Salima Alim, LMFT

Psychotherapist
1775 Woodside Rd, Ste 301, Redwood City, CA
Born and raised in France, I grew up in a vibrant city and a multicultural home that shaped my deep appreciation for diversity and human connection. Speaking French, Vietnamese, and English, and traveling the world, helped me understand how culture, language, and life experience shape who we are. Now a mother of three in a recomposed family living in the Bay Area, my personal journey through trauma, migration, motherhood/co-parenting, and identity led me to the meaningful work of becoming a therapist. Inspired by my own transformative experiences in therapy, I now support others in navigating life’s challenges with empathy, insight, and care. In my free time, I enjoy Interior design and Feng shui, meditation and yoga, hiking, discovering new restaurants, dancing, and exploring the world with my family—and perhaps most importantly, I’ve learned to take the time to take my time.
