Anger Management Therapists in Los Altos, CA

I help my clients to find creative ways to address a variety of personal concerns, and I offer a warm and supportive environment which affirms the diversity of each individual. I draw from a wide variety of counseling theories and techniques. Some of my clients like an active, problem solving approach; others like therapy to be a supportive place to explore and examine life happenings. My specialties include depression, anxiety, anger management , relationship/couples therapy, LGBT concerns, polyamory, substance abuse, internet addiction, and codependency.

Most of us, if not all of us, come to a point in life where we need to regain our balance and redefine our goals. I know so because I have seen my clients, friends, and myself in such situations. By working together with you, I can help you to focus, mobilize your inner strength and establish new strategies to overcome problems that have become apparent. Topics that I handle (but I am not restricted to) are grief and trauma coping, relationship or family issues, anger management , and cultural or generational conflicts.

Hello, my name is Nasrin. For over a decade, I have had the privilege of working with adults, children, adolescents, families, couples, LGBTQ people, and military/veterans from a diverse population. What contributes to my work is the skill to utilize evidence-based therapies with the compassion and empathy needed to provide a therapeutic alliance. I join forces with every client, taking a collaborative approach to exploring the issues that need to be worked through and the strengths and resources that can be built upon. Successively, I provide the skills and the needed support on their journey towards change and growth.

Our experiences form an unconscious ‘blueprint’, which shapes our beliefs and aspirations, but also the fears and challenges we face. Gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that run your life allows you the freedom to make new choices and respond differently, transforming your relationships with yourself and others. In our work together, I will support you on your journey towards self-awareness that can lead to a profound change. My therapeutic approach is warm, direct and authentic. I believe feeling safe, accepted and heard are all critical elements for therapy to succeed.

It's hard to accept you're at a point in your life where you're feeling stuck and you need help. And it takes courage to ask for it. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgemental space in which to help you explore the issues that brought you into therapy. To discover together the underlying patterns of thinking and acting which perpetuate your suffering. And to work towards increased awareness and achievement of your most deeply-felt personal goals.

I believe everyone deserves some time to sit down with a strong listener and/or problem solver about their life. The feedback that I receive is, that I empathize & mirror the key issues quickly and help you brainstorm. I then help you get at "reframing" the negative situations and help you motivate and prioritize what is needed to do to actually change. I can work well with mood issues, chaos, panic, addictions and all relationship issues. Every session you should walk away with substantial suggestions to help in different areas. I also work with work career issues, parenting, and women with breast cancer.

If you are struggling with life changes, stress, anxiety, or feel like you are just going through the motions, therapy can help. Perhaps you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Perhaps you feel like no one really understands and wish you had someone to talk to? Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Change is hard because if it were easy, you would have already made the changes you wanted to. Sometimes there are obstacles such as unresolved issues from the past, self-limiting beliefs, and negative relationship patterns that are holding you back, and this can be addressed in therapy.

I am excited you have decided to contact me to walk with you in your healing process. I believe that there is wisdom in your story. In therapy we will address the problems that are important to you with the idea that you have the solution within you. I respect the courage it takes for you to make the decision to move forward. You are the expert of your journey; I have the tools and skills that can help you get where you want to be.

Common issues include feeling overwhelmed, micromanaging and finding that it's just not working, anger, frustration, and loss.

During the over 20 years I have been in practice I have witnessed how profoundly helpful it is for a person to be listened to with care and attention. My commitment to you is to create a setting that helps you share yourself with someone who initially you don't know - but will come to know. I want to help you feel safe and comfortable enough to speak about your concerns. In addition, we will address your issues with the objective of getting to the source of the problem so that you can feel more long-term relief.

I can help with challenging relationships, retirement problems, post trauma and acute stress; also substance abuse issues, problem gambling, grief or loss, as well as problems with past childhood abuse and neglect, as well as facilitating better adjustment with general life transitions.

I believe that my role as a therapist is to join with the client in understanding him/her/themself better. I facilitate the journey of self-exploration, believing that change comes through identifying and articulating thoughts and emotions in the process of an interpersonal relationship and more directive strategies if indicated. I have a calm, gentle demeanor that creates a supportive and nurturing setting.

My aim is to assist clients in being happier, healthier, and stronger as they encounter the hurdles that different phases life can bring. Whether those hurdles are internal, interpersonal or professional, most clients walk out of sessions feeling understood, really seen, smarter about themselves and their situation, and with real tools to positively affect their lives. Often interpersonal relationships prove the most challenging over time, triggering defensive/protective reactions that usually make things worse. Assisting couples through precarious times is a specialty, including addressing communication breakdowns, increasing closeness, reducing animosity, or dealing with jealousy and affairs.

I am a cognitive behavioral psychologist and as such I utilize a goal oriented focus in working with problems that you may be experiencing. I also believe that understanding the meaning of experiences are essential to working through them. I have worked both with children and adults in my practice and have done a great deal of work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and chronic illness.

I am the founder of a Mandarin-English-Cantonese Trilingual group practice (Mind & Body Garden Psychology) and there are currently 20+ bilingual therapists, psychiatrists, speech therapists, and OT. We provide both psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessment services. We see the role of a psychologist as a gardener. When people come to us seeking support, they may have too many branches of mental blocks and bushes of stress in their lives. What we can do is to help people be more aware of the branches and bushes that impact their quality of life, and then assist them to trim these parts, cope with stress, and live happily.

Anxiety, depression, grief, and loneliness are at the top of the list of emotions that I work most commonly with, including variables such as: trauma, sports-fears, betrayal, ethnicity and culture concerns. I welcome my clients, that they've come to the right place and they feel safe, while assisting individuals, couples and families in achieving a clear, calm transition towards their mental-wellness with less anxiety, more success, dignity, balancing mind-body and building empathy. I work at my Private Practice (retired from Stanford University).

I am a multilingual therapist with experience in working with clients diverse in age, color, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

In addition to that, I offer therapy in additional languages such as Hindi, Telugu, Marathi, Punjabi, Urdu.

We can emerge from our struggles more sturdy, wise, and fulfilled than ever before. This is the opportunity hidden in life's challenges: they compel us to stretch and grow, to uncover untapped potentials, and to engage our lives in new and creative ways.
