About Me

Kombai Nonnarath

Professional Counselor Associate, M.S, NCC

Growing up in Oakland as a 1st generation immigrant has deeply informed my perspective on identity, resilience, and healing. With roots in Animism and Buddhism deeply woven into the cultural and spiritual practices of my upbringing, I am inspired to carry forward the healing legacies of my family lineage.

This led me to study Human Development with a focus on working with families, eventually earning a master's degree in Marriage, Family, and Couples Counseling. My experiences living and working abroad deepened my understanding of various governing systems, enriching my work with a cross-cultural lens. I’m deeply committed to celebrating diversity, honoring individual differences, and fostering a space where growth and self-discovery can thrive.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m likely curled up with my dog, nerding out over some obscure science article, pondering existential questions for no practical reason, wandering outside like a curious naturalist, or sharing philosophical tangents over dinner with my favorite humans.

Clinical Approach

I am deeply committed to working with multicultural populations. As a relational therapist, I integrate holistic practices with evidence-based modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting. My work is rooted in both science and spirituality, guided by the belief that meaningful growth arises from a balance of support and challenge.

To me, therapy is not only a refuge but also a catalyst for change. In our work together, I will invite you to explore deeply, ask hard questions, and gently bring awareness to the patterns that may be holding you back. While this process may feel uncomfortable at times, I believe that true transformation occurs when we step outside of our comfort zones. 

My goal is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your inner wisdom and strength. I invite you to approach this journey with openness and curiosity as we navigate the complexities of your life. Together, we’ll co-create a space where you are empowered to heal, grow, and thrive.
