A place to reset and feel like yourself again

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, providing therapy in-person in Walnut Creek and online throughout California. I can help you manage anxiety, burnout, and relationship issues.

You’re doing everything you’re supposed to, but you still don’t feel okay.

Maybe you lie awake at night replaying the day, your brain stuck on a loop of worries, to-dos, or awkward moments. Or maybe you’re powering through just fine on the outside, but underneath, you feel anxious, disconnected, or low-key overwhelmed. You might be telling yourself it’s just a rough patch. That other people have it worse. That you should be able to handle this.

But something isn’t working. You feel stuck. Tired. Out of sync with yourself.

In my practice, I work with people who are holding it together on the outside, but everything feels harder than it should be on the inside. Maybe it’s stress from work, racing thoughts you can’t shut off, or relationships that leave you second-guessing yourself. Whatever it is, I get how exhausting it can be to keep pushing through.

Services & Solutions

I offer individual therapy in Walnut Creek and online that’s grounded, practical, and tailored to what actually helps you feel better. I use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, strength-based work, and EMDR depending on what feels most useful for where you are right now and your goals.

Emily Kitts Therapy Helps You Heal

Hi, I’m Emily Kitts, a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Walnut Creek, California. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, or relational struggles that feel heavy and hard to untangle.

In session, I bring a steady, down-to-earth presence. I offer helpful tools, ask thoughtful questions, and give honest feedback without pressure or judgment. As a stress management therapist, I’ll help you slow down, sort out what feels off, and start taking steps to move through what’s weighing on you.

Whether you are looking for a therapist specializing in anxiety, career stress, unresolved trauma, or challenges in marriage or connection, the goal is always the same: to help you feel more clear, more understood, and more like yourself again.
