Erin Mokhtar, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Erin!

I've been a therapist for 24 years, and I'm also a working parent and spouse. I stay engaged with current research while continuing my study of Eastern philosophy. My work draws from mindfulness and CBT while recognizing that each person is also navigating the social conditions around them.

My focus

In my career, I've helped teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or generally seek clarity. I specialize in working with both couples and families.

My approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I take an active approach to discussions to understand the patterns affecting your life and what's at stake beneath the choices you're facing.

My communication style

I believe therapy is a collaborative dialogue. I draw on my experience to ask thoughtful questions, offer relevant education, and provide honest feedback and reflection. I also welcome your input about what is or isn't helpful and what feels most important to address.

Our first session

The first session is a chance for us to get acquainted and begin asking what brings you to therapy. I may ask about your background and history so I can better understand your current concerns in context. You don't need to arrive with clearly defined goals-- we can clarify what you need and hope to change over the first few sessions.
