Maranda Barskey
LMFT, Licensed Psychotherapist
Psychotherapy for adults and teens throughout California.
I work with people navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma, and existential concerns. Sessions are held virtually, by secure video or phone.
How I Work
Therapy with me is collaborative and relational. I don’t position myself as an authority over your experience. Instead, we slow things down and look closely at what’s happening in your inner and outer life—what’s working, what feels stuck, and what you’re longing for.
I approach therapy holistically, considering emotional, biological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of experience. Sessions are nonjudgmental and exploratory, grounded in curiosity, clarity, and respect for your nervous system and lived reality.
Mental health isn’t a fixed destination. Therapy is a process of understanding, integration, and adjustment over time—responsive to who you are and where you are now.
Background & Training
I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and an emphasis in Spiritual and Depth Psychology. I am also a certified yoga and meditation teacher and a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS).
My background includes creativity, movement, and integrative wellness, which informs an approach to therapy that honors both psychological insight and the body’s intelligence. When appropriate and with your consent, our work may gently include attention to sleep, movement, creativity, and daily rhythms as they relate to emotional well-being.
