Sanaa Subhani, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University and over a decade of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles, providing compassionate support to individuals and families navigating life’s challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and a deep commitment to making people feel heard and understood. I believe in the power of validation and strive to create a safe space where clients can express themselves without judgment. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to support clients in overcoming challenges and fostering resilience. Through CBT, I help individuals identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. Mindfulness practices encourage clients to cultivate awareness and presence, allowing them to navigate emotions with greater clarity and self-compassion. ACT helps clients embrace acceptance and commit to meaningful values-driven actions, even in the face of adversity. With DBT, I provide skills-based strategies that enhance emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. By combining these approaches, I empower clients to build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and create a balanced and fulfilling life. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life challenges, marital and communication difficulties, trauma, and stress. Working with me feels like stepping into a space where you are truly heard, understood, and supported. I create an environment that is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in deep empathy. My goal is to make each session feel safe, inviting, and collaborative, where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions freely.
