Anasheh Amiriyan, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Anasheh!

My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself so we can work together towards the change you desire.

My focus

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, stress and intrusive thoughts related to OCD. Together, we build a personalized treatment plan focusing on your strengths and learning new coping strategies to help you manage your symptoms in a better way.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unwanted or negative thoughts. I can help you manage your OCD by using exposure response prevention (ERP) modality. Using dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) we can practice techniques to help you balance your feelings and manage unwanted thoughts.

My communication style

I believe therapy should be a nonjudgmental and safe space where you feel heard and respected. I use active listening and empathy to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable to share your story and provide feedback when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been interested in understanding people, their life story and what influences the way they think, feel or behave. I wanted a career where I could connect with people and help them make lasting change in life.

My goals for you

I help you reach your goals by first understanding what is important to you and identifying the problem areas to create a personalized treatment plans using a therapeutic approach that works best for your needs.

Our first session

Our first session together is a chance to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. It's normal to feel nervous or even scared, we can take this at your pace and work together to figure out what works best for you.
