Dr. Leila Zahedi, PsyD

Dr. Leila Zahedi, PsyD

Psychologist
220 Montgomery St, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA
I specialize in evidence-based treatment for adults with trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. I have trained in community mental health clinics and in the VA system, working with diverse populations including veterans, LGBTQIA+, and sexual assault survivors. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, stuck in unhelpful thought patterns, or burdened by past experiences that continue to linger. I strive to create a steady, collaborative space where clients feel supported, understood, and gently challenged as they move toward meaningful change and access a wider range of experiences that may have previously been limited by avoidance. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and person-centered. My work is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed, and third-wave cognitive behavioral therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), CBT for insomnia (CBT-I), and mindfulness-based interventions. I take a transdiagnostic, intersectional approach, recognizing that even when people share diagnoses, their experiences, identities, and contexts are unique. A core goal of my work is to help clients build practical skills they can use in daily life—so therapy feels both effective and empowering. I will help you identify what matters most to you, understand patterns that may be perpetuating symptoms and distress, and take realistic, values-driven steps forward. My approach helps clients learn to manage difficult emotions and thoughts rather than struggling with them endlessly, allowing for more flexible and intentional responses. While this work can be meaningful and sometimes challenging, I believe there’s room for levity. When appropriate, I incorporate humor to reduce shame, gain perspective, and remind us that being human can sometimes be a bit absurd.
