You may have recently discovered that your partner has been engaging in addictive or sexually compulsive behaviors. Or you may have known for a long time that something did't feel right. Whether you have decided to leave or stay, you will need support and a safe place to process all the conflicting emotions. I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from relational traumas. This may include infidelity, addictions, and sexually compulsive behaviors. Give me a call and we can see if I am the person to help you begin healing.

I am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). I help people who have experienced trauma heal from what happened and grow from it, too. I love working with teens, adults, parents, and couples. Our therapeutic relationship is the most important thing to me, and I work hard to create a space where clients can learn to trust. I am a Licensed Marriage and (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)) in California. I have also worked with individuals who need support as they move through life changes and transitions.

If you and your partner keep having the same fight, just with different words, that usually isn't a communication problem. It's an old wound running the show. I'm Yaji Tramontini, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and I help couples and individuals across California break out of painful, repeating patterns, break down the energetic walls that keep you disconnected, and truly reconnect. Whether you're stuck in constant reactivity, walking on eggshells, drifting apart, or navigating divorce, co-parenting, or high-conflict family dynamics, my work is about helping you calm the intensity, rebuild safety and trust, and reconnect in a way that lasts. Relationship pain is often driven by deeper, unhealed experiences, so alongside couples work, I use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to resolve trauma at the root. I've practiced EMDR since 2010, with more than 20,000 clinical hours, and I'm an Approved Clinical Supervisor. I also work one-on-one with parents in resist-refuse dynamics (sometimes called parental alienation). When a child is resisting or refusing contact, the most powerful thing a parent can do is regulate their own nervous system, so they can respond to their child, the other parent, and the courts from a grounded, steady place. I help you build that. My approach is holistic and spiritually integrated. I draw on somatic and attachment-based work, mindfulness, and transpersonal psychology, honoring both your logic and your intuition, emotions, and spiritual life. Everything is 100% online, so you can do this meaningful work from anywhere in California. If any of this sounds like you, reach out for a free 20-minute consultation.

With life comes pain and frustration, but learning how to cope is what aides in long-term happiness. I am here to help you achieve your short and long-term goals with your career, relationshipsfamily, and personal growth. Additionally, in over close to a decade of working in the field, I have found that addictions of all kind are prevalent no matter who you are or where you come from. Often overlooked is that depression andor anxiety are the source of addiction. Understanding ourselves and working on what parts of ourselves hinder our progress in life is essential in creating and maintaining change. Helping individuals and building meaningful relationships is my ultimate passion in life.

Therapy for Adults of Emotionally Immature Parents: Did you grow up feeling like the adult in your family because your parents were emotionally immature? Maybe you were the peacekeeper, the responsible one, or the person who managed everyone else’s emotions. Maybe you learned early on that expressing your needs led to guilt, criticism, or being ignored. Now, as an adult, you might struggle with people-pleasing, guilt when setting boundaries, or a feeling that your needs are “too much.” You may want healthier relationships, more confidence in yourself, and the freedom to stop carrying emotional responsibilities that were never yours. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, and I focus on helping adults who were raised by emotionally immature parents. Together, we explore how early family dynamics shaped your patterns today, and we work toward healthier boundaries, stronger self-trust, and a clearer sense of who you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and paced to help you feel safe and supported. Growing up with emotionally immature parents can leave deep and confusing wounds, but healing is possible. Therapy can help you release old patterns, reconnect with your needs, and build healthier relationships. You don’t have to sort through this alone. I would be honored to support you. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.

I absolutely love my job as a therapist and truly enjoy being able to help others reach a high level of satisfaction in their careers and in their personal relationships. My approach is mostly collaborative-I believe in tailoring my treatment plan for each individual patient with their input and coordinating care with other health care providers, when appropriate.

You may be feeling exhausted by the same painful patterns repeating in your relationship. Perhaps conversations turn into arguments, trust has been damaged, emotional closeness has faded, or despite loving one another, you feel increasingly alone together. You may also be carrying stress, anxiety, or personal pain that is affecting how you relate to the people you care about most. When people reach out for therapy, it is often not because they have failed, it is because something important matters enough to seek help. My role is to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface of the conflict, distance, or distress. Often the visible problem is only part of the story. Underneath recurring arguments or emotional shutdown are patterns shaped by unmet needs, protective reactions, old wounds, and ways of coping that once made sense but no longer serve the relationship. In our work together, I help you slow the cycle down, understand it more clearly, and begin responding differently. Therapy becomes a place where blame can soften, communication can improve, and meaningful change can begin. If we are working as a couple, I help each partner feel more understood while also creating accountability for the changes needed to move forward. If I am working with you individually, I help you identify recurring patterns, strengthen boundaries, process emotional pain, and build a more grounded relationship with yourself and others. My style is warm, thoughtful, and engaged. I am compassionate, but I am also active in the process. I will help guide conversations, notice patterns that may be difficult to see from the inside, and offer practical ways to create change. Clients often appreciate that our work is not only supportive, but purposeful. I draw from evidence-based and relational approaches, including attachment-based therapy, emotionally focused work, systems thinking, and practical communication strategies. Rather than forcing people into a formula, I tailor therapy to the needs of the person or couple sitting in front of me. Healing often begins when people feel understood and challenged in the right ways at the same time. If your relationship feels stuck, distant, or strained, meaningful change is possible.

You may find yourself in unsatisfying relationships and unable to make decisions. Becoming stuck can lead to a host of destructive thoughts and emotions that if left unattended can greatly decrease your quality of life. I am highly skilled in helping others gain awareness and live by healthy boundaries, thereby increasing self-esteem and self-worth. I would be happy to help you on your journey of self-discovery and renewal. Through the therapeutic relationship, I offer an empathic and empowering setting to explore, process, and grow in order to achieve a rewarding life. For teens, this time is an exciting transition between childhood and adulthood. Forming your own identity and achieving independence is the primary goal. You may be faced with many decisions, while at the same time, are increasingly aware of how others, especially peers, see you. Therapy can help in navigating through this with the purpose of increasing self-awareness and fostering healthy decision making. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental and supportive environment to assist you in finding healthy avenues to express thoughts and feelings.

My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families who find themselves stuck in patterns, yet no matter how much insight they gain, still struggle to break free. These patterns often show up as repeated conflicts in relationships, infidelity, emotional shutdowns, avoidance, people-pleasing, impulsivity, substance use, or coping strategies that feel out of alignment with the life they want to lead. Whether you’re an individual wrestling with internal contradictions, a couple caught in reactive cycles, or a family overwhelmed by disconnection, we share a common yearning: a desire for authentic connection, love, and peace within. Drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment theory, and holistic, energetic-based modalities, I help clients explore the internal systems and relational dynamics that shape their current struggles. This work can help you see your patterns with more clarity and compassion, freeing you to make new choices rooted in values rather than fear or habit. It’s important to understand that all behaviors, even the most harmful, often arise from an attempt to cope, survive, or self-soothe. Together, we can explore the deeper needs beneath the behavior, address what’s driving it, and work toward healing the wounds that fuel it. It would be my honor to support you on this journey, and I look forward to connecting with you.

I am a bilingual and bicultural psychologist, providing therapy in Farsi and English. With close to 20 years of experience, I have found that the power of the therapeutic process itself plays a key role in giving clients the energy and emotional resources they need to deal with the content of their lives. As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, and complex relationship dynamics. My approach fosters deep self-awareness, individuation, and the ability to set firm, healthy boundaries. I work with young adults to clarify their values, cultivate fulfilling relationships, and develop a strong sense of agency. Rooted in self-psychology and enriched by a broad theoretical foundation, my work is dedicated to facilitating meaningful, lasting transformation. Through this process, we uncover what lies beneath repeated emotional crises and recognize the larger dysfunctional patterns that have shaped their lives.
