Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness, it's the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing the light will shine again. If you are seeking help, often times it can be an overwhelming and humbling experience. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with and at ease can be challenging, but once it is a good match, you will be able to overcome your obstacles. Remember, you are the expert in your own life, and being in therapy we will improve some aspect of it. With empathy, trust, accountability and respect, we will work together to see the light.

I strive to help my clients reach their life goals. I am passionate about working with people who suffer with anxiety, over-thinking, panic disorders, phobias, OCD, and related anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders can be very overwhelming and can often hold people back from having fulfilling relationships or following their dreams. I would love the opportunity to work with you in reducing your anxiety, in order to give you the chance to live life without barriers!

Life is beautiful, but sometimes it can be overwhelming due to past or present traumas, relationship distresses, grief and loss, and lack of effective communication, leading to depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. However, your current circumstances and struggles do not determine your future. Instead, they may be stepping stones for a brighter and happier future.

Therapy is about learning to love yourself and grow despite your mistakes. It is about finding the joy in giving without expecting anything in return. It is about welcoming your struggles with the same strength and enthusiasm that you welcome your victories, for it is through our struggles that we grow. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

With well over a decade’s worth of experience, and meeting clients at various moments in their lives, I find myself being more of a guide in the therapeutic process than anything else. As a therapist, I take pride in creating a space where clients can explore, heal and process their thoughts and feelings in a safe, welcoming, and encouraging environment. At my core, I am a relational therapist that will bring in a Strength-Based approach and incorporate mindfulness into sessions as well. It is important for me to meet my clients where they are, and collaborate with them so they get the most out of their time in therapy.

Are you a parent seeking to gain more information about your child or adolescent’s learning strengths and areas of need? Do you suspect your child to have a learning disability or struggles with planning, organization, and time management? Are you an adult who is attending college and having a hard time focusing during tests, recalling information, and paying attention in class? If so, I could be of great help! My name is Edgar Shahnazari and I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist who has been practicing as a School Psychologist for the last 11 years.

I value the importance of human connection and collaboration. The relationship and connection which a client and therapist develop between them is the single biggest factor for successful psychotherapy. I am of the belief that therapy should not be a forever journey, but rather an opportunity to become introspective and explore the path which is right for you personally.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate through life's challenges and improve their relationships. With a compassionate and understanding approach, I work with clients to identify patterns of behavior that may be causing conflict or distress and help them develop new coping skills and strategies to better communicate and connect with loved ones.

My clients are seeking healing from addictions, mental health, and identity issues as well as various types of issues related to grief & loss. Traumas experienced are central to many individuals and I take the approach of a witness to my clients experiences. I have spent over a decade working with individuals to find the healing and recovery they seek. Additionally, over the years I have built a strong understanding of the specific needs of individuals struggling with co-occurring disorders. I collaborate with each client to build a continuing care plan that focuses on their needs for long-term success

Hi there, I'm Wanchun (Athena)! I provide support to individuals, teens, couples, and families to develop awareness, strength, and healing in their lives. I draw on family system, CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic and attachment theory, and narrative theory. My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative. I have worked as a therapist and counselor for a community mental health clinic, a social worker at a multipurpose senior service program, behavior health specialists, and a K-5 school in San Francisco. I have trained interns and taught therapy and counseling in a university graduate school program in CA.

I typically work with adults dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, stress management and life transitions. I am experienced in working with clients from diverse backgrounds and have a special interest in providing culturally competent therapy.

At the core of my approach is the belief in your power as an individual. Your unique experiences and feelings are like a compass guiding our work together. I use the Psychodynamic model. We'll explore your thoughts and emotions to find insights and practical solutions that truly resonate with you. As we understand your individual process, we will also highlight the importance of relationships. Meaningful connections are the foundation of our lives, whether with family, friends, or others, all of which play a vital role in nurturing well-being.

So often, we live our lives focused on surviving and just making it through to the next day. Life stressors, unresolved trauma, pain, excessive worrying, unfulfilled dreams, and hopelessness can make this way of living seem ordinary. Even though a survival mind-set can seem unbreakable, it is possible to take control and create a more fulfilling life. Therapy can provide the space to make this shift possible and help guide you on the path to finding your thriving life.

Hi, my name is Sylvie Fermanian. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 12 years of experience. I have helped individuals with anxiety, depression, brief, family conflict, job stress, and more. I use an individualized approach to each of my clients, which involves an Eclectic form of treatment. Some of the primary modalities include CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy. I will meet you where you are so you can go at your own pace in terms of opening up and sharing details of your life. We will develop goals together and, as therapy progresses, introduce to you skills and interventions to reach those goals.
