Getting to know Pinkal Shah

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from California State University, Bakersfield. I provide a safe, accepting, and mindful environment, offering culturally sensitive services for children, adults, and families experiencing emotional stress such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. I also work with behavioral issues including ADHD, defiant and oppositional behaviors, as well as culture-related stress like immigration challenges and identity concerns, including support for gender variant clients.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I strive to help clients move beyond the point that prevent them from living fulfilling lives. In helping clients to realize their life goals, I'll assist them in identifying possible ineffective responses to life stressors and coping patterns in order to replace them with those that lead to a higher quality living.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I have been assisting clients past trauma, while managing their symptoms of anxiety, depression and ADHD. I can assist you with effective tools and strategies that you will be able to utilize in your day to day life.
