Psychotherapy Practice – Maranda Barskey, LMFT
Maranda Barskey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT License #129848) in private practice in Pasadena, California. She holds an MA in Clinical Psychology with emphasis in Spiritual and Depth Psychology, as well as certification as an Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS). She also serves as an LMFT Supervisor. The office is located at 967 E Colorado Blvd #60412, Pasadena, CA 91106, with in-person sessions offered at that address and virtual sessions available throughout California.
The practice serves adults, couples, and teens. Clinical areas addressed include anxiety, stress, nervous system overwhelm, depression, burnout, grief, loss, life transitions, relationship dynamics, attachment, intimacy, trauma, early relational wounds, identity concerns, and existential questions. The therapeutic approach is described as collaborative psychotherapy that considers emotional, biological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions as interconnected aspects of each client’s lived experience rather than isolated concerns to be addressed separately.
Sessions are characterized as grounded, thoughtful, and individualized. When appropriate and with client consent, attention to sleep, movement, creativity, and daily rhythms may be incorporated into the therapeutic work as part of a broader view of well-being. Barskey holds credentials in yoga and meditation teaching alongside her clinical training, and this background informs the holistic orientation she brings to her practice.
Standard sessions run 50 minutes. New clients typically begin with a weekly commitment to support the development of consistent therapeutic work over time. Prospective clients may arrange a brief 10 to 15 minute consultation call before their first appointment to ask questions, learn more about the practice’s approach, and determine whether it is a good fit for their needs. The consultation call is a no-obligation step intended to make the process of starting therapy more accessible and transparent. Information about fees and insurance is available through the FAQ section of the website. Individuals with additional questions may reach the practice through the contact form. The practice serves clients both in person at the Pasadena office and virtually throughout California, offering scheduling flexibility to accommodate different situations and locations.
