THERAPY FOR RELATIONSHIP ANXIETY & FAMILY TRAUMA
I help people who feel lost or overwhelmed
in their relationships.
Maliyah Coye, LCSW
Online Therapist in Sacramento
I provide therapy for adults grappling with anxiety in their relationships and healing from family-related trauma.
My approach focuses on helping clients build self-esteem and
break free from the compulsion to please others, empowering them to establish healthier, more fulfilling connections.
You are enough. You deserve relationships that are calming, respectful, and loving. Your needs and intuition are to be honored, not
ignored.
What stops you from feeling
safe in relationships?
The clients I support often struggle with setting limits and seek therapy to better understand their anxiety and guilt in relationships. I provide support for individuals who find themselves constantly ruminating and reviewing their interactions, helping them find peace and clarity.
Therapy May Be for You if:
- Family members often place immense pressure on you to achieve success, leaving you feeling undervalued and unappreciated, while their absence demands that you give more than you receive.
- In your relationships, you find yourself longing for constant reassurance, or plagued by an overwhelming fear of rejection and abandonment that hinders your ability to fully connect.
- You are exhausted and overwhelmed, constantly prioritizing everyone else's needs while neglecting your own well-being.
- Feelings of anger, guilt, anxiety, and resentment have become common companions in your relationships and at work, draining your energy and peace of mind.
- By holding yourself back and playing it small, you've missed invaluable opportunities for love and career advancement.
- You experience
survivor's remorse, grappling with feelings of guilt for your own success while others around you struggle, which weighs heavily on your conscience and impedes your joy.
Feeling confidence and joy in your relationships is possible. You have an unyielding power to change, break patterns, and feel more connected and calm.

My Therapy Style
I work with people who are ready to break relationship patterns and transform how they feel in their relationships.
As a society, we are becoming more aware of how our earlier experiences in childhood shape the way we feel in our adult relationships. Some of your current survival strategies, like people-pleasing, staying quiet, and holding back might have been useful to your younger self or even your ancestors at one point in time. But it might be preventing you from fully thriving in the present. It takes time, but it is possible to tend to fearful parts that tell you to keep saying yes, even when it doesn't serve you. It can be extremely uncomfortable at first, even scary, to say 'no' or set limits with others. It requires safety and a willingness to take up space in your life. Making your needs and preferences a priority is a powerful act especially if you had to keep yourself safe by being small.
As your therapist, I will provide warmth, humor, creativity, and curiosity, and be a fierce advocate for your boundaries and needs.If you are ready to deep dive into the experiences and beliefs that are preventing you from making yourself a priority, then give me a call.
I provide
in-person counseling
in Sacramento, as well as
online therapy throughout the state of California.
When you say yes to others, make sure
you aren’t
saying
no to yourself.
