About Payam
Payam Kade is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 26 years of practice in California. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, and depression. He speaks English and Persian and accepts international clients. He describes therapy as a place to speak honestly without judgment and offers support as people take steps toward change.
Payam draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, building coping skills, and strengthening confidence. He works with clients to identify patterns that underlie repeated conflicts or painful feelings and then tries out practical alternatives together.
His background includes long clinical experience across a range of concerns, from mood disorders to trauma and issues around relationships and separation. He also addresses related problems such as chronic illness, compulsive behaviors, abandonment issues, and guilt or shame. That breadth helps him connect common threads across a person's history and present-day difficulties.
In sessions he aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Therapy often includes setting concrete goals, practicing new responses, and reviewing progress between meetings. He frames the work as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the pace and focus.
