Understand your patterns. Build deeper connection.
Individual and couples therapy for adults, online in California.
I’m Anisha Mistry, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California. I help adults and couples better understand their patterns, navigate life’s challenges, and work toward more connected relationships.
Therapy can be a space to slow down, gain clarity, and work on meaningful changes. I work with adult individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and navigate life’s challenges.
My approach is collaborative, warm, and practical. With over ten years of experience working with many kinds of couples and completed Gottman Levels 1 and 2 training, I bring attention to both the patterns you want to understand and the skills you want to practice.
When the same conversation keeps ending in frustration, it can help to look at the cycle together. Explore communication, conflict, emotional distance, trust, and the changes you are navigating as partners.
Gottman-informed work offers practical ways to explore friendship, conflict management, and shared meaning, shaped around your relationship and goals.
You do not need a partner in the room to work on connection. Make space to explore your own patterns, boundaries, difficult decisions, and the ways life changes affect your relationships.
We can connect reflection with practical steps: preparing for a conversation, recognizing your needs, or trying a different way of responding.
Insight is a beginning. Practice brings it into everyday life.
Understand what is happening
We start with your experience, relevant history, and what you hope will change. Together, we identify goals and discuss whether this practice is a fit.
Work with a real moment
What happens before a conversation becomes tense? What do you notice in yourself? Sessions can give you space to explore these moments and practice another response.
We return to your goals and discuss what is helping. Progress varies with your circumstances, and your feedback helps guide the work.
