Structural Family Therapy in 92626

Along with my MFT license, I have extensive training in yoga and meditation. In my practice I combine personal counseling with strategies derived from mindfulness training and body-mind integration practices. I help you become deeply aware of your long held patterns of thought, emotion, behavior, and relationship that may be creating difficulties and impeding your health and well-being. By engaging in this way, you will develop a friendship and intimacy with yourself, and feel more effective and free to solve your life's problems.I have made it my mission to use my training & experience to help those feel connected and open-hearted.

My name is Dr. Zamani (she/her) and I am a queer Afghan-American mixed licensed doctor in marriage & family therapy. I specialize in working with Complex Trauma for folks who have been exposed to consistent stressful experiences throughout their development ranging from childhood trauma, displacement, financial instability, and abandonment. Since I went to school for 9 years and had to complete a doctoral exam and dissertation, I have a wide range of knowledge and experience working from different therapy modalities and approaches. Most of which originate from eastern teachings and indigenous practices.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a variety of clinical experience and training. During my graduate work at Pepperdine University, I was educated on interventions designed to move clients towards self awareness and increased hope for the future. I strive to challenge my clients on their negative self talk and intervene on maladaptive coping mechanisms. My training focused on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy however DBT is also a utilized therapeutic modality in my practice. Please allow me to meet with you and/to your loved ones to discuss current mental health or other life concerns.

When you're feeling anxious depressed, overwhelmed by your feelings, it feels so good to be able to unburden these feelings with someone you can trust, feel empathy and understanding from. My mission is to help you feel better, increase understanding about yourself, and move forward in your life in a way that satisfies you. My approach is personal, nonjudgmental, positive with an emphasis on reducing suffering and enhancing personal happiness.

Logical Behavioral Health providers are professionals who understand and prioritize your care above all else. We believe that in certain cases, good care even means providing a referral to someone outside of our office if our providers are not the best fit for your behavioral health care needs. The overall course of treatment will ultimately utilize a collaborative approach in helping you achieve mutually formulated treatment goals to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. If you believe that you need a referral to a psychiatrist or other health care professional, we have the resources to provide you with an appropriate referral.

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help.

It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Do you find yourself feeling fearful and not knowing why? Do you question your behavior and feel like your reactions are abnormal? Does it feel like no one understands and that life is too overwhelming sometimes? You're not alone, and it's time to talk about it.

If you can change your thoughts, you can change your world! I believe learning how to challenge negative thoughts can greatly impact your mood and subsequent behaviors. I am passionate about helping others live the life they deserve! Unfortunately, past traumas, experiences and life circumstances change our perception and view of the world. Fear, depression, anxiety and mistrust can interfere with our ability to pursue dreams, aspirations and healthy relationships. I provide an environment where you can feel safe, encouraged and validated. Together we can develop appropriate therapeutic goals to help you move at your pace toward healing and change.

We are all on our own journey in life, filled with experiences big and small that have shaped our present. At times we all have our own work to do to feel mentally healthy and balanced in our relationship with ourselves and others. Therapy is a courageous and powerful step for your journey, helping you grow and/or heal to reach the goals you desire. By meeting you where you are at emotionally/mentally we work for you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, discover patterns in your life and learn skills for you to reach your goals.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Are anxiety and stress keeping you from living your life to your fullest potential? Are you feeling stress weighing on you internally or causing you to feel exhausted and hopeless? Together we will explore ways to grow, further develop self-acceptance and unearth traumatic experiences and daily stressors that are hindering you from achieving this potential. I will be available to provide an unbiased listening ear and warm spirit as you reimagine the life you want for yourself. In this safe and accepting environment, we will develop an action plan to better manage your unique symptoms and your life.

Do you feel depressed or anxious due to childhood trauma? Do you feel disconnected in your relationships with others? I’m here to help you develop an action plan for meaningful changes. My approach to therapy is relational and person-centered. I will work alongside you in a warm and understanding environment where you can explore your emotions and find better ways to deal with the stressors in your life.

Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, or low self-esteem? Do you find yourself avoiding social engagements or so preoccupied with excessive worrying? Finding ways to navigate these difficult feelings can help you get back on track. I use a psychodynamic approach and CBT that focuses on uncovering patterns of behavior and ways of relating to ourselves and others that are often outside of our awareness. I also consider how our past impacts who we are today. Through acceptance and empathy, we will establish a trusting therapeutic relationship and work together toward your personal growth and self-discovery.

Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences then often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.
