Yalda Hasara, LCSW

Yalda Hasara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of clinical experience, with particular expertise in grief and depression. She has worked with individuals, teens, and families facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, and career transitions, and she has substantial experience supporting people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.

Her therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered, characterized by respect, sensitivity, and a focus on each person’s strengths and resilience rather than labels. She tailors care to individual needs, helping clients build coping skills and move toward clearer goals while honoring their personal pace and values.

Yalda integrates techniques from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive traditions, selecting interventions that fit the unique concerns and goals presented in therapy. She frames clinical work around practical coping strategies as well as deeper exploration of patterns and relational themes when helpful.

Recognizing the courage involved in beginning therapy, she views her role as providing guidance, support, and empowerment as clients work toward greater wellbeing and fulfillment. She looks forward to the opportunity to work with clients who are ready to engage in that process.
