Ms Kobra Schabanpour

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“My clients report they feel comfortable expressing themselves and supported when working with me. I'm able to connect with them through active listening and offering them a genuine and safe environment. I am uniquely positioned to help clients navigate an increasingly multicultural and globalized world.”

About Me

Clients consistently report feeling comfortable expressing themselves and deeply supported in our sessions. I cultivate a genuine, safe environment through active listening, helping you feel truly heard. As a trilingual psychotherapist, I am uniquely positioned to guide individuals navigating our multicultural and globalised world. We can work together to foster understanding and resilience within yourself.

Approach

Clients often notice a space where they can speak openly and be met with steady attention; from that starting point I shape the work around what matters most to you. I offer in-person sessions in Glendale and virtual appointments in English, Farsi, and German, keeping scheduling practical and sessions predictable. Sessions move at your pace with focused reflection, skill-building, and advocacy when needed, and I may suggest brief between-session practices or check-ins to strengthen progress. People navigating trauma, grief, anxiety or life transitions often find this collaborative rhythm helpful.
