Professional statement

Tina Sammadi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Encino, CA. Tina provides young adults and adults, including couples and families, with empathetic sessions that focus on moving forward in healthy, connected ways. Tina often works with clients who feel stuck in their lives, whether that’s stuck in negative thought patterns, negative emotions, or negative relationships. 

Tina’s therapy style is nonjudgmental and accepting, as she creates a space with her clients that is both safe and caring. She practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and avoid the negative thought patterns that hold them back from feeling confident in themselves and their decisions. She also practices a therapy approach called Internal Family System, helping clients better understand how the various parts of themselves can work together for an integrated self. She believes all clients can cope with adversity, and her goal is to encourage them to find the right coping strategies for their current challenges. 

Tina earned a Master’s degree from California State University Northridge. She has over 10 years of experience working in the mental health setting, and she strives to give clients the skills they need to manage their emotions and grow healthy relationships with others.
