Octavia Macklin (LMFT)

I am a licensed therapist in California with three years of clinical experience and over a decade of prior work in addiction recovery. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges related to relationships, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is direct, experiential, humanistic, and grounded in authenticity. I strive to create an open, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from various modalities based on each person’s unique needs—because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. In addition to my general practice, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be especially helpful for those working through trauma or deeply rooted emotional patterns. At the core of my work is the belief that you are the expert on your life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide, helping you discover clarity, resilience, and meaningful change. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m here to honor that by supporting and empowering you on your journey toward a more fulfilling life.
