Farnaz Safaei, LMFT

If you feel stuck in the same arguments, walking on eggshells, or slowly growing apart, you're not alone and it doesn't have to stay this way. I specialize in helping couples break negative cycles, strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and feel more emotionally connected in ways that actually work using the Gottman Method. This approach gives you clear, practical tools to better understand each other and navigate conflict without it turning into the same cycle. I also work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, or life transitions. Together, we focus on understanding whats keeping you stuck while building tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control. If youre new to therapy or unsure where to start, thats completely okay. Ill meet you where you are, and well move at a pace that feels comfortable while helping you make meaningful progress.

Novara Counseling is a private practice offering therapy for couples, teens, and adults in San Diego and throughout California via Telehealth. My goal is to provide a supportive, thoughtful space where clients feel comfortable slowing down, gaining clarity, and working toward meaningful change. In my practice, I focus on creating therapy that feels both compassionate and practical. Sessions are tailored to each clients needs and paced at a level that feels manageable, while still helping you make steady progress. Whether we are working on relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem, or life transitions, I aim to offer tools and insight that you can carry into everyday life outside of therapy. I offer both in-person sessions in San Diego and secure virtual sessions throughout California for those who prefer the convenience and flexibility of online therapy.
