Sharen Zadeh, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sharen!

I work with individuals, families, and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, trauma symptoms, and life stressors. My goal is to create a safe space where you can explore your concerns and develop practical tools for positive change.

My focus

I work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and past trauma. My practice includes families navigating relationship dynamics and adolescents facing developmental challenges.

My approach

My approach is empowering and eclectic, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I tailor methods to meet your unique needs and goals, working collaboratively to develop a personalized treatment plan.

My communication style

I create a safe, non-judgmental space that encourages openness and honesty. Clients describe my style as warm and approachable, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I prioritize empathy, active listening, clarity, and respect to enhance the healing process.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with my own experiences navigating relationships, which sparked my interest in family systems and communication. Each client interaction has reinforced my passion for fostering healthy relationships and guiding individuals through their challenges.

My goals for you

We work collaboratively to deconstruct unhelpful narratives and explore your outlook on life. Together, we process feelings, explore unmet needs and desires, gain awareness, and expand your coping toolbox to meet your therapeutic goals.

Our first session

The first session focuses on understanding your needs and establishing a foundation for our work together. We'll build rapport, assess your concerns, gather background information, set goals, and discuss the therapeutic process and confidentiality. You're welcome to ask any questions.
