Breenu Sra, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Breenu!

I help individuals, couples, and families navigate complex emotional and relational challenges with compassion and practical guidance. I specialize in court-involved therapy and have written curriculum for co-parenting and parallel parenting education.

My focus

I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, school refusal, PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, life transitions, adjustment disorders, burnout, acculturation stress, and relationship issues. I also provide parent coaching for families with middle school, high school, or college-aged children.

My approach

My approach is integrative, culture-centered, and evidence-based. I prioritize your perspective and unique experiences, adapting treatment to fit your life. I draw upon humanistic, existential, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, mindfulness-based, and acceptance and commitment therapies. For couples, I use emotionally focused therapy.

My communication style

I practice active listening, empathy, and assertiveness when needed, providing timely feedback. Effective communication between us is essential to your progress, and I create a space where you feel heard and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

I aim to teach practical coping skills and care for the well-being of children, families, and individuals with patience, compassion, and integrity. My work is driven by a commitment to helping people navigate life's challenges with resilience.

My goals for you

I tailor personalized, evidence-based treatment plans to your readiness level using SMART goals: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. This approach helps ensure our objectives are attainable within a clear timeframe.

Our first session

You will be received with a warm welcome. The initial session focuses on establishing rapport and understanding your presenting concern. If we connect well, I proceed with the intake process and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
