Hi, I’m Mariam Ali, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #152315). I’m passionate about helping individuals, children, and families build healthier relationships and find peace through life’s challenges.

I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and a bachelors in Psychology from Rutgers University.

You’ll build confidence and develop practical tools to tackle stress, anxiety, and life changes. If you’re looking for a counselor who will help you find strengths you didn’t know you had... you’re in the right place.

Feeling worried all the time? Feeling down or depressed? Dealing with negative thinking that wont go away? Having difficulties in your relationships? Struggling to maintain a balance between responsibilities and everyday challenges?

Let me help you! I will guide you to effectively manage anxiety, depression or elevated stress that may arise when dealing with past or present relationship issues, family conflict, divorce, separation, parenting difficulties, trauma, illness, loss, transitions or other life stressors.

I'm here for you! Don't tackle this alone; open yourself to professional help.

You have spent your life being kind, dependable, and doing what is expected, keeping peace and showing up for everyone else. But deep down, you are tired and want to feel seen, understood, and free to make choices that feel like you. I work with women who have learned to stay quiet and put others first even when it meant losing themselves. In sessions, we explore how culture, family, and early experiences shaped you. I use a blend of insight, CBT, and mindfulness to help you find your voice, set boundaries without guilt, and come home to yourself with confidence and compassion.

Welcome! I am a licensed therapist offering Narrative Therapy for creatives, musicians, artists, and young professionals in West Los Angeles and throughout California. I work from a poststructural, non-pathologizing perspective to help you explore the stories that shape your identity, relationships, and sense of possibility. This is a space for reimagining—not for 'fixing.' It is a place to nurture your inner life while resisting the systems that seek to define your worth.

Hi, I’m Dr. Afarin Rajaei (she/her), a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and purpose. In my 10 years in therapy, my approach has evolved to be warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, drawing from narrative therapy, systemic thinking, and the Gottman Method.

Whether you're coping with anxiety, relationship stress, identity shifts, or life transitions, I provide a space where your experiences are validated and your goals are honored. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strengths, address barriers, and co-create strategies for growth and healing. I work from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens and bring deep experience in supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including immigrants and those navigating intergenerational dynamics.

Clients often tell me they feel seen and understood in our work together—and that therapy with me helps them reconnect with their voice, values, and vision for life. If you’re seeking a therapist who balances insight with actionable change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
