Rachyl Nyoka

Creativity is at the heart of Rachyl Nyoka’s practice, where she often invites clients to explore situations from creative and expressive angles. Rachyl specializes in working with women in their 20s-40s, highly sensitive people (HSPs), creatives and artists, and couples seeking deeper connection. She is licensed in the states of North Carolina and California as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), providing virtual therapy to clients in both locations. 

Many of Rachyl’s individual clients are intuitive, spiritual, or navigating the complexities of being multiracial or part of blended families. She also supports individuals exploring the "witch wound," shadow work, and the intersection of creativity and personal transformation. Rachyl works with couples who are committed to bridging the gap between conflict and understanding. Using tools from attachment theory, IFS, and systems thinking, Rachyl guides couples in exploring how to meet each other with curiosity, empathy, and accountability. Her clients often begin therapy when they’re ready to turn toward themselves with the same compassion they offer others. They're seeking grounding, clarity, and a way forward.

Rachyl’s diverse experience includes serving at-risk youth in community clinics, foster agencies, and schools, as well as providing in-home services for families with children on the autism spectrum. As part of her clinical training for marriage and family therapy, she worked in substance use clinics, facilitated process groups, and treated clients living with severe and chronic mental illness in a community mental health setting. 

Her theoretical background is trauma-informed and pulls from traditional Eastern healing disciplines including mindfulness and meditation, as well as Western traditions of narrative therapy, internal family systems (IFS), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). 

Rachyl earned her Master of Arts in Couple and Family Therapy from the California School of Professional Psychology, is a Certified Trauma Professional, and has advanced training in trauma, IFS, and expressive arts.
