Therapeutic Approach

Therapeutic Approach - Daphne Rahnama-Sani, LCSW, West Hollywood, Brentwood, Westwood, Beverly Hills,Los Angeles

I practice therapy through a Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic framework, which means that I am curious about your past. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I gain insight about the series of events or traumas that might be affecting you today. Together, we can work through past traumas so I can help you develop a healthier and happier today and tomorrow.

In some cases, I will utilize other therapeutic approaches such as Problem Solving Therapy or Solutions Focused Therapy, which are more short term practices and are intended to manage and cope with the crisis on hand. When appropriate, I also incorporate mindfulness tools, strengths based practices and psychoeducation to help you along the way. I incorporate methods in treatment that are tailored to the individual for the best therapeutic results. 

Beginning therapy can be a scary and overwhelming process. Recognizing this, I approach each client with deep compassion and empathy to meet you where you are cognitively and emotionally.  Together, we will process the current struggles and symptoms you are challenged with and work at a pace that makes you feel safe and comfortable. I am committed to help you develop a healthier sense of self.
