Getting to know Yasmin Yazdi

My name is Yasmin. I am a trilingual, licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health. I have a B.A from UC Berkeley and a Masters from Columbia University. Throughout my career, I have worked in hospitals/residential, impatient and outpatient programs, and community clinics through the County Department of Mental Health. I have also directed a dual diagnosis addiction program through UCLA for several years. Aside from my therapeutic work, I have published a book of poetry and I have traveled and lived in several countries.

What should a new client know about working with you?

am trained in a plethora of evidenced based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and Somatic Trauma approaches. I work from a humanistic and existential lens that incorporates narrative identity, empowerment, and radical acceptance. I also find it important to acknowledge that we live and experience life within our bodies and, for that reason, we can't address mental health without also understanding what is happening with our physical health (nutrition, sleep, physical activity, health conditions, etc).

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work on creating therapeutic relationships that feel real, safe, and radically accepting. I am honest and straightforward to honor and respect the dignity and worth of every human I work with. I don't strive to tell people how to live their lives or fit them into a box when it comes to diagnosing. I support people in figuring out what they want and need, what is working and not working for them, and how to get through the barriers that prevent them from achieving their goals and desires.
