Getting to know Alia Shahi

My name is Alia Shahi, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Ojai, California, providing services statewide through Telehealth. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I love working with clients who are motivated to gain a greater sense of self and who desire to acknowledge and shift the patterns that are no longer serving them. I am committed to your growth and well-being as we navigate the conscious and unconscious processes that influence your life. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on your needs. Through a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive modalities, we will work together to cultivate safety and create an environment that fosters growth and healing. My focus I enjoy working with a wide array of clients experiencing a range of mental health challenges. Some of the areas I specialize in are anxiety, addiction and co-occurring disorders, relational issues, life transitions, parenting, trauma, and PTSD. My communication style My communication style is honest, direct, and compassionate. I want my clients to have a space to feel heard, seen, and validated. Creating safety and an environment that allows others to be transparent without the fear of judgment is my number one priority. My journey to mental healthcare My path to becoming a therapist began in 2017 when I started providing Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) to military personnel, first responders, incarcerated and at-risk youth, and those struggling with addiction and other mental health challenges. Moved by the consistent growth I witnessed as a result of the therapeutic relationship, I was inspired to pursue my education at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis in depth psychology. I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to support and experience the transformations that can occur throughout therapy.
