Sanjeshni Sen, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sanjeshni!

I utilize a person-centered/humanistic approach to therapy. My areas of practice include depression, anxiety, grief, stage of life transitions, interpersonal relationships/conflicts, PTSD, women's issues, coping skills, and addiction/ relapse prevention.

My focus

I have worked with individuals from various paths of life. This includes working with individuals with mood disorders, comorbidity, life transitions, self-esteem, family conflict, peer and romantic relationships, grief, perinatal concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, and racial identity.

My approach

The modalities I utilize in therapy are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational interviewing (MI), and Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPS).

My communication style

In therapy, my goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to be vulnerable and explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I use a collaborative approach to raise awareness, discuss deeper issues, and support clients in overcoming barriers to create a fulfilling life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a desire to help others in a vulnerable position, which led me to pursue a career as a therapist. It is an honor and a privilege to play a role in my client's journey to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilling life.

My goals for you

Once I have gathered sufficient biopsychosocial history, I work collaboratively with the client to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals to ensure the client's short and long-term goals are attainable.

Our first session

The first session is a time for both of us to get to know each other. This includes my understanding of your presenting concerns, gathering your history, and previous experience with therapy. We'll discuss your interests, current strengths, and your goals.
