles can de-stabilize everything in our lives; yet, there is hope! Through couple therapy, you will be able to increase your understanding of one another, and solve problems, together.

I embrace a multifaceted approach moving you forward in life and build on your strengths. I specialize in adolescents, women, family, marriage, relationships and couple's counseling." Please visit my website innerventure.net

Navigating life’s journey can be overwhelming and stressful at times, interfering with our peace of mind. I help clients access their inner strength and resources, the keys to ultimate healing. As an experienced therapist, I see every day that just as individuals are unique, life situations and how we experience them are as well. I help empower clients to overcome challenges including anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship issues, trauma, and low self-esteem in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Additionally, I work to understand how these challenges affect each client in order to determine the best therapeutic approach.

I provide a warm and supportive environment for you to feel safe, accepted, and nurtured. I view myself as an emotional guide. My intent is to follow your unique experience of thoughts, sensations, and feelings; help you deepen your understanding of yourself; and, support your inner wisdom as it leads you toward healing.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 25 years of providing mental health services to adults, couples, families & groups. My motto is Mental Health Therapy Can Benefit Everyone!!! Changes in mental health is largely about brain health by changing your thoughts and self-limiting beliefs. Thoughts impact your nervous system. Changing thoughts leads to changes in behavior. New behaviors can bring about better coping strategies, less depression & anxiety, gratefulness, and clarity of life goals for success. Based on new advances in neuroscience you can rewire your brain for happiness in love, work, family, inner peace, & finances.

Struggling with anxiety and depression despite your successes? Even as a high achiever, you might find yourself wondering how you reached this point. Despite your accomplishments, a heavy sense of guilt and sadness persists due to an inner battle. But remember, you're not alone. In my psychotherapy sessions, I offer a safe and empathetic space where you can begin your journey toward healing. For couples, I also offer specialized therapy to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and foster deeper connections.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression or major life changes? If so, the good news is that there are scientifically proven methods to help you heal and get relief from your symptoms. As a trained and experienced therapist, I can guide you on a journey of self-discovery that will ultimately help you unburden, transform and heal.

As an integrative, multi-disciplinary therapist, it's important to me that I help you unleash your true potential so you can lead a life that you want to celebrate! While we can't change difficult past situations, we can understand and resolve challenges in your life NOW. By applying integrative therapy approaches, we'll unearth whatever may be holding you back from experiencing YOUR fulfilled life. If you're looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation or just ready to move in a new direction in life, I look forward to working with you toward your aspirations.

Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10). What would abundant life look like for you? And are there any roadblocks you've encountered? For some its loss, fear, sadness, regret, shame, disappointment or a toxic relationship. I don't presume to have all of the answers, but I am here to partner with you on your journey. Whether it's discovering what your goals are, or just the cherry on the top. Counseling can be an investment in yourself and your future.

For many couples, I'm the last stop. They've been to so many therapists already that they wonder, "Why would you be any different?" It's simple: I've been there, done that. In addition to my extensive training, I understand firsthand what you're going through - whether that's dating life, an engagement, a brand new marriage, a struggling marriage, a divorce, or blending families. I know what it takes to get through it and come out stronger on the other side. And I'm proud to say I have an amazing success rate with my clients.

My view on successful psychotherapy is that it provokes insight, motivation and productivity for you, not only in session but out in life. Together we create a purely confidential, client-focused relationship to distinguish your desired outcomes. Then, using a blend of mind-body and cognitive-behavioral techniques, we explore your thoughts and how they shape the way you feel and behave. We also develop new patterns of thought and behaviors to create the way you want your life to be. Lifestyle behaviors such as diet, exercise, self-care and social interaction also come into play as they shape the whole person.

My passion is helping people improve their relationships and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are curious about how they experience the world, and who are facing challenges with major life transitions, relationships, creativity, and gender/sexuality. I also work with other dyads, such as mothers and daughters. My approach to treatment is warm and eclectic. Therapy is a space to be curious without judgment. I hope to engage you in an exploratory process to get to the root of what has been troubling you.

I have been in private practice for over 25 years providing counseling to adults, adolescents, couples and families. Although I specialize in couple and family therapy, I also have extensive experience addressing problems of anxiety depression, mood disorders, ADHD, learning and social disabilities, alcoholism and substance abuse. I also provide evaluations and treatment for individuals facing life crises such as divorce, chronic illness, infertility, adoption and job loss.
