Shirin Roberts, LMFT

Shirin Roberts is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 26 years of clinical experience. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, motivation, and related issues. Her work also includes areas such as grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, and blended family issues.

She practices in a client-centered style, beginning by getting to know each person and what matters to them. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Shirin listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try different ways of responding.

Shirin blends evidence-informed tools into her work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits. Mindfulness approaches are offered to help manage stress and attention. EMDR is part of her toolkit for people affected by trauma.

Appointments emphasize straightforward conversation and small experiments between sessions. People can expect help sorting priorities, improving communication, and managing strong emotions. She also supports clients coping with life transitions such as divorce, caregiving changes, illness, or blended household adjustments.

Shirin describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set achievable steps and reviews progress along the way. Sessions are conducted in English and follow California practice standards.
