"Don't run away from grief. Look for the remedy inside the pain because the rose came from the thorn. "~ Rumi Hello, and welcome to my page! I am Anahita, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. My professional journey has been profoundly influenced by my personal experiences, which have included various challenges from childhood through adulthood. It took me several years to overcome these struggles. My own battles with mental health, combined with my innate gifts of intuition, empathy, advocacy, and curiosity, have shaped me into a therapist, ready to assist others on their path to healing. I specialize in treating individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders (including phobias and panic disorder), and Mood Disorders. My expertise also includes helping individuals affected by trauma and PTSD, guiding them toward recovery and lasting healing. Additionally, I have extensive experience supporting individuals as they navigate relationship challenges and major life transitions, as well as providing compassionate care to those coping with loss and grief. I take an integrated approach that combines evidence-based practices with a holistic perspective.
