Ahzuli Ansermet, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ahzuli!

Starting therapy is a meaningful and important step, and I am glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California, offering telehealth statewide. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life's many challenges.

My focus

My focus is on supporting teens, young adults, and adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or depression, or who are navigating difficult life changes. I also work with clients coping with grief, loss, and relationship challenges.

My approach

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe space where you can explore your experiences, set goals that matter to you, and grow at your own pace. I use research-based practices to help you build understanding, discover new perspectives, and develop tools that support lasting change.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, patient, and compassionate. I am an active listener who makes space for clients to feel heard and validated. I am also mindful of how I provide feedback, since every person receives it differently. Some clients prefer direct guidance, while others may feel more supported through gentle reflection and encouragement.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love working with and helping others because I believe everyone at some point in their life can benefit from support and encouragement. My background as an immigrant, along with my experience working in community mental health, has shaped the provider I am today.

My goals for you

I collaborate closely with clients to identify 1–2 meaningful goals at a time, focusing on what matters most to them. I help clients understand that goals can evolve as therapy progresses, and we adjust our approach to fit their changing needs.

Our first session

In our first session, we focus on getting to know each other and building a safe, supportive space. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy and what matters most to you. We’ll work together to create a shared understanding of your experiences and begin building trust.
