Sheida Kalantari, LMFT
I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working with individuals and couples. Many of the people I work with look like they’re holding it all together—but inside, they’re dealing with anxiety, pressure, relationship stress, or feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite break. I bring experience from both crisis care and outpatient settings, and my approach is practical, supportive, and culturally attuned. Together, we focus on understanding what’s really going on underneath and creating meaningful, lasting change. Therapy can be hard—but you won’t have to do it alone.
