Roxana Khadjehnouri, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Roxana!

If you're here, you've already taken one of the hardest steps. I'm Roxana, an LMFT who works with children, teens, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your story is heard and your strengths are celebrated.

My focus

I work with individuals of all ages facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship issues, and life transitions. I also speak Farsi and warmly welcome Persian and Middle Eastern clients seeking a culturally attuned space. You belong here, exactly as you are.

My approach

I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and emotionally focused therapy — tailoring every session to your unique needs. We'll explore how your thoughts shape your emotions and build practical skills to shift those patterns. My approach is flexible, evidence-based, and always centered on you.

My communication style

I'm warm and direct — I'll be honest with you because that's what real growth requires, always with care. Sessions feel like a real conversation: I listen deeply, ask meaningful questions, and offer honest reflection. I follow your pace and check in to make sure our work feels right for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path began with a BA in Religion at UCLA, deepening my curiosity about human suffering and meaning. I earned my MA in MFT from Pepperdine and have spent years working with diverse clients, including crisis intervention.

My goals for you

We'll set goals together from the start — and let them evolve as you do. Progress might look like quieting anxiety, rebuilding confidence, or simply feeling like yourself again. I'll help you define what healing looks like for you, break it into real steps, and celebrate every milestone along the way.

Our first session

Our first session is about feeling safe — no pressure to have it all figured out. We'll explore what brought you here, your background, and what you hope to gain. By the end, we'll outline initial goals and you'll have a clear sense of what our work together will feel like going forward.
