I offer a judgment free environment to explore your concerns, troubles, dreams, and questions. We will be on this journey together: I particularly like working with anxiety, stress, and career challenges. I also enjoy processing through spiritual questions and angst. Together, we will identify, clarify, and process emotions and ideas that are causing you discomfort. Just as importantly, we'll set goals together so you can effectively understand the progress you've made.

I earned my master’s in counseling psychology at National University and specialize in Marriage and Family Therapy. During my education and training, I provided therapy for survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and domestic violence victims. I also supported individuals transitioning from the prison system into sober living homes by providing empathetic case management services. In addition to practicing at Pacific Beach Health, I also practice as the Clinical Director at Boardwalk Recovery Center.

At Pacific Beach Health, I offer individual counseling sessions to adults and adolescents. Since 2013, I have been a member of the recovery community and understand the challenges and stigma that accompany substance abuse. I provide counseling and case management services to men and women struggling with substance use disorders. I recognize that recovery is not a “one-size-fits-all” process. I specialize in using a 12 Step approach, motivational interviewing, and other modalities to help people move past their addictions, develop skills to prevent relapse, and find the motivation within themselves to achieve long term sobriety.

“Treat the patient, not just the disease.” This mantra has always been an inspiration for my practice, as I truly believe that successful therapy is rooted in the positive, working relationships I form with my patients. If you are living with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, or have family and/or marital issues, life might feel complicated and overwhelming. You may need a safe space to heal, explore yourself, and feel heard. My education & experience as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist has given me the tools to help empower people like you to create positive change and work towards achieving a state of well-being.

All couples experience challenges and can get stuck in harmful patterns. However, we can work together to identify those patterns, increase understanding and empathy, and utilize skills to shift communication and improve satisfaction, intimacy, and fun. Having a strong connection and support system in one’s romantic partner is related to better physical and mental health and success in multiple domains of life. Let’s work together to make your partnership a source of strength rather than an obstacle.

Nadia Zamani is an associate Marriage and Family therapist practicing in San Diego. She practices from a decolonial feminist and post structural lens. The theory she practices from is narrative therapy, which essentially involves looking at the narrative that has been created from dominant beliefs of society, family, friends, etc. She helps clients explore these narratives and recognize if they are serving our lives or not. She pays attention to relationships and how they are shaping our realities. Her work consists of supporting individuals with their problem-saturated stories as they begin to challenge dominant beliefs.

You wake up and think to yourself, “I just can't keep feeling this way.” Maybe it’s the anxiety or the stress. Maybe it’s depression. Perhaps it is the overwhelming feelings of low self-esteem when you look in the mirror. Whatever it is on that particular day, you just know that you cannot continue to live like this and feel this way. You want to wake up in the morning and feel hopeful, excited, and confident to tackle the day ahead. You long to finally be able to enjoy your time spent with loved ones and be present — rather than feeling consumed by feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or poor body image.

I deeply value peoples' ability to be honest and kind to themselves so they can recognize when change is needed, but also forgive themselves for having struggled... because struggling is human. We all struggle, we all make mistakes, and we all have been in a place where we may not have presented as our best selves. Things in life can be difficult and we may lose sight of our importance and value in this life. I want you to know that I am here to remind you that you matter and that you are so much stronger than you realize or may give yourself credit for.

My “ideal client” if there is such a client is someone who has a desire to deepen their own self awareness. They have some insight into themself and is willing to explore the nature of the problem/s they are presenting with. This ideal client feels safe enough to be vulnerable to explore their own “shadows” (things about themselves that they deny or repress). They are also willing to challenge their own thoughts and belief systems. Feels safe enough to openly discuss any concerns they have about the course of treatment and our work together.

The philosophy is people + relationship = the good life. One's relationship to others and oneself is the basis of my work. Healing from the past, knowing the freedom of a better life, and becoming able to give and receive love are the transformative results of doing good work. Our work is successful when you become more of the person you are supposed to be: a whole person in life-giving relationship. My specialty is within the overlapping layers of say anxiety, depression, an unfolding course of work, and a better than expected day. Being a generalist, by specialty, my experience is in taking you as I find you.

It may feel like many people in your life have an agenda. Whether that’s related to what you do, how you dress, how you act, the relationships you choose- it is easy to feel judged in our lives by the people that surround us. It may be difficult to seek support from a therapist when this has been your experience. I’m here to show you that my only agenda is supporting you in your journey to reach your goals. Through a nonjudgmental and empathic approach, I will offer you guidance and perspective in how you see your life moving forward. I utilize a holistic perspective, engaging in the therapeutic relationship to help you reach goals.
