About Me
Meet Halleh Akhbari, AMFT
I offer a warm, inclusive, and empowering space where you can explore challenges, unlock your potential, and build skills to manage life’s ups and downs.
My Perspective
A space for growth
I integrate CBT, EFT, trauma-informed approaches, mindfulness, positive psychology, and expressive techniques like art therapy to tailor sessions to your unique needs.
As a Persian-American, I understand the nuances of navigating multiple cultural identities and life challenges. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, including women of color, college students, bicultural families, veterans, and LGBTQ+ clients. I welcome you to reach out to explore next steps toward growth and healing.
How I help
My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative, with space for both insight and practical change.
Support
Safe and collaborative care
I help clients create a space where they feel safe to explore what’s going on internally without judgment. Together, we work on understanding patterns, building emotional awareness, and developing practical tools to manage stress, relationships, and life transitions.
Who I love working with
Across life stages
I love working with children, teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem concerns, perfectionism, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity exploration.
Some of my favorite approaches include…
Thoughtful, tailored support
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I integrate CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based practices, trauma-informed care, and positive psychology to support healing in a way that feels grounded and personalized.
What to Expect
A space to feel understood
I aim to support both insight and action, helping clients feel more connected to themselves and empowered in their daily lives.
Even small shifts in awareness, self-compassion, and behavior can create lasting transformation over time. You won’t be rushed or judged; we move at a pace that feels right for you.
My goal is for you to leave each session feeling understood, supported, and clearer about your next step.
