I have over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. Teens and young adults are under all sorts of external pressure that can lead to sudden mood changes, anxiety, feelings of insecurity, and questioning self-worth. Whether its a strained relationship with your teen, or you are looking to improve, or you just want to make sure you have the right strategies for helping your teen or young adult thrive, I can help. My direct work with adolescents gives me a unique perspective which has put me in touch with the emotional needs of teens and I integrate that into my approach.LGBTQ+friendly.

I have specialized in relational trauma for years and I believe in the power of connection. I am dedicated to helping my clients feel confident in relationships with people who make them feel safe. I decided to become a therapist after the Columbine shooting occured. I was deeply saddened by that act of violence among students and left my job in advertising 20 years ago to complete my master’s degree in psychology. Something about me that is unique is that I have close friendships for 35 years and I continuously seek and value new friendships and connection.

Life gets hard sometimes and unfortunately the world we live in doesn’t equip us with the tools needed to take on problems when they arise. Problems can get too big for us to handle, at times infiltrating themselves into various aspects of our lives, taking our agency while making us believe there is something inherently wrong with us. Within my work as a therapist I lead with compassion and empathy, knowing that problems live outside of us and not within us—always staying aware and away from pathologizing practices.

The world we live in today easily overwhelms. The pressures of parenthood, the gains and pains of our online presences, the hustle and pressures of work in today's economy can leave little space for coping when life's true crises arise: the pain of a diagnosis, the loss of employment, struggles with addiction, or serious mental illness. And supporting a loved one struggling with these issues creates its own challenges.
My clinical focus includes supporting fellow caregivers, men, and individuals working through major life transitions. I also provide clinical consultation for therapists building their hours towards licensure.

My name is Dr. Kamran Zafar and I am the founder and CEO of La Jolla Healing Center. I have been in recovery for more than 30 years and know how lonely it can get. Addiction can hit a person when they least expect it: when they're trying to manage an increase in their workload, fulfill obligations with family, or for no reason whatsoever. It often begins innocently — sometimes to relieve the stress of everyday life, or even just to experience the thrill of something new. Before the person knows it, they’re using alcohol or substances to cope with the negative feelings and stress in their daily lives.
