Specialized Therapy for Women in California
A Safe Space to Heal, Feel, and Be Seen
If you're navigating the weight of childhood/adulthood trauma, family/relationship conflict, or just trying to feel like yourself again — you're not alone. I have years of experience effectively working with women of every background and specialize in working with women of color and women who identify as multiracial.
You Deserve to Move Forward, Not Stay Stuck
It’s easy to feel like you're stuck in a loop—especially when the weight of the past keeps holding you back. Maybe it’s childhood trauma or family issues that keep resurfacing, leaving you feeling lost or disconnected. You try to push through, but it feels like you’re running in place. You are not alone in this.
Many women experience this sense of being “stuck,” whether it’s in their relationships, career, or just trying to find peace within themselves. The emotional toll of past experiences, unresolved conflicts, or the challenge of regulating overwhelming feelings can make it difficult to move forward.
But you CAN move forward.
Therapy can be the first step toward the change you’ve been seeking.
Together, we will create a space where you feel heard and supported as you explore the roots of your struggles, gain insight, and learn healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges. Whether it’s healing from family trauma, emotional distress, navigating challenging relationships, or building your confidence back up, this is your opportunity to finally feel better.

NaTasha Bailey, LMFT
Psychotherapist and Radio Personality
Welcome! I’m Mieke.
I’m deeply passionate about supporting individuals, families, and married couples on their journey toward personal growth and healing. My goal is to partner with you as you work toward the goals that matter most to you. You most likely have some insights that can lead to creating positive change — it’s my job to help you tap into those internal resources and guide you along the way.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I approach therapy with a strengths-based mindset, believing that everyone has the potential to make lasting changes with hope, support and motivation.
Let’s work together to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
How I Can Help You
While these four services are at the heart of my work, I also offer a range of other services that may resonate with you.
Christian Counseling
I help women use their Christian faith as a foundation for healing and personal growth. For women who do not identify as Christian, I am able to support you in incorporating your personal values and perspectives into your therapy journey.
Child Custody Case Consultation
Child custody cases can be emotionally overwhelming. I offer compassionate support and child custody experience to help you manage the stress, make clear decisions, and navigate the process with confidence. Please note I am not an attorney and cannot offer legal advice. Please note that I am a former mediator and not an attorney. As a result, I cannot provide legal advice.
Anxiety & Depression Support
If anxiety or depression has you feeling stuck, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your feelings and develop strategies to end the vicious cycles of anxiety and depression. No matter how long you’ve struggled emotionally, you CAN live a more vibrant and fulfilling life.
Adult Mother-Daughter Relationship Healing
A healthy connection between adult daughters and mothers is very important. Many challenges, including past offenses and ineffective communication are barriers to mutually enjoyable connections. I work with adult daughters and mothers who are committed to cultivating a rich and satisfying relationship with one another despite a strain in the relationship.
“Our sessions gave me the courage to take a long hard look at the stories I had accepted as true about myself, my parents, my partner, my family, and challenged me to look through a different lens. From the very first session, Mieke was warm, authentic and encouraging. I appreciated that we set goals and periodically checked in to make sure we were still achieving them. The intentional conversations, guidance, and exercises helped me shift my perspective and find balance again. Mieke is truly wonderful.”
