About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in the state of California with eight years of experience providing individual, family, and couples psychotherapy. I have experience in working with children, adolescents, young adults & adults experiencing a wide range of concerns including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral/emotional disturbance, relationship/family dilemmas, and life transitions. Some of the treatment modalities that I utilize in my practice are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic, client-centered, and solution-focused approach.

Psychotherapy is an investment in yourself, and provides the opportunity to gain clarity, perspective, and clinical guidance to overcome various challenges of daily life. In my practice, I emphasize on insight, self-awareness, and empowerment to promote growth and positive change. I operate from a person-centered humanistic perspective. Through an alliance of trust and collaboration, we will work together to understand the meanings of symptoms, to get "un-stuck," and to rediscover your capacity to make the meaningful choices that are right for you.

I recognize that it takes a lot of courage to take the first step towards making changes in your life, and I want you to know that I will be by your side to support and empower you throughout your journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Siouneh Shabandari. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I’ve always struggled to stay consistent with therapy. My time with siouneh has been the longest I’ve done therapy for. If it wasn’t for her I would have stopped along time ago. Amazing is an understatement!
