Yaneli Sedghi, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Yaneli!

I am a Latinx Spanish-speaking therapist who uses a holistic approach when conducting therapy. Some of my specialties include depression, anxiety, multicultural issues, immigration issues, parenting issues, and life and work stressors.

My focus

I have worked with a variety of demographics during my time as a therapist, though my most typical clients are adolescents, young adults, and families.

My approach

My approach to therapy always starts with the humanistic theory. I like to establish an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment that is conducive to growth for my clients. From there, I assess what might be most beneficial for the client, realizing that not one approach fits all.

My communication style

I would describe my communication style as clear and warm. I strive to provide my clients with an empathic environment in which they are the experts in their lives, and I am an expert in helping them achieve their therapeutic goals and overcome challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a Latinx growing up in an underserved part of Southern California, mental health was not and is still not something that is openly discussed in many communities and households. I do this work to break the stigma of mental illness in many communities.

My goals for you

Collaboration is the word for goal setting. We will work together on setting goals for our time together, with most of the information coming from the client and very little from me as a therapist.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect a lot of questions to get to know you more and get more information on what the client may want to work on. I also like to give clients time to tell me anything they may want to share as we start our journey together.
