Mae Ana Sefami, LCSW
Welcome!
I believe each of us carries an inner healing intelligence, and that healing and growth are possible no matter what experiences have brought you to this moment. Providing a warm space for clients to develop wellbeing, I offer acceptance, deep listening, curiosity, and compassionate challenge. I work with individuals who deal with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, traumatic stress disorders (PTSD, complex PTSD, Dissociative Disorders), relationship challenges, difficulties with life changes (divorce, marriage, illness, pregnancy), and spiritual and existential struggles.
Why choose to work with me?
I am committed to providing effective psychotherapy. For the past ten years I've been dedicated to learning the science and art of healing. My goal is to help you feel better as quickly as possible. My passion for healing drives me to continually build my skills through regular training, supervision, and consultation with expert therapists. I also stay up-to-date by reading relevant books and articles and exploring new knowledge wherever I can.
Over the years, I've gained training in a variety of approaches, including ISTDP (which forms the foundation of my work), EMDR, Ketamine therapy, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and in-depth training in dissociative disorders and trauma treatment. From this experience, I've learned that effective therapy involves creating a safe and trusting relationship, exploring thought patterns and defense mechanisms, working with sensations and experiences in the body, and building new, healing experiences during our sessions together.
