My name is Jin Niki, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with cross-state licensure in California and Nevada. I work with a wide range of populations and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and distressful life transitions. I am a firm believer that in order to achieve overall wellness, one must place priority on creating a life that feels good on the inside rather than a life that appears good from the outside. The wider the discrepancy between the two, the greater the distress from emotional pain.

Are you feeling depressed or unsure how to manage your anxiety? Hello, I'm Jamie Sepulveda, LCSW. I provide therapy to individuals who may be feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, and who have lost connection with what is important to them. My approach to therapy is warm, kind and respectful. The focus of therapy is for a client to develop deeper self-awareness through exploring their feelings, understanding their thoughts and behaviors. Through this process a client can expect to identify what contributes to these feelings; as well as establish new ways to respond to life's stressors.

In every psychotherapy session there is a place where the client and therapist meet and come alive in the present moment. This is the place that I work from. I achieve this through active dialogue, attentive listening and creative exchange. I think it is essential to offer a space where you can feel safe to be honest about what is happening in your life. Whether you're dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, depression or struggling with a life transition, it is the relationship between you and me that leads to insight and healing.

I’m changing what I’ve written here. The world feels like a dumpster fire and I’m human enough to admit it. Are you feeling anxious and depressed? Do you need a safe space to talk about the frustration and fears you’re facing? I want to offer you that. We have been called resilient in the face of adversity for so long. And it’s intensely tiring to be glorified and honored for a having survival response. That’s what it is- survival. Therapy can be a place where you can leave your resiliency at the door and share your vulnerabilities.

To do this, I assist my clients in first gaining an understanding of what has—and what has not—been going well for them. I then work actively to assist my clients develop and strengthen skills to use in their daily lives that will help them not only feel better in the short term, but feel more able to take on life’s many challenges. Throughout this process, I seek to create a warm, safe, and enjoyable space where clients feel free to laugh, cry, learn, and ultimately grow.

Our work will empower you to create a community outside of the therapy room. By healing your relationship with yourself, you will start to feel more confident about navigating mental health challenges that keep you isolated and fearful.
