About My Clients

I am passionate about helping individuals to explore and address difficult feelings, unhelpful patterns, trauma, anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, grief/loss, and phase of life issues.

My Background and Approach

Hello, I'm Anahita, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I know dealing with mental health problems is hugely daring, as I experienced and battled such dilemmas in my youth and It took me several years to overcome my struggles. Going through this path, along with being gifted with intuition, empathy, advocacy, curiosity, and high motivation to learn about individuals has made me a competent therapist to assist people in the path of healing. I utilize (CBT), (CPT), (MI), (ACT), (DBT), (SFT),(MBCT), (EFIT) and other therapy modalities. I also specialize in ERP, treating OCD, panic disorder, specific phobias, and illness anxiety disorders.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I firmly believe that healing often begins with acknowledging and embracing our pain, just as the rose emerges from the thorn. My mission is to provide you with a safe and nurturing space. I look forward to establishing a therapeutic bond and healing connection with you
