Therapists in Toluca Lake, CA

My name is Mastaneh (Masti) Lashkari, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 136681. I have always been passionate about psychology, philosophy, art, and creativity. I aim to illuminate this profoundly beautiful yet miserable growth process as a therapist. To help you become more conscious, self-actualized, hopeful, and mature. Before psychotherapy, I achieved two decades of successful marketing and sales experience in Business Banking and Pharmaceutical Sales. In other words, I have been practicing and developing a multi-faced wide range of experiences in various forms of psychology for over 20 years.

Are you experiencing difficulties adjusting to separation, divorce, chronic illness, or loss of a loved one? Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship problems that make you feel stuck? We all go through transitions in life, and at times, may need support to feel empowered and whole again. As a therapist, I offer an atmosphere of warmth, empathy, openness, and creativity to help you take control of your life and make meaningful changes. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families during their difficult times and help them to reach their goals toward a healthier life and thrive.

Self development is a strength and it is something we have to constantly dedicate ourselves to do. However, It is not easy to deal with all of the issues that we encounter as being human. Allow me to guide you and help bring forth your unique strengths of resilience. I want to hear about what's important to you and what your needs are. I have worked with clients on various issues such as separation, trauma, depression, anxiety, family issues, relationship issues, and existential crises. I am currently not accepting clients; I can connect you with my colleagues trained in treating trauma, crisis, and couples.

We all live in a world of stories...The meaning we attach to these stories become a template of how we feel about ourselves. The emotional outcome of this thinking can be depression, anxiety and at other times, happiness. What is the meaning of these stories? I believe facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead us to wisdom. Therapy is a creative and supportive process of getting to know your true self, of re-authoring the old story and writing a new one. Discover who you are... apart from the problem, and find an unexpected path to build inner strength and resources.

I believe everyone has unique stories that need to be heard. As I listen with curiosity and support, individuals freely explore their stories, become more open to delving into meanings, and further empowered to define their sense of self that needed to be received. In my work with clients, I integrate evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). As a registered art therapist, I am also aware and appreciative of non-verbal expression and the benefit of using this creative form of expression.

(Zoom Video sessions) My ideal client: A creative, motivated, and intelligent professional with an obsession, usually drugs/alcohol and/or sex. A higher percentage of creative people struggle with addiction, because they just don't know when to quit! Creatives frequently have low self-esteem, often despite proven success. Using cognitive (CBT) techniques and psychodynamic methods (how events from the past affect the present) I use a pragmatic, individualized approach. I include solution-focused and music/art therapy to help the client gain insight and put the insight to work to achieve realistic goals.
