Trauma Therapist in Oakland CA

A Personal Approach to Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

I’m Nioosha Tavallaei, a psychotherapist and founder of Nioosha Tavallaei Therapy. I provide therapy that’s more than just talking—it's a deep, intentional process rooted in care, cultural understanding, and evidence-based methods. My work draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR. Each session is tailored to honor your unique story and the resilience you already carry.

Finding Strength in the Struggle

Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals or caregivers who seem outwardly successful but carry the invisible weight of trauma, anxiety, or relationship challenges. Some feel stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional disconnection. Others are quietly navigating the aftershocks of childhood trauma, grief, or major life transitions.

These aren’t just challenges—they’re doorways into greater awareness and strength. Working with a trauma therapist in Oakland CA can help you safely process your pain, gain clarity, and create more fulfilling relationships—with others and yourself.

What Starting Therapy Looks Like

Beginning therapy with me is simple and supportive. We’ll start with a free 15-minute consultation to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. From there, we’ll schedule your first 50-minute session.

You’ll find that sessions move at your pace. Whether we use IFS to explore internal parts, or EMDR to gently release stuck memories, I provide the tools and presence to guide your healing process. As your trauma therapist in Oakland CA, I prioritize your comfort, boundaries, and readiness each step of the way.
