About Nima
Dr. Nima Zahedi is a licensed clinical social worker who centers practical, moment-to-moment work in sessions. He keeps meetings focused and straightforward, reminding people to breathe and notice their own part in difficult patterns. His approach aims to help people access the skills they already have when life feels overwhelming.
He has nearly two decades of professional experience and a background in psychology, medical social work, and clinical psychology. Dr. Zahedi emphasizes clear evaluation early in therapy so both therapist and client can understand what is happening and what to work on. He views anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma as common parts of life that often need attention rather than avoidance.
In sessions he notices how anxiety can block access to the feelings beneath it. He talks frankly about how many people arrive either underprepared or overprepared, and he helps them find steadier ways to show up. His early meetings are longer to allow enough time for a careful assessment and shared planning.
Practical habits are part of the work. He asks people to consider their motivation for therapy and to reflect on whether their goals match their actions. Sessions include note taking, occasional coaching about how to approach therapy, and a focus on recognizing patterns that keep problems alive.
Dr. Zahedi asks that clients be located in California for sessions and attend from a safe, calm setting with reliable reception. He values punctuality and clear communication about scheduling needs so meetings can be useful and respectful of both peoples time.
