Fazleen Sohani, APC, M.S., is a therapist with a multidisciplinary background in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as training in business and creative arts from UCLA. Her work is grounded in a holistic, integrative approach to healing that recognizes the transformative potential within life’s challenges. As Rumi reflects, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you,” a belief that aligns with her view of therapy as a space where pain can be explored with compassion and gradually transformed into insight, growth, and resilience.
She works with individuals, couples, and families on the patterns, dynamics, and stories that shape how they relate to themselves and others. This creates space to shift what isn’t working and strengthen what is. Grounded in existential-humanistic psychotherapy, she understands grief and loss as experiences that extend beyond death, often emerging through major life transitions such as relational endings, career changes, and shifts in identity and purpose.
Fazleen supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and relational challenges. She has a particular passion for couples work, including premarital counseling and therapy addressing conflict, emotional distance, communication breakdowns, infidelity, trauma, and complex family dynamics.
A multilingual, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive therapist, Fazleen integrates her creative background into the therapeutic process through storytelling, journaling, and mindfulness, as well as experiential approaches like improvisation and adventure-based therapy. These methods support deeper self-awareness, emotional expression, and connection.
