Therapists in Lynwood, CA

"What one person has to offer to another, is their own being, nothing more, nothing less" - Ram Dass. My therapeutic approach is a strength-based perspective that focuses on a person's innate potential rather than pathologies and shortfalls. Consistent with this approach, my role as a therapist lies not in solving problems but in helping clients examine inhibited issues and biases, identify practical solutions to their problems and progress towards deeper wisdom. I have worked with clients of various ethnicities, addressing a range of mental health issues, relationship problems, and life transitions.

Sanna Leghari is a Licensed Marriage and Family, who has been practicing since 2016. She graduated from the University of Southern California with a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. She believes that our thoughts help shape and create our realities. Sanna is aware that from time to time, negative thoughts can infiltrate our psyche and cause bouts of depression, unbearable anxiety or leave us feeling "stuck. " Sanna believe these symptoms are not a reflection of our true selves and are indicators for areas where growth, change and adaptation are needed.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. Adversity is a part of life and we all experience it and feel isolated. However, I believe it can be an opportunity to grow stronger. I use strength-based supportive approaches that promote growth and healing. My approach focuses on deep care and respect for you. I value your experiences, thoughts and feelings and apply a non-judgmental stance making my sessions a comfortable experience. I focus on providing a collaborative and supportive environment where you can express yourself freely.

For over a decade I have been helping people grow, heal, learn about themselves and shift negative patterns in their life. If you or someone you know is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, having difficulty navigating relationships, or burdened by past traumas, I will work with you to better understand, process and resolve challenges in your life. Dealing with ongoing life stressors at home, school or work can be difficult to navigate and can leave you feeling hopeless at times. Based on my years of experience, I tailor my approach and techniques to best fit your unique hardships and goals.

It can be difficult to reach out for mental health support. It can be even more difficult to find a therapist who is a good fit. I recognize this difficulty, and my goal is to make the therapeutic process as supportive and affirming for you as possible. I'm passionate about working with clients from diverse and marginalized backgrounds, especially individuals from LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. I am a licensed clinical psychologist (Psy.D.), and I specialize in multicultural psychology. I am trained in providing evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, mood changes, and other mental health difficulties.

I focus on harnessing positive energy to help clients create personal success in their lives and relationships. I provide a safe space for clients to explore difficult emotions and identify negative patterns that may be hindering their happiness and success. Together, I work with my clients to help them let go of negative patterns and create positive changes in their lives.

At Human, my focus is to create a space where my clients feel safe and welcome with all their strengths and weakness and all their experiences - a space where they can just 'be'. Life brings us all kinds of experiences and some of those can be hard to cope with as is. My goal is to help you find the strength you already have within to learn and grow from these experiences as you continue to process them.

Hello and a warm welcome! While I bring a diverse background to my role, my current focus involves pursuing certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My dedication lies in offering assistance to individuals and couples grappling with attachment issues within their present relationships. EFT centers around fostering transformative emotional experiences through the therapeutic relationship. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to emotional well-being. Additionally, I proudly serve as a Clinical Supervisor for associates on the journey to becoming licensed therapists.

At times we can feel so overwhelmed by emotions that our natural instinct is to simply shut down. We feel no one understands us and that if we tell someones they will either dismiss it, tell us " just get over it," "why don't you just look at the bright side." Other times, we don’t want to share what we are feeling because we do not want to burden those close to us. This only further validates either that what we are feeling is not important and that nobody cares. When we don’t acknowledge or process the pain we feel, our overwhelmed self may lash out or act in a behavior that is either destructive towards the self or others.

I am a South Asian Immigrant based in Southern California. I work with individuals of all ages and life stages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, facing relationship issues, and going through life transitions. My experience is widely with the Muslim-American community and the the unique challenges that come with it.

As a therapist, I strive to provide an accepting, safe space where you can bring your authentic self without fear of judgment. I enjoy working with individuals of diverse backgrounds who are seeking to better understand themselves and the causes of suffering and discontent in their lives. Many feel alone when experiencing difficult life moments, but connection can make the journey feel lighter. I am interpersonal, warm, and empathetic in my approach, and I will work collaboratively with you to support emotional healing and foster empowerment in you to create the change you desire.

In dealing with stressors, life events, challenging relationships, and traumatic experiences we develop patterns to keep ourselves safe and sane; which often also limits us. The challenge is unlearning these narratives and trusting our innate wisdom. When we feel safe, secure and accepted for who we are we can begin the process of shedding what doesn’t work for us, while exploring our untapped potential. I believe you are the master of your story; and I hope to create a safe space where we can gain insight about your inner battles, develop skills to enhance holistic development, and realize the potential of your authentic self.

As we wonder how to navigate life, we may face several obstacles and challenges that can seem overwhelming or unbearable. As a Mental Health Professional, I am here to support people on how to successfully keep themselves afloat. I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology in 1997 from the Universidad de Guadalajara in Mexico, and after a couple of years treating people of all ages I decided to move to California to complete graduate school. I graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology, with emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in 2006 and I have been licensed since 2012.

Throughout my service in various clinical settings, I have been struck by the importance of creating a safe space for those seeking mental health care and working towards personal growth. While I treat a wide range of mental health concerns, I specialize in working with those who: are navigating life transitions, including relationship and dating challenges, grief and loss, medical difficulties, or relocation; are striving to find effective ways of managing difficult emotions and communicating with others; have faced interpersonal traumas or identity-based invalidations; or are struggling to engage in meaningful ways with others.

Do you feel as if every effort you make is never enough, that you are always striving for something bigger and better? Are you struggling in your relationship or marriage and cannot break the unhealthy patterns of how you and your partner relate to each other? As your therapist, I support individuals and couples to begin to heal from past traumas and learn to accept and love themselves. I help couples to break free from unhealthy patterns to truly enjoy each other's company and love.

Many individuals are struggling with day to day stressors whether it be specific or more generalized. From stressors related to school, work, family, friends, intimate relationships, alcohol and substance use, to managing depression and anxiety. I am able to help build therapeutic relationships to help guide and support you on your journey. I have experience in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Exposure Therapy, and Trauma Focused Therapy.

You have taken the first step, now let's talk! If you are seeking support for yourself, for your child or another loved one I'm here for you. I help people find purpose and meaning in their family, friendships, work and all other areas of life while also learning tools and strategies to overcome obstacles and challenges that interfere with their relationships and their vision for their life. I not only adapt my professional expertise to fit your unique needs and situation but also bring my own life experiences as a mom, as a partner, friend and fellow human who has grappled with similar issues.
