Holistic therapy for a more connected life.

Juniper Sky is a collective of therapists in California specializing in relationships, family and parenthood, trauma, anxiety, life transitions and grief, neurodivergence and LGBTQI+ support.

Welcome, we’re Juniper Sky. 

We’re a collective of therapists serving individuals and couples in California. 

We believe meaningful change begins with understanding our inner workings—our patterns, blocks, and the systems that shape us. Through practical, somatic, and relational work, we help expand awareness and open the door to greater choice and intentionality.

Our values


Holistic

Rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation, we take into account the whole person - mind, body, emotions and spirit. We weave together a variety of modalities such as Gestalt, inner child work, narrative therapy, EFT and more. Our goal isn’t purely symptom relief, it’s supporting you in feeling more like yourself.

Curiosity

Curiosity is at the heart of what we do. We force ourselves to suspend solutions, judgement or critique and instead invite in a pause and openness. By doing this, we create space for new possibilities to emerge—one small, everyday moment at a time.

Systems thinkers

We specialize in identifying the underlying systems shaping both individual and relational dynamics, and in translating abstract emotional experiences into clear, grounded frameworks that people can truly work with. As we deepen our self understanding, we expand our capacity for intentionality, connection, and choice.

Depth oriented

We have a commitment to depth, growth and authenticity. We support clients who are willing to be held with care and gently challenged. We love working with people who are interested in their life’s journey and have a desire to evolve.

We work with couples and individuals, relationally

Esther Perel said, “the quality of our lives directly depends on the quality of our relationships”. At Juniper Sky, we believe that the self is fundamentally shaped by relationships. Our hope for you is that therapy leaves you feeling more connected to yourself but also more connected to your people. Here are some outcomes our clients often see in their relationships:


High-level self awareness

Understanding your patterns and patterns within your relationships, both helpful and harmful ones. 

Communication skills

Figuring out your needs, wants and boundaries and then expressing them with respect and clarity. 

Emotional regulation

Being with feelings rather than being hijacked by them to respond adaptively rather than react. 

Healthy conflict

Disagreements are inevitable. Build the capacity to repair and reconnect rather than fight, flight or freeze.

More connection

Earning secure attachment is possible with a more stable internal world.

Finding joy

Therapy is ultimately in service of feeling lighter, more easeful and more regulated - more able to appreciate life.

Areas of focus
