Sara Kassabian, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sara!

(Currently, I am only accepting female clients.) I had the desire placed in my heart very early on to help those struggling and unable to experience life at its best. I believe that no matter what a person is facing, with proper support, it is not too big to be dealt with.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals facing challenges such as Anxiety, ADHD, Chronic Pain, Depression, Eating Disorders, Grief, Life Transitions, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), Parenting, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Sexual Abuse, Stress, Trauma and PTSD, Sleep or Insomnia, Panic Attacks, Career Counseling, and building Coping Skills.

My approach

My approach to therapy is grounded in both personal and professional experience. I take a strength-based approach, helping clients build on their resilience. Together, we explore how past experiences shape current patterns, while developing practical skills and emphasizing personal responsibility, choice, and empowerment.

My communication style

Although one may feel alone in their situation, I believe there is always hope and healing waiting for them if they just reach out. I aim to provide a supportive space where my clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through their struggles.

My journey to mental healthcare

I received a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Counseling Psychology.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you navigate life's challenges, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling life. Together, we will work on building resilience, self-awareness, and the skills necessary to overcome the obstacles you face.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your background, and your goals. This will help me understand your unique situation and tailor my approach to best support you on your journey towards healing and personal growth. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your feelings.
