Ani Kamajian, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ani!

I believe therapy is a space where you should feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported—while also feeling empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. For the past five years, I’ve worked across detox, residential, and outpatient settings, supporting adolescents, adults, couples, veterans, and individuals.

My focus

I have discovered that my approach often meshes well with issues such as Trauma & PTSD, Anxiety & Depression, Substance Use & Recovery, Veterans’ Mental Health, Complex Trauma, Mood Disorders, Couples & Relationships, Emotional Regulation, Life Transitions, and Co-Occurring Disorders.

My approach

I draw from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, ACT, trauma-focused approaches, and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, break unhealthy patterns, and develop tools that translate into everyday life.

My communication style

My communication style is collaborative and warm towards my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist has been shaped by a deep interest in understanding people, their experiences, and the ways life circumstances can impact mental health and relationships. I earned my graduate training from Pepperdine University and began building my clinical experience in the substance use treatment field.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by creating a supportive, collaborative space where they can better understand themselves, identify what is keeping them stuck, and develop practical tools for meaningful change. I work with each client to establish realistic goals and tailor treatment to their individual needs, strengths, and experiences.

Our first session

I’ll also take time to learn about your background, relationships, strengths, challenges, and the experiences that have shaped you. Together, we’ll identify what you hope to get out of therapy and begin creating goals that feel realistic and meaningful to you.
