“I’m going through a really difficult time—from mourning my grandmother to fearing for my parents’ safety in a war zone, all while feeling helpless from afar. Soheila doesn’t just listen — she truly hears me. Her warmth, empathy, and gentle guidance have helped me make space for my pain while also finding ways to stay grounded. With her support, I’ve been able to begin processing my grief, work through survivor guilt, and manage the intense anxiety I’ve been carrying.”

Getting to know Soheila Ferdowsian
Hi there!
Do you feel pulled in a million directions? Many times unable to complete tasks? Are you struggling with life’s challenges, relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?
I would like to help and support you in the improvement of how you’re feeling.
I am a "Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)." I have received my Master’s Degree in Counseling with an emphasis on individual, ‘Marriage and Family Therapy’, from California State University Long Beach. I specialize in supporting individuals facing dual diagnosis related to substance use and mental health.
This includes challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress management, family dynamics, addiction, and overall life management. My approach is compassionate, professional, and tailored to each person’s unique needs.
I am fluent in languages: English, Farsi, and Pashto.
My experiences traveling throughout Europe and living in Asia and South America has shaped my understanding of how cultural backgrounds and life experiences influence the way we think, feel, and navigate our lives. I bring this perspective into my work using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strengths-based, and mindfulness approaches to support clients in ways that are practical, respectful, and individualized.
Together will consider all life's transitions, then explore what areas in your life need to improve, identify the necessary tools and coping skills that best work. This will help you to a more balanced life.
I will also utilize a holistic and client-centered approach by focusing on empathy for my clients, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard.
Therefore I aim to create a safe trusting space to help overcome issues and highlight your strengths leading to growth.
Life can be easier, fun, and blissful!
Clients have described my approach as thoughtful, compassionate, creative, and reliable with a calming demeanor and a steady strength-based, supportive presence.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My clients will experience my utmost respecting for each individual from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds. Being mindful of how cultural aspects can influence one's life. Continue to create a safe environment and highlight individual’s strengths. Shed light on opportunities for growth; in order to help them learn the necessary coping skills during life's biggest transitions.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
