Getting to know Ghazal Abbas

Hi there, I'm Ghazal! Hi! My name is Ghazal Abbas, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (127592). I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University – Los Angeles. My therapeutic practice is rooted in acknowledging your multicultural experiences and understanding how these dynamics influence your personal goals and relationships. Coming from a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed perspective, I’ll work with you as you navigate gender, social, or cultural concerns, especially those that may differ from your family’s expectations. Together, we explore these complex layers to foster personal growth, healthy relationships, and help you live by your core values. My approach My therapeutic approach is deeply relational. I emphasize the importance of the client-therapist relationship as a foundation for growth and healing. Additional theories I integrate include Psychodynamic, Attachment-Focused, Trauma-Focused, Person-Centered, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My focus I work with individuals who recognize unhealthy family and intimate relationship dynamics no longer serve them and are ready to stop repeating past patterns that lead to conflicts or minimizing themselves or their needs. I am most comfortable with clients curious about personal growth to create healthier adult and family relationships and eager to challenge themselves. My areas of focus are Anxiety, Generational Trauma, Interpersonal (Peer & Family) Difficulties, Relationship Struggles, Women’s Issues, Immigrant and Acculturation Issues, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ Identity Issues, Self-Esteem, Coping Skills, Social Skills, and Feminism & Liberation Awareness. My communication style I am a lively and expressive person who brings humor and a light-hearted touch to sessions, making it easy to discuss serious topics in a relaxed way, while also being capable of making space, diving deep, and engaging in meaningful conversation.
