Mariah Larkin

Mariah Larkin brings a warm, interactive style to work with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. With 30 years as a licensed clinician, she focuses on helping people build authentic lives in which they can be comfortable and successful while honoring who they are.

She has experience supporting clients from alternative and creative lifestyles and notes a specialty in male psychology. Mariah blends training from both Eastern and Western psychological traditions gained while earning her doctorate at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Her credential is CA LMFT 27311, a California license as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Mariah offers both longer-term exploration and shorter-term, skills-based work depending on each person’s needs. For deeper exploration she may draw on Jungian approaches and dream work to examine unconscious roots. For more focused healing she uses Brainspotting, Music Imagery Therapy, and cognitive tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address trauma and PTSD. She is also trained to help clients shift unsatisfying relationship patterns and integrate meditation, spiritual, and metaphysical resources when appropriate.

In sessions she creates a safe, empathic environment that encourages honest expression, grieving, stress processing, and emotional growth. Her communication style is compassionate and supportive, inviting truthfulness and offering psycho-spiritual tools clients can use outside of therapy. Mariah may share aspects of her own journey when it supports the work.

The first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, review background, and talk about what brings someone to therapy. Mariah acknowledges that first appointments can feel nerve-racking and approaches the process step by step, guiding clients as they begin building their therapeutic work together.
