Mariam Ali

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. I have worked across schools, community organizations, and private practice, supporting clients through anxiety, life transitions, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I draw from relational and mindfulness-based practices to create a safe space where you can explore emotions, improve communication, and reconnect with what matters most.

I believe healing begins with understanding and compassion, and that therapy can be a powerful space to rediscover your strength, balance, and clarity.

Your first session is a gentle introduction, a chance for us to get to know each other and create a sense of comfort and trust. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and any questions or concerns you may have. I’ll guide you through the process at your own pace, helping you feel heard and understood without pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Together, we’ll begin outlining your goals and explore how we can work collaboratively toward healing and growth.
