    From the owner: People deserve lives of great intimacy with love and authentic connection. Sometimes for a variety…read moreof reasons, people struggle to gain the intimacy and touch they need in their lives. Often this is due to life events that leave us fearful, and make connections more difficult as a result. Unfortunately, this cuts us off from what we need when we need it most. This is where I come in. I teach people how to feel safe again, and to create safety for themselves wherever they go. I teach boundaries and consent, and help people find their powerful NO so they may have an empowered YES. I help remove trauma from the body and offer energy-based healing and somatic coaching sessions. Many of my clients struggle from trauma and not being able to access their full pleasure and enjoy vibrant intimacy with others. I offer unique solutions that work wonders for a great many. My intimacy healing sessions are designed to help people who no longer feel fully safe in the bedroom. These sessions are best done in person but can be done remotely as well. These sessions are typically 2 1/2 hours in duration. I also offer relationship coaching including couples relationship intimacy coaching and polyamory coaching. If you are looking to explore elements of kink I teach this also.

    Dr. Sayaka has literally been nothing short of a LIFE CHANGER for my husband and I, individually…read moreand as a married couple together. I am aware her main focus is sexual therapy, but she's also an excellent individual and couples relationship therapist, so please consider her if you need that, as well. A note for those afraid of or think therapy is not for them: Luckily, my husband and I have never had hangups about seeking professional assistance off and on when we get "stuck." We've seen a variety of therapists throughout our relationship from about year #2 on. That sounds like we have major issues, but we really don't. We are 16+ years into our very happy and successful monogamous relationship. We love and respect each other, we are each others' best friend, and we enjoy each other's company more than anyone else's on this planet - and always have. We live, work, and spend ~23 hours of every day together - BY CHOICE. No relationship is or can be perfect, but that hasn't stopped us from trying! When we identify an issue that keeps popping up and can't seem to work it out ourselves, we seek help to get past it. We love and respect each other so much that we know it is important. We aren't egotistical enough to think going to therapy is weak or that if we can't work it out on our own, it is not meant to be. We realize that couples who have issues and choose NOT to seek help are the ones that don't value their relationship. We value ours so much that seeking help is a no-brainer and it has always served us well. Having said that, of all the therapists we have seen, Dr. Sayaka has been the best, hands down. She has helped us both individually and in sessions together to fix some MAJOR life-long issues we each have that affected our relationship together and with others. There has to come a time when you "graduate," as she calls it, and while we both would still enjoy fine tuning ALL of our issues, Dr. Sayaka gleefully told us one day that we've graduated and there is no need to come in for regular sessions anymore. In our experience, this is unheard of; almost all therapists are happy to continue to take your money as long as you want to give it. Dr. Sayaka was goal oriented in her approach and knew further sessions would have diminishing returns since we had both grown so much individually and together over the 1.5 year we spent with her. She pushed us out of her nest! Between the two of us, we worked on issues such as letting go of childhood trauma, abandonment issues, alcoholic tendencies, anger, unrealistic expectations, getting closer and deeper emotionally, being vulnerable in general and with others, trust, not needing other's approval and wanting everyone to like you, respecting individual time/needs, perfectionism, and more. We covered a lot of ground and we each have grown a TON. And, so yes, sex is also much better since we are closer. It's all actually pretty amazing. You have to be willing to show up, do the work, and be active in your growth along the way to see the amount of change we have seen. But, it's worth the investment in time and money if you are at a point where you are ready for REAL change. Many people WANT change, but aren't willing to work for it or move through the uncomfortableness needed to achieve it. We were both there and willing, so we saw the results with her guiding us every step of the way. Now that we have graduated, we still practice the homework she assigned us, which is key to having lasting results. We love it though and it doesn't feel like homework; it feels like we get to play fun games together and benefit from them - a win-win! We even proactively share some of the exercises with our friends because we have seen such amazing results from them. I could go on and on about Dr. Sayaka, but in short, if you're stuck, you want change, are willing to work for it, and don't know where to start...RUN (don't walk) to Dr. Sayaka. She will greet you with her warm compassion and smile. She will be direct, present and compassionate. She will sit silently holding a space for you as long as you need and even cry with you through the uncomfortable times and the great breakthroughs. She is emotionally intelligent, as well as very intuitive. She is NOT a normal therapist; I'd put her up against anyone out there...and I have been to MANY therapists in the past. She is the one who has "fixed" us, individually and together, for now. We both have an easily accessible armory of tools to refer to when our instincts kick back in and we could not be more grateful to her for that. Will we likely see her again? Yes. Because we don't have expectations we won't have something in 5 or 10 years that comes up as our lives change that will benefit from an outside impartial professional. But, I can honestly say that I look forward to that day. If you are not growing and changing for the better, what are you doing with your life? And with growth, comes growing pains. It's OK. GO SEE HER.

    OMG! Doctor Sayaka has transformed our marriage. "You don't know what you don't know" was the adage…read moreI leaned on when we sought a sex therapist to see what we could learn. Wow, our expectations have been far exceeded. If you live anywhere in San Diego county, you should book a session with Dr Sayaka.

    Dr. Nikolaidis has been my psychologist for the past two years. His work with me has been a true…read morelife changer. If you truly want help and want to make progress in your life then you are at the right place. In the years I have been working with Dr. Nikolaidis, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Dr. Nikolaidis has changed my life. He can change your life too. Here is my personal timeline. The first step of course is to realize that you need some help. For me I had issues with anger. When I first met with Dr. Nikolaidis, he made me feel very comfortable. Our first few conversations did not deal directly with my issue... Or so I thought. After just a few sessions Dr. Nikolaidis started sharing his conceptualization of the events in my life I was struggling with. Dr. Nikolaidis has a way of explaining WHY. Once we were able to focus on the why, Dr. Nikolaidis then started to teach me Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I was at first hesitant. Once I started using it though I came to realize how well it was working. Each session I practiced with Dr. Nikolaidis how to approach different situations and how to view them. All of a sudden every single day I noticed I was less angry. Then I was even less angry. Then it got to the point to where something that normally would make me go ballistic, I was able to rationally break it down and conceptualize myself. Dr. Nikolaidis has changed my life for the the better. This is truly the man you want to see if you want a true change.

    Seems like all of the reviews here are at least 6 years old? Strange…read more.. Not sure about the classes or the instructors, but be advised that the online signup form on the website signs you up for livestream yoga only, not in person. Should have paid closer attention to the confirmation I received, which provides a link! Guys, I'm not sure why people would want to pay $26/session for a zoom yoga class. I might as well just watch a free YouTube! Apparently the in person studio is/was going to be closed, according to my son who mistakenly went there in person. Thank you for making us all aware of this on your website! A little sneaky...

    My experience with Triad Yoga began a few years ago because my friend took courses there and…read morebecause it was so conveniently located near my office. They offer a beginner's special - an unlimited two weeks for $25. As with any of Triad's classes, there is no need to register or sign up in advance. Just show up before the class starts and a little earlier if you need to handle payment of any kind. Parking can be hard to find at ground-level immediately in front of the studio but there is ample underground parking. The space is small and almost all yoga studio. The rear has a restroom and the front contains a small waiting room with cubbies for your personal belongings and the supplies - blocks, cords, and mats. In those first two weeks, I was tepid and only attended two low level classes. They were not physically taxing, but at the same time, I was limited by my lack of knowledge by the poses and was poorly imitating those around me. They were, however, extremely relaxing and a good way of mentally detaching from work and reality. At the beginning of each course, the instructors ask who is brand new, presumably so they can provide extra guidance to those students. In hindsight, I would comment that the instructors always asked the question but rarely assisted me with poses. In fact, they seemed to give more attention to regular students. I found out last week that I still do downward dog improperly. Why did no instructor ever fix that? A few years later, I wanted to try yoga again and purchased a 5 course package for $70. I became preoccupied with work deadlines and was forced to use the majority of the classes in a one week period. I ended up taking two courses that were slightly above my expertise, although they were billed as Level 1-2. Everything I said about the low level courses not being physical enough was out the window here. I twisted and squatted and ended up with satisfying muscle ache the next day. It was challenging for me. One of the most disappointing parts was how little instruction I received in the 7 classes I attended. I'm still very new to yoga and the Indian names for the poses don't register for me. Sometimes, I had no understanding of what I was supposed to be doing and had to wait 5 seconds to copy my neighbor. It wasn't always easy to copy the instructor because it was dimly lit in the studio (normal) and my view was obstructed by many other students. At one point, I whispered to the instructor walking by whether there was a modified pose because I couldn't do the one she wanted us to do and she very abruptly told me "I said it already but you weren't listening." Whoa, where did that come from? Did you lose your zen? The reason I asked again was because I didn't understand what she meant when she described the modified pose. Excuse me if I don't know what my "sanctum" is. I am still giving Triad a 3 star review because this is the only yoga studio I've ever attended. Maybe this is the norm but frankly, I don't understand how anyone learns when no one teaches. I somehow doubt yoga is about the blind leading the blind.
