Mandana Shahoveisi

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and I maintain a private practice in Irvine, California. I obtained my doctorate degree in psychology (focus on Marriage and Family Therapy) from the Chicago school of Professional Psychology and my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University. For the past 20 years, I have been working with a broad spectrum of clients with a wide range of emotional and relational issues.

I have developed an eclectic approach utilizing interventions derived from a range of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Positive psychology, and a Jungian oriented approach. Among my areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem/self-confidence, and stress and anger management. I am bilingual and able to conduct the therapy sessions in English and in Farsi.

I consider myself to be an interactive, client-oriented, strength-based and solution-focused therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support, psycho-education and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges.nWith compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
