About Scheherazade
Scheherazade Collins is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, and build healthier self esteem. Her background also includes work on ADHD, addictions, grief, mood disorders, and performance concerns for people in high-pressure roles.
She centers therapy on the person’s own knowledge of their life. Sessions emphasize practical tools and small changes that add up over time. Scheherazade draws on client-centered methods to make space for what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
Scheherazade has extensive experience with neurofeedback, including QEEG-guided approaches, used alongside talk therapy for attention and mood concerns and for peak performance work. She trained with the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance guidelines and is a HeartMath Certified Practitioner for stress management. Those offerings are presented as part of a broader, individualized plan when appropriate.
A former professional ballerina, she brings lived insight into performing under pressure. That background informs work with elite performers and people in high-stress jobs, where the focus is on managing performance anxiety, building mental skills, and navigating career transitions.
She works in English and practices in California. To begin, clients use the site matching process to connect and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
