From the outside, you're managing. Work gets done, people get what they need from you. But it's been heavy lately, or loud in your head, and you've been carrying it alone.
Individual therapy is time that is only about you. One therapist, one focus: what you're carrying, and what you want to be different. You don't need the right words to start. Tell us about why you're here, and we'll take it from there.
What individual therapy is
Time of your own.
In individual therapy, you meet one-on-one with your therapist. What you talk about is up to you: something specific that brought you in, or something you've never quite said out loud. Your therapist works at your pace, not a script's.
Built on your strengths.
We start with what's already working in you, even when it doesn't feel like much. Our approach is strengths-based, which means you don't sit in the room as the problem. Needing support doesn't mean something is wrong with who you are.
Focused work, checked openly.
Therapy here isn't a standing appointment with no end in sight. Your therapist will talk openly with you about how the work is going and what makes sense next.
- Worry or anxiety runs in the background of everything, even the good days.
- Work has been taking more than it gives back, and the tiredness doesn't sleep off.
- Life has changed shape: a new role, a new city, a relationship starting or ending, a family growing or shrinking.
- You're a young adult in the in-between years, and the ground feels less steady than you expected.
- You've been the steady one for everyone else, and you'd like one place where you don't have to be.
Adults of every background are welcome here. If something specific is weighing on you, see how we work with anxiety, burnout and work stress, ADHD, and grief and loss. And if the work turns out to involve the people around you, we can help there too: couples therapy for you and a partner, or family therapy when it's about the whole household.
What to expect
Starting therapy for yourself can be the hardest version of the first step: nobody is making you do it. Here is exactly what happens, so there are no surprises:
- 1
Reach out.
Fill out our short contact form or call us. Tell us about why you're here, in your own words. No clinical language needed. Do you have a preferred therapist? You can tell us that too.
- 2
We coordinate for you.
A care coordinator, not a therapist, follows up to talk through therapist fit, language preferences, availability, and cost. You choose from there. Scheduling and cost questions stay with our care team, so your therapist's room stays for therapy.
- 3
Meet your therapist.
A consultation is available before you commit, so you can see whether the fit feels right.
- 4
Begin.
Your first sessions are about your therapist getting to know you, your story, and what you want to change. From there, you'll work at a pace that fits your life.
Our approach
Nabi is a practice that works with whole families, and that shapes how we work with you on your own. Your therapist pays attention to the life your days actually sit inside: the relationships, the roles, the culture and generational stories that made you, and the expectations you carry from all of them. The focus stays on you. The understanding is bigger than you alone.
We take time to match you with a therapist who fits, including language. Depending on the therapist, sessions are available in Korean, Mandarin, or Taiwanese.
Therapy here is not about finding out what's wrong with you. It's about understanding yourself more honestly, and practicing something different, at your own pace.
Who you'll work with
Nabi Family Therapy is a group practice of experienced therapists across four California offices. Our team includes licensed therapists and supervised associate therapists, and therapy for adults on their own is a full part of what we do. We match you with the therapist who fits, rather than asking you to figure that out alone.

Your therapist will talk openly with you about what makes sense for you.
Requests go through our care team, who coordinate scheduling with you. There is no instant online booking, on purpose: matching comes first.

We provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

Questions
FAQs
Nabi is a family practice. Do you see adults on their own?+
Yes. Children, teens, and whole families are who we work with most, and therapy for adults on their own is a full part of what we do. You don't need to bring anyone with you, and you don't need a family-shaped reason to come. This time is yours.
Do I have to talk about my family?+
No. What you bring to therapy is up to you. Family, work, relationships, or none of the above: your therapist follows what matters to you, not a set agenda.
What if I don't know how to explain what's going on?+
You don't need the right words to start. Tell us about why you're here, even if it's just "something feels off," and we'll take it from there.
Can I do therapy online?+
In-person sessions are available at our four California offices. We also offer secure online therapy for clients who are physically in California or Oregon.
How much does it cost?+
Cost depends on the therapist you're matched with and whether insurance applies. Our care coordinator will go over the numbers with you before your first session, so there are no surprises.
You deserve a place where you belong, exactly as you are.
When you're ready, reach out and tell us about why you're here. Our care team will take it from there.
