Shirin Khanideh, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Shirin!

I look forward to us getting to know each other and developing a working relationship that can be helpful to you in reaching your goals.

My focus

My psychotherapy practice includes individual counseling. Typically working with anxiety, adjustment problems, career issues, cultural issues, depression, sadness, loneliness, and relationship issues.

My approach

In my approach, I draw inspiration from multiple theories and perspectives - psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral techniques, brief therapy models, and relational theories.

My communication style

I would describe my communication style as I am dedicated to helping people form healthy, productive, and satisfying lives and relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

Prior to opening my own private practice, I worked at Family Services. I provided individual psychotherapy for children to older adults both in the clinic and out in the community at local elementary and high schools.

My goals for you

We use the first session to decide what the main reason the individual is seeking therapy and create goals around that. We also rank the goals and work on them from there. From time to time, we will visit the goals again and see if we need to revise them or not.

Our first session

I approach each new client as someone who is a unique individual. I help them recognize factors that impact their current life situation. I tend to use the first session to get to know you better and why you are seeking therapy. This is a great time for us to get to know each other better and set goals for the upcoming sessions together.
