Since returning to sunny California and transitioning into private practice approximately 12 years ago, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, presenting with various mental health concerns.

Hello and welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Dr. Gemma Andaya, and I’m a licensed psychotherapist who provides therapy to clients in California and Nevada. My work focuses on supporting neurodivergent adults—including individuals with ADHD and autism—who may be navigating anxiety, burnout, sensory overwhelm, life transitions, or relationship challenges.Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, deeply perceptive individuals who have spent years trying to fit into environments that didn’t always understand how their minds naturally work. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself constantly. Together, we can slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop practical tools that help you move through life with greater clarity, balance, and self-trust.
