About Shirin
Shirin Roberts is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and low self esteem. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping someone take the first step toward feeling more capable and hopeful.
She practices in a client-centered way. That means she listens first, and builds the work around each person's needs. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through worries and decisions without judgment, and to try practical steps that fit daily life.
Shirin blends talk-based methods with focused tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness. She also uses EMDR when trauma memories are a central concern, and draws on solution-focused strategies to set achievable short-term goals. These tools are picked to match the person's goals rather than as fixed prescriptions.
She has long experience supporting people with coping skills for life changes, grief, addiction concerns, sleep problems, and career pressures. Shirin also works with issues like compassion fatigue, codependency, and caregiving stress. Her goal is to help each person build skills they can use after sessions end.
Working with Shirin is a collaborative process. She helps clients clarify what matters most, try changes in small steps, and track what works. Those looking for a calm, practical ally in therapy will find a steady, experienced presence in her practice.
