Mariah Funderburg

Mariah Funderburg welcomes those who have taken the important first step of seeking therapy and recognizes the courage it takes to begin this work. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, practicing under the credential CA LMFT 154823, and brings three years of direct clinical experience to her work.

For the past three years Mariah has concentrated on trauma-informed psychotherapy, with a focus on reaching people in remote and underserved communities. Her approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative - she partners with each person to create a tailored treatment plan that fits their needs.

Mariah works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and challenges related to life changes. She also offers affirming, culturally sensitive care for LGBT clients and attends to identity, background, and values throughout therapy. As a female therapist who identifies as gay and who practices from a non-religious, liberal perspective, she aims to make clients feel seen and respected.

Sessions include skill teaching in areas such as stress and emotion regulation, communication, and mindfulness to help clients build resilience and move forward with greater confidence. Mariah believes clients are experts in their own lives, and her role is to help them identify strengths and practical strategies for healing and growth.

Clients seeking compassionate, trauma-informed support in California can expect steady guidance and partnership from Mariah as they work toward their goals.
