I am a California-licensed, board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over ten years of mental health experience, serving clients throughout California. I use a collaborative and holistic approach that takes into account the biological, psychological, and social factors that may be affecting your mental health and overall well-being. My hope is to help clients improve their quality of life and live the life they value and desire.

I don’t just focus on managing symptoms—I help clients understand the root of their challenges while also developing practical tools for everyday life.

First session

In our sessions, clients are welcomed into a supportive and private space to share their thoughts, emotions, and concerns freely. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and compassion. Through this process, we will explore challenges, uncover personal insights, strengthen coping skills, and build a deeper self-awareness that supports growth and healing.

Strengths

My style combines evidence-based treatment with a personalized, compassionate approach. I don’t just focus on managing symptoms—I help clients understand the root of their challenges while also developing practical tools for everyday life. By blending medication management with supportive therapy, clients gain both immediate relief and long-term strategies for lasting change.

Ideal clients

I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is especially helpful for clients seeking medication management combined with a collaborative, insight-oriented therapeutic process. I’m best positioned to work with individuals who value open communication, are motivated for growth, and want a provider who integrates both medical and psychotherapeutic perspectives.

Treatment methods

Compassion-Focused

I use a compassionate and holistic approach to takes into account the biological, psychological, and social factors that may be affecting your mental health and overall well-being.

Psychodynamic

I combine medication management with a psychodynamic approach, focusing not only on relieving symptoms but also on understanding the deeper patterns and experiences that shape them. This helps clients gain insight while finding balance with the right medication support.

During one of the hardest seasons of my life, I was searching for a provider who would not only help me manage my symptoms but also truly listen, support my autonomy, and connect with me as a person. Samaneh exceeded every expectation. She is compassionate, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in her patients’ well-being. I cannot recommend her highly enough, particularly for new mothers struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety.
