About Mariah
Mariah Larkin is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to help clients live more authentic, satisfying lives.
Mariah draws on a range of approaches to match what each person needs. She blends client-centered presence with emotion-focused work to help people understand painful patterns. She also uses Jungian ideas and dream work when deeper exploration feels helpful.
Practical tools are part of her toolkit. She can teach mindfulness and meditation, introduce cognitive strategies, and use expressive methods like music imagery when useful. She also describes ways to bring psycho-spiritual practices into daily life for ongoing support.
Sessions are conversational and direct, with an emphasis on building trust and encouraging honesty. Mariah invites clients to speak freely about grief, identity, and shifting life roles while offering a compassionate stance.

In the first meeting she focuses on your background and what brought you to therapy. That session is a chance to set goals and decide together how to move forward. Mariah frames therapy as a step-by-step process and offers guidance as you find what works for you.
