Healing and Empowerment Clinical Therapy Services in the San Francisco Bay area and Northern California

Take your time to find yourself and rebuild!

Welcome to my practice!

Hello and welcome! 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. My name is Fedra Tehrani, and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I have been working close to 15 years in this field, four of which has been in my private practice. I am a mother of two girls and my family resides in the Tri-Valley of the Bay area. Currently, I am licensed in the state of California, and I provide both online and In-person therapy at my Danville office.

My initial interest in this field came from a curiosity about social behavior as well as an innate tendency towards a mediator role. So, naturally I decided to obtain a bachelor's degree in social psychology and later a master's degree in clinical psychology. After graduating I gained my clinical hours as a Rehab Therapist at the San Mateo County hospital’s acute crisis unit. I obtained training in individual and group therapy treating clients with past trauma and abuse with symptoms of social anxiety, avoidance, dual substance use, and thought disorders. I was then promoted as a Rehab Director and supervised other trainees and therapists within my department for the second half of my time there. 

Though I gained a lot of experience and very much enjoyed working at the inpatient unit, I decided that I needed more flexibility in my schedule as I was starting my own family. So, I took a position at Edgewood Center, a San Mateo County community-based outpatient program, working with adolescents and young adults.  I was very appreciative of gaining a new perspective and approach to working with clients with neurodivergent disorders (Attention disorders, Autism Spectrum). At Edgewood I was able to solidify my clinical approaches and skills, including DBT, assisting my clients to develop healthier coping skills and assertiveness tools to rebuild their confidence.

In my recent work at my private practice, I have become more interested in supporting my clients gain a stronger sense of self and awareness of their mind-body connection. Thus, I have invested in learning new practice approaches to treat somatic symptoms and mood disorders as it relates to past trauma. Still, overall, I treat mostly young adults and adults with an integrative approach which includes the application of array of different treatment tools tailored to their presenting needs. Please see the above link, “Your Journey” if you like to inquire further.

Therapy process

At this time, I am mindful of keeping a select number of clients in my practice to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Our work together would involve a collaborative effort and an equal involvement from you about the therapeutic experience and feedback towards your goals.  This journey may test your patience and willingness to explore outcomes, but most often it’s the subtle gradual embodied improvements that will last. Working with me may also feel as though you have a ride along partner by my recognizing your needs to explore and evaluate your concerns while at times integrating my input as requested or needed.

Therapy focus

Individual psychodynamic therapy & counseling for young adults and adults coping with anxiety, depression, stressful life events, role and stages of life changes/transitions. Building new CBT/DBT and behavioral modification skills in addressing confidence, learning difficulties with most disorders. Also, prior experience with healing past trauma wounds/abuse, as well as current unhealthy attachments in relationships. Application of Guided Imagery, Meditation and grounding techniques. My practice is based in Danville, CA, but I’m also offering online therapy.

  • I really didn’t know what to expect when seeking therapy but I can say that dr Tehrani has been amazing!! She’s really helped me change the way I think about myself and how to just appreciate myself. I feel better equipped when I get panick attacks and anxiety, it’s easier for me to talk my self down and to relax.

    AJ

  • Fedra taught me so much about letting go and becoming more aware of my needs!

    KF

  • I worked with Fedra my junior and senior year of undergrad for issues of anxiety and trauma. Fedra was enjoyable to talk to and very conversational but still able to hit on serious issues through an effective use of IFS.

    AP

  • Fedra is very easy to talk to and also direct. I really appreciated her IFS approach to my sessions, it was the first time that theory was used and I personally found the exercises very helpful. Fedra is compassionate and understanding, and also guides you to do what's right for you without judgement or persuasion, I appreciated this very much. I felt heard and understood and she helped me to see things about the parent I was struggling with through a new lens. I saw Fedra weekly then bi-monthly for 7 consecutive months and she helped me to reframe my thinking. I recommend making an appointment with Fedra.

    Client - RG

  • I needed a quick mental “tune up” during a stressful time, and Dr. Fedra was easily available and efficient, giving me the tools and strategies I needed to address my anxiety. She was also very flexible in terms of timing to fit around my crazy work schedule.

    Client - SC

  • Dr. Fedra was instrumental in my mental well-being while going through a rough period of life. I was experiencing sickness in the family, Covid was extremely isolating, work was chaotic and I needed someone to help me organize my thoughts and feelings as well someone to guide me through uncharted territories with new tools to function better daily and she provided that and much more. She helped me listen to my body more, to process negative thoughts in a productive way and most importantly I felt very empowered as a woman and a leader within my corporate environments. Also, I am an Iranian-American and having that in common with her helped me immensely. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking clarity and could use new tools in their daily lives.

    Client - NA

  • Working with Fedra has been amazing. She’s helped me connect the pieces to the many puzzles of my experiences, offered insights and perspectives to support my healing, and overall has made me feel safe, heard, and empowered to live the life I want. I cannot stress enough how much Fedra’s services have positively impacted my life.
