with Rima Danielle Jomaa, MFT*

Maybe you feel stuck in life, like you can’t switch gears, you’re on auto-pilot, repeating the same patterns and habits you always have.

Sure - you’re functioning…

but you’re not fulfilled in the way you thought you would at this point in your life.

Perhaps you struggle with:

• The anxiety you experience on a daily level that is overwhelming and you can’t focus on anything else

• The daily tasks that keep piling up and you’re not able to feel happy with where you’re at in life

• Comparing yourself to everyone else in your life, wondering why you’re not there/like them

• Trauma, abuse or addiction and you’re ready to move on

• Managing/navigating your family or personal relationships

• Setting boundaries in your life with family, friends, partners & coworkers

• Communicating effectively in your various relationships to the point where you feel hopeless

• Simply feeling happy in general

Now, you’re ready to change your reality, but you need some help getting “unstuck” and moving forward.

Therapy is YOUR Solution

Working with a mental health professional creates a safe, designated, confidential space in your week for you to explore the right solutions to these problems.

In a short amount of time, you’ll understand your struggles with more clarity AND you’ll acquire practical tools to use to turn struggles into LIFE BALANCE.

Why choose Rima?

I'm Rima Danielle Jomaa and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist from California. I only teach what I know works because I implement the tools personally or they’ve been tested for years with the clients I’ve worked with. I know how to deliver them to you efficiently & to meet YOU where you’re at in your process - not where I think you should be. I live in pursuit of my dreams and I help others heal from their past so they can do the same.

I get what it means to struggle, to sacrifice, and to live with courage. I know what it takes to live an authentic and honest life - and it’s not easy. I actively set boundaries and communicate regularly with those around me. I’ve worked hard on my own personal journey (and still do!) to understand, learn and change my existence to a way that best suits me. I help my clients learn to do the same in their lives in a way that is respectful and enjoyable.

How I Work

My clients enjoy the warm rapport they have with me. I approach each client from a unique perspective as each client is unique. I collaborate with them to understand their needs and goals, and from there I create a treatment plan that is special for them. I believe that each client has a story that can be retold in a new way, and a story that is still being written, so the middle and ending can change as the client transforms.

I help clients tap into their own power and become their best versions of themselves. I teach them about their strengths, especially the ones they think are weaknesses (like being overly sensitive, for example). I help clients build community and find depth, meaning and purpose in their lives.

Approach

The approaches I use are a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, humanistic & narrative theories, hypnotherapy, mindfulness techniques, positive psychology, Gottman approaches for relationship issues, as well as various techniques from other theories (as appropriate for the client).

Now Accepting Insurance

I now accept Aetna and Optum insurance plans. Please contact me to check eligibility!

Telehealth / Teletherapy / COVID-19

I have a 100% VIRTUAL psychotherapy practice (aka telehealth or teletherapy). I’ve worked online since 2018. Due to COVID-19 concerns and the rapidly changing landscape we live in, teletherapy is becoming the NORM versus a “last resort” option. This makes me an EXPERT in telehealth. I have experience in leveraging the challenges of telehealth and capitalizing on the benefits so you won’t feel like you’re compromising a thing. Read my reviews below to see what clients say!

Hypnotherapy

I am a trained hypnotherapist as well, and offer personalized hypnotherapy sessions for just about any topic or issue you’d like to address.

Popular topics include:

• Confidence/Self-esteem

• Social Anxiety

• Healthy eating

• Weight Loss

• Sleep difficulties

• Quit smoking/drinking

• Forgiveness

• Releasing anger

• Perfectionism

• Past Life Regression (PLR)

• Improve skills with instruments or sports (like guitar or surfing or whatever!)

• and more!

Psychedelic Integration

I assist clients with psychedelic integration of ayahuasca, mushrooms and other plant medicines. If you are preparing to work with plant medicines or you have already and you are seeking support from a qualified psychotherapist who’s familiar with the work, don’t hesitate to contact me. In 1-3 sessions, we can help you prepare or process your experience & make a plan for success moving forward.

Plus, I’ll always be here on your team moving forward to support you on your path.

Certified Gottman Leader

As far as relationships go, I study and use Dr. Gottman's methods and I am a certified Gottman Leader. He is often called the "love doctor" because of his decades of extensive research on love & relationships.

The first step towards healing and living a fulfilling and enriching life is to reach out to those who can support you, and I'm always honored to provide that support to my clients. If you feel like I could be the person to help you, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Vegan Ally

I’ve been an ethical vegan for 12 years. I understand on a deep level the plight of vegans and animal activists and would be honored to work with anyone on this path.

Together, my clients and I create magic!

Live the Life of your Dreams

I'm not special, but I often hear from others how “lucky” I am because of the life I’ve created and my ability to be happy in my life and in my relationships. But the thing is - LUCK has nothing to do with it. Perspective is key, and within you lies the power to truly take control of your life.

I help clients tap into that power.

I specialize in helping you will find new ways to experience your life and ways to rewrite your story. Like a car, YOU need regular care, attention & maintenance. We look after our kids, our homes, our careers, and most of our personal possessions, but unfortunately, we're not always the best at mental, emotional & spiritual hygiene.

And it's NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF! We've ALL been there, myself included! Trust me when I say that it's ALWAYS a work in progress.

If you're committed to your SELF, I can help you learn how to see things differently and make a few tweaks in your day-to-day living to help you go from stress, anxiety and overwhelm to happy, fulfilled and in control. YOU deserve it!
