Getting to know Zeerak Hashimi

My name is Zeerak Hashimi, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe in meeting clients where they are and helping them identify their strengths to make positive changes in their lives. I earned my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Long Beach. This training deepened my understanding of mental health and equipped me to work directly with individuals and families. My approach is client-centered. I believe that allowing people to set their own goals and work at their own pace empowers them to take control of their lives. I commonly use motivational interviewing techniques, CBT, and DBT to help clients recognize their strengths and identify areas where they need support to grow. While I have worked with clients of all ages, I am most comfortable working with adults aged 20-50. I focus primarily on treating anxiety, grief, and trauma. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where clients can open up. I spend time establishing rapport and often use humor to strengthen the therapeutic relationship. My journey to mental healthcare began in childhood. I have always found it rewarding to be someone others can talk to about their problems without fear of judgment. I was also fascinated by the human mind and why people behave as they do, which led me to earn my bachelor’s degree in psychology. Realizing I wanted to work directly with people to explore their challenges and focus on mental health, I pursued my master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to set goals, believing that clients should decide when and how they want to address their problems. Together, we focus on goals that meet their current needs. During our first session, I like to understand what the client is struggling with by exploring when their problems began and how they are currently coping.
