Auria Zahed, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
My name is Auria Zahed, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in California. I work primarily with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression often linked to internal crises, low self-esteem, or significant life changes. Throughout therapy, I emphasize mental well-being and emotional awareness, guiding my clients to take meaningful steps toward managing challenges that once felt overwhelming. My approach I practice a person-centered approach, allowing clients to shape each session according to their needs. This time is entirely theirs to focus on themselves. Believing that our past significantly influences who we are, I often invite clients to share childhood experiences and family dynamics to better understand their present. My focus Most of my experience has been with women, people of color, and clients who identify as LGBTQ+. In therapy, my clients work toward (re)gaining self-worth, empowerment, and cultivating healthy relationships. I welcome anyone facing internal struggles influenced by external or societal factors. My communication style Creating a safe space where clients feel completely open to sharing is essential to me. I strive to ensure my clients feel valued, supported, and understood throughout our work together. My journey to therapy I decided to become an LMFT at the age of 13, drawn by a desire to listen to people's stories and offer emotional support. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Clinical Counseling. My early experience includes working with teens, adults, couples, families, and groups at the LGBTQ Center OC. In early 2023, I launched my private practice, focusing exclusively on individual therapy. This one-on-one work allows me to explore my clients' pasts deeply, helping us understand the origins of their thoughts, behaviors, and patterns. This insight supports breaking unhealthy cycles and fostering greater self-awareness and self-love.
