Ilham Tahir, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ilham!

I specialize in women's mental health and work with clients facing dual diagnoses including substance abuse, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, and personality disorders. I believe every client is an individual with unique experiences and needs, so treatment must be personalized to their strengths and readiness for change.

My focus

I primarily work with adult men and women, with particular experience in women's issues and personality disorders.

My approach

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, and client-centered approaches to help you build skills, understand patterns, and create meaningful change tailored to where you are in your journey.

My communication style

My communication style is soft-spoken, and I engage clients by meeting them where they are.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a passion for the helping field and found a career as a clinician to be deeply rewarding.

My goals for you

I ask what your goals are and explore how I can help you reach them, discussing interventions that align with your needs and priorities.

Our first session

The first session typically includes an introduction, discussing confidentiality, reviewing your background, and exploring your goals and previous experiences with therapy.
