Sadiyyah Abdul, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sadiyyah!

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re a teen or young adult navigating life’s challenges or a parent seeking support for your child, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and hopeful about what’s possible.

My focus

With over 18 years of experience, I work with teens and young adults experiencing irritability, low self-esteem, and cognitive patterns such as rumination and overthinking. My approach emphasizes building insight, strengthening coping strategies, and fostering emotional resilience.

My approach

I take a holistic, personalized approach to therapy, shaping each session around your unique needs. I integrate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support meaningful, lasting change—because your therapy should fit you, not a formula.

My communication style

I offer a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental approach, providing a safe space for open dialogue and meeting you where you are. Through active listening and collaboration, we work together toward sustainable, positive change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’ve always felt called to become a therapist and to work with adolescents. My work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves the support, understanding, and care I once needed growing up. I’m passionate about nurturing growth and helping individuals build confidence, resilience, and self-trust.

My goals for you

My goal is to support you in gaining the tools and insight needed to overcome challenges, build resilience, and live a fulfilling life. Together, we will increase self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and foster a confident sense of self.

Our first session

Our first session is less about formalities and more about connection. It’s a collaborative, personalized conversation designed to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from day one.
