Rafia Zaidi

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a social worker licensed in California with several years of experience working as a school social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, behavioral problems, etc. My work primarily has been with adolescents and children.

My therapy style is warm, interactive, and person-focused. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution focused aspects. I also like to place an emphasis on being culturally aware and sensitive. I, too, am human just like you – so please do not be nervous or feel like I will judge. 🙂

I am here to support you and empower you.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you on this journey of life. 🙂
