Sahili Amador

Hello and welcome! I am Sahili, a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with over 12 years of experience providing trauma-informed services to People of Color as well as LGBTQIA individuals. I provide individual therapy to older adolescents, adults, and older adults through telehealth, offering a supportive and collaborative space for growth and healing. I believe in treating every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I tailor each session and treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and balanced life, and taking the first steps toward change can feel both exciting and intimidating. My goal is to support and empower you on that journey, helping you gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful and lasting change. If you feel ready to take the next step, contact me for a free 15-minute consultation.

I bring both expertise and a deep commitment to supporting you on your healing journey. My training and background offer a unique perspective that allows me to provide compassionate, effective care grounded in evidence-based practices.

I take a person-centered and relational approach, placing great value on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful growth. I work to build trust through authenticity and transparency, creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I utilize specific approaches to help clients process difficult emotions, understand and shift unhelpful patterns, and build healthier, more adaptive coping strategies.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so I aim to make our first session as comfortable and grounding as possible. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, your history, and what you hope to gain from the process. I’ll listen carefully, validate your experiences, and ensure you feel supported and safe sharing openly. This initial session sets the foundation for a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship.
