About Nova Psychotherapy

Sherry Mazaherian, LMFT, virtual trauma therapist in California

Hi,

 

I’m Shaghayegh "Sherry" Mazaherian, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #159372) in California. My clinical background is grounded in trauma-focused work with veterans, survivors of domestic violence, and adults navigating complex emotional stress. I offer therapy in English and Persian. Alongside this focused work, I also support adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the impact of difficult life experiences — integrating EMDR, CBT, trauma-informed, and attachment-based approaches to support emotional regulation, deeper insight, and sustainable change.
