I work with individuals as well as couples, providing a safe space for an exploration of inner distress. Through an eclectic mix of theories, I have watched my clients move from depression, anxiety, addiction and other difficult patterns toward a newfound sense of peace and harmony. This doesn’t come without its own brand of sacrifice, it takes a lot of self-honesty, self-acceptance and courage.

You understand yourself and your patterns—but in relationships, you keep hitting the same walls. You might overthink, shut down, or pull away when things get intense. You want to feel more in control, confident, and steady in how you connect with others. I work with adults in Los Angeles (and virtually throughout California) navigating trauma, attachment wounds, and relationship challenges. Many clients notice anxious or avoidant patterns showing up again and again, leaving them frustrated or stuck.

I work with adults, young people, couples, and families who seek to understand distressing experiences in their inner and outer lives. These experiences can include depression, anxiety, motivational issues, and other symptoms. They can have roots in past traumas, bewildering life transitions, or worries about the future. Even for those who have been in therapy before, relationships can disrupt and disappoint. Frustrations at work can raise doubts that go deeper than a job alone.

You look like you have it together. Inside, the fire alarm won't stop going off.
You're second-guess yourself, carrying tension in your body, and wondering how much longer you can keep pushing through. Maybe it's intergenerational trauma, the pull between two cultures, or relationships that feel just out of reach. Maybe something happened that your mind tried to move on from, but your body hasn't.
You're not broken. You're carrying a lot. And you don't have to carry it alone.
I'm Melika, an Iranian immigrant, LMFT supervisor, and licensed therapist with 9+ years of experience.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
