Healing and Empowerment Clinical Therapy Services in the San Francisco Bay area and Northern California
Take your time to find yourself and rebuild!
Welcome to my practice!
Hello and welcome! I realize that it may have taken some time to get here. So, I would like to share a little more about myself to see if our work together would best meet your needs. My name is Fedra Tehrani, and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I have been working close to 15 years in this field, four of which has been in my private practice. I am a mother of two girls and my family resides in the Tri-Valley of the Bay area. Currently, I am licensed in the state of California, and I provide both online and In-person therapy at my Danville office.
My initial interest in this field came from a curiosity about social behavior as well as an innate tendency towards a mediator role. So, naturally I decided to obtain a bachelor’s degree in social psychology and later a master’s degree in clinical psychology. After graduating I gained my clinical hours as a Rehab Therapist at the San Mateo County hospital’s acute crisis unit. I obtained training in individual and group therapy treating clients with past trauma and abuse with symptoms of social anxiety, avoidance, dual substance use, and thought disorders. I was then promoted as a Rehab Director and supervised other trainees and therapists within my department for the second half of my time there.
Though I gained a lot of experience and very much enjoyed working at the inpatient unit, I decided that I needed more flexibility in my schedule as I was starting my own family. So, I took a position at Edgewood Center, a San Mateo County community-based outpatient program, working with adolescents and young adults. I was very appreciative of gaining a new perspective and approach to working with clients with neurodivergent disorders (Attention disorders, Autism Spectrum). At Edgewood I was able to solidify my clinical approaches and skills, including DBT, assisting my clients to develop healthier coping skills and assertiveness tools to rebuild their confidence.
In my recent work at my private practice, I have become more interested in supporting my clients gain a stronger sense of self and awareness of their mind-body connection. Thus, I have invested in learning new practice approaches to treat somatic symptoms and mood disorders as it relates to past trauma. Still, overall, I treat mostly young adults and adults with an integrative approach which includes the application of array of different treatment tools tailored to their presenting needs. Please see the above link, “Your Journey” if you like to inquire further.

Therapy process
At this time, I am mindful of keeping a select number of clients in my practice to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Our work together would involve a collaborative effort and an equal involvement from you about the therapeutic experience and feedback towards your goals. This journey may test your patience and willingness to explore outcomes, but most often it’s the subtle gradual embodied improvements that will last. Working with me may also feel as though you have a ride along partner by my recognizing your needs to explore and evaluate your concerns while at times integrating my input as requested or needed.
Therapy focus
Individual psychodynamic therapy & counseling for young adults and adults coping with anxiety, depression, stressful life events, role and stages of life changes/transitions. Building new CBT/DBT and behavioral modification skills in addressing confidence, learning difficulties with most disorders. Also, prior experience with healing past trauma wounds/abuse, as well as current unhealthy attachments in relationships. Application of Guided Imagery, Meditation and grounding techniques. My practice is based in Danville, CA, but I’m also offering online therapy.
