Sabrina Naqvi

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (she/her) who works from a collaborative, compassionate, and solution-focused lens. I will strive to help you strengthen resilience, deepen self-understanding, and find meaningful growth. Alongside my clinical work, I serve as an Adjunct Professor in Pepperdine University’s graduate psychology program.

Outside of therapy, I’m a mom and a yoga enthusiast with a yoga teacher training certificate. I find balance through movement, laughter, and the connections that remind us we’re never alone on our journey.

As a South Asian therapist, I bring a culturally sensitive perspective to every session and tailor my approach using psychodynamic, neuroscience, cognitive behavioral, and post-modern methods to meet your unique needs. Additionally, my approach is trauma-informed. I will be there to listen and help you heal from past wounds, utilizing a somatically informed approach to help you release pain.

During the exploratory phase of therapy, we will work together to identify your goals and use them as a guide for tracking progress over time. Therapy is a collaborative process, and the growth that happens between sessions is just as important as the work we do together during our time together. To support this process, I may offer exercises, reflections, or techniques to practice outside of our sessions. We will also pay attention to recurring themes and patterns, while continuing to move toward your goals at a pace that feels supportive. Throughout our work together, I intend to provide a safe, compassionate space where meaningful change can occur.
