About Me

MINA SKOUTELAKIS, M.S., LMFT

I graduated with a Master of Science degree in Psychology from Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo in 1999. I am licensed by the State of California as a Marriage and Family therapist and have been practicing as a therapist for over 20 years. My experience includes providing psychotherapy at Kaiser Permanente Adult Mental Health departments, County Mental Health clinics, Elementary school settings, and private practice.

My therapy practice is focused on resolving loss and grief, depression, anxiety in it's many forms, self-esteem issues, and recovery of traumatic events through the use of EMDR and Emotional Freedom Technique. Both of these healing processes address how events impact our physical, mental, and emotional states and they utilize the body's own innate healing capabilities to restore the nervous system for greater well-being on all levels.

My goal is to offer leading, cutting edge treatments that go beyond traditional talk therapies and help my clients experience transformation that is truly life-changing.
