Hi, I’m Zahra Adloo, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) dedicated to helping individuals navigate trauma, addiction, PTSD, and major life transitions. My approach is eclectic and client-centered, meaning I tailor each session to your unique needs using solution-focused, narrative, existential, and psychodynamic therapies. Whether you're working through past wounds, seeking clarity in your relationships, or striving for personal growth, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and reclaim your authentic self.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, clients can expect a warm, non-judgmental space where they can share their story at their own pace. I’ll take time to understand your goals, challenges, and what brought you to therapy, while also exploring past experiences that may be shaping your present. We’ll discuss what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, and I’ll introduce my eclectic approach, tailoring our work to best support your healing and growth. Most importantly, this session is about building trust, creating safety, and ensuring you feel heard and understood as we begin this journey together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to create a deeply safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I take an eclectic, client-centered approach, allowing me to tailor therapy to each individual’s unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. My background in trauma, addiction recovery, PTSD, and psychedelic integration enables me to guide clients through deep healing work with both compassion and directness. I also specialize in working with individuals who intellectualize emotions as a coping mechanism, helping them reconnect with their authentic selves through mind-body awareness, somatic work, and self-exploration.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve adults navigating trauma, addiction recovery, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are individuals who have tried traditional therapy but seek a deeper, integrative approach that includes mind-body connection, psychedelic integration, and holistic healing modalities. I also work well with those who tend to intellectualize emotions as a coping mechanism and are ready to reconnect with their authentic selves on a deeper level. Whether you're healing from past wounds, breaking free from destructive patterns, or seeking clarity in your relationships, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to support your growth.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning I tailor my methods to fit the unique needs of each client rather than adhering to a single therapeutic framework. My experience has shown that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, so I integrate elements from multiple evidence-based modalities to best support my clients. In my practice, I primarily draw from: ✔ Solution-Focused Therapy – To help clients identify strengths and actionable steps toward change. ✔ Narrative Therapy – To assist clients in reframing their personal stories and breaking free from limiting beliefs. ✔ Existential Therapy – To explore meaning, purpose, and personal responsibility in life. ✔ Psychodynamic Therapy – To uncover and process unconscious patterns rooted in past experiences. This flexible, integrative approach allows me to adapt sessions based on a client’s goals, personality, and progress, ensuring they receive the most effective care possible. Whether someone is working through trauma, addiction, life transitions, or relational challenges, my eclectic method creates space for personalized, meaningful transformation.
