Tara Sharifi, AMFT

Hello! My name is Tara, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist practicing under supervision. I recently earned my M.S. in Counseling Psychology from California State University, Long Beach, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based therapeutic approaches and culturally informed care.

I have training in several evidence-based modalities for trauma processing, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE). I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my foundational approach, while intentionally integrating techniques from other modalities to align with your unique needs and goals.

In our work together, we will collaborate to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical skills that support meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, resilient, and equipped to move toward a life that feels fulfilling and aligned with your values.
