Getting to know Saba Montazerian
As an experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Newport Beach, CA, with over 10 years of diverse experience in outpatient, crisis counseling, and Therapeutic-Day Treatment, I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.
I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Adler University and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Sussex University, which have equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively.
My passion is working with young adult women in various stages of life who face anxiety, depression, chronic pain, life transition stressors, grief, school and work burnout, and conflicts within relationships. I specialize in supporting new moms experiencing perinatal mood disorders.
With a compassionate and strength-based approach, I deeply value diversity and have a particular interest in serving immigrant individuals, couples, and families from different backgrounds.
My goal is to provide a caring, non-judgmental, and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, heal from challenges and trauma, and develop resilience. I am dedicated to helping clients create positive transformations in their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our therapeutic partnership, you'll find a safe and nonjudgmental space where your thoughts and emotions are respected. Together, we'll work collaboratively, focusing on your unique experiences and goals. My approach is individualized, drawing from various techniques to support your healing journey at your own pace.
I believe in your strengths and resilience, and our sessions will not only address challenges but also empower you to overcome them. Your privacy is paramount, and open communication is encouraged to ensure our work together remains effective and fulfilling. I'm here to support you every step of the way as we navigate this path of growth and healing together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our process begins with a comprehensive understanding of your personal aspirations and challenges, setting the foundation for our sessions. Guided by your unique experiences, I'll tailor therapeutic interventions to suit your preferences and pace. Your inherent resilience will be a cornerstone of our work, and I'll draw upon various evidence-based techniques to empower you in your quest for growth and healing.

I had my first session with Ms. Montazerian and to be honest it was my first therapy session ever. I’ve held myself back for years not seeking help but I’m glad I finally changed that. I felt like I was a different person after I left my session, and an incredible weight was lifted off my shoulders. Looking forward to continuing!

Saba is an amazing therapist. She is very empathetic and a great listener. She’s not like some therapists who just sit there and let you talk for an hour and send you on your way. She’s very involved during the session and she truly cares for you as a person. I had a great experience with her during my sessions. I highly recommend her.

It was really great meeting Ms. Saba, as making a connection with a therapist isn’t always the easiest thing to do. I have had some career and personal changes in my life and I needed some guidance to sort through my decisions and emotions. She was thorough, patient, and well educated in thought. I will be continuing my sessions as I believe a constant relationship with a good therapist can only bring a positive outcome on one’s life. Thank you so much!!
