Hi, my name is Reza Hadavi, a licensed male marriage and family therapist. My approach to therapy at the foundation is client-centered, which means I have unconditional positive regard for my clients and thus create a nurturing space in which to thrive and overcome mental health challenges.

I'm a therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy and respect, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while actively working towards active solutions . Using evidence-based techniques and a collaborative approach, I help my clients develop practical skills to manage stress, and create balance in their personal and professional lives.

The work to change and grow can be hard, but it is well worth it. I believe that the fruits of wellness and recovery done earnestly are plentiful: love, joy, peace, self-determination, self-empowerment, growth, change, to name a few. In my work, I view the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and tailor my interventions that draw on strengths to meet the unique needs of each person. I provide a safe space free of judgment to work through issues together, a space where you feel understood and know that you are heard.

My name is Jose Ramirez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. I believe we all deserve balance and well-being and that therapy is an effective route in this endeavor. I believe therapy is a guided partnership in understanding and establishing our roles, experiences, boundaries, and expectations in the pursuit of balance, well-being, and the ability to roll with the punches in life. I have had varied clinical experiences working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Focusing on anxiety, depression, anger, and substance use. I enjoy working with adults and individuals looking for growth in these areas.

I provide my clients with a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss their issues, concerns, and needs. I am a good listener and I believe that listening is important when helping my clients and identifying their thoughts and feelings to address their issues/concerns. I allow my clients to set their goals as we work together toward achieving those goals. If there are other goals that I think may be beneficial, then I will share them with my clients and discuss if they are open to those goals.

Selecting a new therapist can be a little intimidating. This may be your first time seeking a therapist or you may have some experience with therapy. My commitment is to make the process of beginning therapy as smooth as possible. One of the most important aspects of being a human being is the ability to empathize with someone else. Therapy ought to be a time and space in which we can share our experience and sense that we are actually heard, seen, understood, and affirmed.

If I had to choose three words that encapsulated my therapeutic approach, the words would be authenticity, compassion, and context. I learned how to deconstruct chaotic complex situations into digestible and palatable pieces. I learned to individualize and tailor interventions to meet students where they were at, not where I wanted them to be. I learned that no student, teacher, or classroom can optimally function in isolation, but rather thrive when choosing to operate interdependently.

Compassion, science, and healer are three words that describe me as a therapist. I treat therapy as a collaboration where I help you meet your goals. I believe that therapy should be a haven where you can discuss your issues without judgment. I incorporate therapy's art, science, and compassion to tailor my therapeutic style to your individual needs. I have training and experience utilizing multiple treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure and Ritual Prevention, and Written Exposure Therapy.

I love helping people puzzle out what they need in order to live their best life as their best self. Rising to a challenge has always inspired me to do more and reach even higher. Whether it be the challenges faced in life's transitions, relationships, or childhood experiences, I can guide you and stand by you to rise against it. I hope that people feel they can reach out and up for their inspiration even if they need some support getting there. Working with people in therapy has always been my dream; I would like the opportunity to help you start your path towards your dream.
