Saly Nasrat, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Saly!

I help you find greater balance and a higher quality of life through understanding, healing, and cognitive awareness. My work focuses on supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions toward meaningful change.

My focus

I work with teens, adolescents, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, dual diagnosis, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and grief. My focus is empowering you to overcome personal obstacles and improve your quality of life.

My approach

I use an integrative approach that combines cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy, always working from a humanistic foundation. This blend helps you understand patterns, build coping skills, and move toward the life you want.

My communication style

Most of the time, we do not realize how much control we actually have in our lives. We have more power than we think in hardships. I take a collaborative approach with you since, ultimately, you are the expert on yourself. I will meet you at your level, and together we will have the perfect setting to find a healthier, happier, more productive you!

My journey to mental healthcare

As a therapist, what attracts me most to this work is the profound opportunity to witness and facilitate positive transformation in people's lives, by providing a safe space for them to explore their challenges and emotions and ultimately work towards healing and personal growth.

My goals for you

When approaching goal setting with clients as a therapist, the key is to take a collaborative approach, actively listening to their desires while guiding them to formulate specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals. This would ensure clients feel ownership over their therapeutic journey and are actively involved in the process
