Maral Malekian, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maral!

I'm passionate about empowering others to find their inner selves, resolve emotional conflicts, and improve their quality of life and interpersonal relationships.

My focus

I work with individuals struggling with issues such as ADHD, anger management, anxiety, behavioral problems, depression, divorce, family conflict, life transitions, OCD, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, sexual abuse, stress, trauma, and PTSD.

My approach

I utilize evidence-based approaches, including TF-CBT, CBT, and solution-focused therapy, to help you acquire the necessary tools to overcome barriers. I recognize the importance of emotional safety and strive to provide a therapeutic experience where you feel secure in exploring unresolved stressors.

My communication style

My communication style aims to create an atmosphere of empathy, non-judgment, and warmth. I listen attentively to understand your unique perspective and tailor my approach to best support your specific needs and goals.

My goals for you

Through our work together, my ultimate goal is for you to gain greater self-understanding, heal from past wounds, learn effective coping strategies, and cultivate the insight and skills needed to create lasting positive change in your life and relationships.

Our first session

In our initial session, we'll discuss what's bringing you to therapy and how I can help. I'll gather some background information and together we'll start to formulate a plan to address your most pressing concerns. You'll have an opportunity to ask any questions about the therapeutic process.
