Therapy for Anxiety, Relationships & People-Pleasing
Helping you stop overthinking and start listening to your feelings so you can trust yourself & build relationships in which you matter, too.
You can be thoughtful, capable, and deeply caring, and still feel exhausted from overthinking every situation, keeping everyone happy, or trying to get relationships exactly right.
I’m Maya Nehru, LMFT, a Seattle-area therapist offering virtual therapy for adults throughout Washington and California. I help clients navigate stress and anxiety, romantic relationships, family expectations, people-pleasing, and the guilt that can come with choosing themselves.
Together, we’ll work toward stronger boundaries, greater self-trust, and relationships that feel more secure, honest, and fulfilling.
If you’re ready to transform your life, you've come to the right place.
Breathe. Explore. I’m ready when you are.
You might be here because…
Feeling Anxious or Overwhelmed?
Maybe your brain rarely turns off. You replay conversations, anticipate what could go wrong, put pressure on yourself to make the “right” decision, or feel responsible for keeping everything together. Therapy can help you understand what’s fueling the anxiety, quiet the constant overthinking, and feel more grounded and confident in yourself.
Relationships Taking Up Too Much Mental Space?
Maybe you’re constantly wondering where you stand, worrying that something is wrong, struggling to communicate what you need, or losing yourself trying to keep a relationship secure. Together we can work on the attachment patterns, fears, and relationship dynamics underneath the anxiety so you can build healthier relationships without abandoning yourself.
Can’t Say No Without Feeling Guilty?
You might know you need boundaries and still find yourself over-explaining, avoiding conflict, managing everyone else’s feelings, or saying yes when you really want to say no. Therapy can help you understand where these patterns came from, build stronger boundaries, and learn to choose yourself without feeling like you’re doing something wrong.Your healing and growth are my top priority. This is a space of authenticity, compassion, transformation, and collaboration. Let’s create a roadmap tailored to your needs so you can feel empowered to step live life freely and on your own terms.
Why Work With Me
A Therapist Who Gets It
I understand the unique pressures Millennials and Gen Z face - burnout from hustle culture, constant comparison on social media, family dynamics rooted in generational differences, and the challenge of building healthy relationships in a world that often rewards self-sacrifice. My therapy practice in California and Washington is built for people like you, people who want to heal, grow, and create a life they actually enjoy living.
Evidence-Based + Compassionate Care
Healing isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about lasting change. I combine evidence-based approaches with a warm, nonjudgmental presence. This means you’ll get practical tools to use between sessions, along with the steady support you need to face the deeper patterns that keep you stuck.
Flexible, Virtual Sessions
Life is busy, and making time for therapy should be simple. I offer online therapy across California and Washington, so you can meet from the comfort of your home, your office, or anywhere you feel safe. Virtual therapy gives you the same personalized support as in-person sessions without the commute or added stress.

Your Wellness Is Worth It.
In a world that's always on the move, have you ever paused to consider what true wellness means for you? It's about finding that sweet spot where your physical, emotional, and mental health align. It's nurturing your body, engaging your mind, and feeding your soul with experiences that light you up.
⋒ Mindful Awareness: It's easy to get lost in the hustle, but wellness encourages you to step back, breathe, and become an observer of your thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness allows you to make conscious choices that serve your well-being.
⋒ Self-Compassion: Wellness isn't about perfection; it's about embracing your imperfections and treating yourself with kindness. It's recognizing that self-care isn't selfish – it's essential. By cultivating self-compassion, you're better equipped to navigate life's challenges.
⋒ Nourishing Connections: Meaningful relationships are at the core of wellness. It's the joy of laughter with friends, the warmth of a heart-to-heart conversation, and the support of a community that understands your journey.
As your therapist, I aim to help you explore these dimensions and tailor a wellness plan that aligns with your unique needs.
