Farbod Khalafi
My name is Farbod. I am a second generation Persian-American. My own background continues to shape the way I approach this work. Growing up in California I often felt caught between two cultures—never quite fitting into either. I approach therapy through a combination of learning skills to work through stress, guiding clients to better understanding themselves, and a space to be heard.

First session
We'll work together to identify what you're looking for from therapy and where I can help. For my new clients, I'll also give a short introduction to the process and what to expect. This includes customizing our goals for your therapy journey.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a provider is my intellectual and emotional curiosity. I approach therapy through a mind-body lens. I believe they are both interconnected and essential to better understanding ourselves and how we hold stress.
Ideal clients
I tend to work best with adults to learn more about themselves and learn some skills to better handle stress along the way. This can be stress related to relationships, life transitions, family, anxiety, or depression.
Treatment methods
Integrative
Clinically, my approach is integrative. I draw from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mind-body practices to support the whole person. I focus on helping clients reconnect with themselves by integrating the heart, mind, and body—laying the foundation for meaningful healing and lasting growth.
