Fedra Tehrani

My name is Fedra Tehrani, and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I realize that it may have taken some time to get here. So, I would like to share a little more about myself to see if our work together would best meet your needs. Presently, I work out of my office in Danville but also provide online therapy to clients in all of California.

My therapeutic approach comes from a client centered whole person care. This is due to my past work experience within various levels of treatment at the San Mateo County inpatient and outpatient programs. I had opportunities to learn and practice various specialized treatment approaches (CBT, DBT, MI, seeking safety) to address substance use due to past experience of abuse, neglect, and trauma. Presently, I specialize in psychodynamic therapy supporting young adults and adolescents with developing & rebuilding a healthier sense of self. 

I’ve always been curious about social behavior, which naturally led me to study social psychology for my bachelor’s and clinical psychology for my master’s. After graduating, I worked as a Rehab Therapist at San Mateo County Hospital’s acute crisis unit, helping clients with trauma, abuse, anxiety, substance use, and thought disorders. Later, I was promoted to Rehab Director, where I supervised other therapists and gained valuable experience in crisis intervention and treatment. When I started my family, I wanted more flexibility, so I transitioned to Edgewood Center, where I worked with adolescents and young adults with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. It was there that I strengthened my clinical skills, becoming trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and other trauma-informed approaches, while also learning mindfulness and coping tools to support my clients’ healing.
