Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Orange, CA

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I help adults work through anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the stress of big life transitions so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to the work.

My background spans trauma-informed care, support for college students building self-advocacy and success strategies (especially those with learning differences), and extensive work with the military community — including wounded warriors and their families.

Whether you're navigating a career or life change, managing attention or focus challenges, working through anxiety or depression, or facing relationship stress, I offer a safe, collaborative space where real growth is possible.

Clients often describe me as warm, real, non-judgmental, and direct in a supportive way. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome people from all backgrounds with a spirit of inclusion and care.

Perhaps you’ve been searching online and recognize yourself in terms like PTSD, OCD, or anxiety—and now you’re wondering, what next? That’s where I come in. My role is to help you make sense of your experiences, clarify what you’re going through, and support you in moving forward in ways that strengthen your relationships, improve your work life, and enhance your overall sense of balance and self-care. Together, we’ll focus on practical tools and deeper insight, so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in charge of your own healing.

Many of my clients grew up in families affected by abuse, addiction, emotional neglect, or divorce. Unresolved family-of-origin dynamics can quietly shape how we respond to stress, conflict, and intimacy. Even as high-functioning adults, early emotional wounds often lead to shame, self-sabotage, and strained relationships.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping people uncover and shift these long-standing patterns. My approach blends Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) with other evidence-based treatments to promote healing, emotional resilience, and lasting change. CFT helps clients move away from harsh self-criticism and toward greater self-understanding and self-kindness.

Hello, my name is Shahnoor! In sessions, I utilize a client centered and solution focused approach rooted in empathy and authenticity. If desired, I also incorporate a decolonized lens into therapy.

My practice blends evidence based and decolonized treatments. I offer psychoeducation and collaboratively explore different modalities until we find what best fits your needs. Traditional approaches include CBT, solution focused, trauma focused, psychodynamic, DBT, and ACT. My decolonized offerings are fluid and evolving, including transpersonal therapy, The Daring Way by Brené Brown, spirituality, sound therapy, art therapy, meditation, anti-oppression, feminist, anti-colonial, and more.

I am Pakistani, a first generation child of immigrants, and understand the complexities of navigating two worlds. I know from experience that trauma can shape us, but it can also fuel resilience. My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves and their joy, despite past pain.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, earning my B.A. in Sociology and Gender Studies from UCLA and my Master’s in Social Work from USC. If my approach resonates with you, I’d love to connect and support you on your healing journey!
