Oriyan Maor, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Simi Valley
Hi,
I’m Oriyan Maor
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 148443
You know that you have the power to overcome your anxiety and overwhelm – you just desire support in doing so. Lately, it’s been taking over your day to day life. Your marriage, friendships, work or family life are likely suffering due to this. It’s difficult finding the motivation to address these struggles alone. Maybe you are not sure where your life will take you or what you have to offer to the world. Perhaps you are wanting to change negative patterns or behaviors within yourself or explore these patterns with your partner. It could be that your relationship or marriage is falling apart, but you have faith that things can be resolved. You may be worried about what the future holds for you or your loved one – feeling stuck and confused with where to turn. You came to the right place for support.
Together, we can help you truly figure out where you want to go on your journey. I know it can be intimidating to get started in therapy – but you made it here, and that is truly a reason to be proud. Whether you are needing support for yourself individually or your relationship with your partner, you are not alone in this journey. It’s not a sign of weakness to seek out help. Instead, it is a sign of courage, and seeking support in this way speaks louder than words.
I am honored to be a part of my clients’ journey. My goal is to provide you and your family with a comfortable space to share your innermost thoughts and feelings without judgment; an area in which we can foster growth, healing, and empowerment together. Therapy is ultimately a personal journey of self-discovery and growth, but I will be there with you every step of the way, helping you shape the person you wish to be.
In working with couples, young adults, women, men, and teens, I foster an area for growth and self-reflection in which we can dig deeper to find the root cause of your hurt. I believe we all have the power to grow! There is always room to continue learning about yourself. You can create real change in your life and your family’s life. If you struggle with trauma, depression, or anxiety – I am here for you.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):
There may be times where you feel stuck sensing that you can only go so far. Maybe you are unsure of why you feel the way you do. Sometimes we feel like we hit a brick wall and are unsure of how to move forward. With EMDR, we can find a way to navigate those difficult blocks in a new and introspective way. I am excited to be able to offer my clients the opportunity to engage in EMDR therapy. EMDR is a unique therapeutic model that uses bi-lateral stimulation to allow the brain to process information in a way that traditional talk therapy sometimes can have difficulty accessing. With this modality, we can explore and engage with thoughts and feelings we may have otherwise not been able to access as readily. The goal is to use EMDR, combined with individualized exploration of your unique needs in order to create real, lasting change.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP):
Perhaps there have been times where you felt unsure of where to go or what to do. Maybe you feel like you’re stuck in what seems like an endless loop. You’ve tried talk therapy and possibly you’ve explored various other types of medications or modalities and still, nothing seems to work. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy can help access new pathways, open new doors. I am excited to be able to offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy to my clients as a new way to explore their innermost selves. I have undergone my own KAP journey and can speak from personal experience how impactful this modality can be. Often it is our own self-protective defenses which get in the way of our healing and growth. With KAP, we can help you bypass these defenses in order to gain new insights and understandings of yourself, which can foster deep, meaningful change in your life.
In Therapy
In the room, I aim to develop a close, personal connection with my clients. I strive to give each client the undivided attention they deserve, by providing a non-judgmental and supportive zone. It’s possible for you to feel comfortable expressing yourself and your true inner thoughts. Together, we will work as co-authors to help re-write your story and shape it into one that you prefer to live. My goal is for you to not only live, but thrive in your new found glory and empowerment of your self’s; self-confidence, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-love.
I incorporate many approaches into my work, including Bowenian and narrative therapy. At the core of my approach to therapy, I strive to help my clients recognize the power they have to write their own story and to empower them to become the person they strive to be and to create the changes they desire in their lives. In addition, I like to take a detailed look into your family history to understand relationships and connections. Sometimes our familys’ past shapes our present and future. Discovering patterns in the family may give you insight into breaking those destructive habits.
Education and Background
I received my bachelor’s degree in sociology with an emphasis in criminology at Cal State Northridge. I furthered my education with a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, in Los Angeles. During my time at TCS, I interned at Being Alive where I worked with a primarily LGBTQ+ population. I am proud to be an ally to all LGBTQ+ individuals. I also had an internship with the Magnolia School District working with families of teenagers. I have been trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, using ketamine in a therapeutic dynamic to reveal deeper insights. Additionally, I am EMDR trained through the EMDR Institute and proud to offer EMDR therapy.
