About Ramin Nematollahi, LMFT

Happiness is possible for anyone willing to ask one question.

"What am I willing to change to be happier?"

Ramin Nematollahi is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California and an adjunct professor of psychology. He works with individuals, professionals, and couples, offering individual therapy, couples therapy, premarital counseling, and divorce counseling online to clients throughout California.

His approach is mostly humanistic and client-centered (Rogerian). He believes each person has a unique voice, and his job is to help that voice become more authentic to who you are. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems, attachment-based, mindfulness-based, and solution-focused approaches, and adjusts to what each client needs.

Years of work with families and adolescents shape how he sees adults and couples today: through the relationships and patterns that made us who we are. And he uses humor, because feeling better shouldn't feel grim.
