Sama Alatrakchi

Therapist

Virtual • California


Clients should know that I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they can feel safe to be themselves. I specialize in working with women, adolescents, and children, as well as individuals impacted by the child welfare system, including foster care, adoption, and family separation. I understand how trauma, attachment disruptions, and life transitions can shape emotions, relationships, and self-worth.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I aim to help clients feel heard and understood while also offering tools and strategies they can use in their daily lives. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs and developmental stage, meeting them where they are and moving at a pace that feels comfortable.

I value building strong, trusting relationships and believe that healing happens through connection, insight, and consistent support. My goal is to help clients strengthen resilience, gain clarity, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California

Finding the right therapist in California starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, it helps to find a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation. California-licensed therapists include LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit to a session.

California is one of the most expensive states for mental health care, which makes using your insurance one of the most practical ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to confirm coverage and see an estimated session cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.

With providers available across Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and throughout the state, you can browse therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can review detailed bios, check real-time availability, and book directly.
