Fun facts

Superpower
🦸My super power is my creativity! I love to keep session engaging and fun, and I strive to create a safe and enjoyable space for the client.

‍

Free Time
☀️ I love to coach my 9 year olds soccer team. I also enjoy art and love to draw and paint. My favorite thing to do is spend my weekends exploring the outdoors with my two boys.

‍

Self-Care
✨ I love a good nap! I also enjoy doodling and sketching, and curling up with a good book.

“Shazia is amazing! She is the perfect fit... She’s helping my daughter so much which in turn manifests as me having a happier, more carefree and fun-loving daughter. With Shazia’s expertise, I feel so much more confident as a parent that I always have an expert to lean on. She’s amazing.”

"I am so thankful for Shazia in my daughter's life. My daughter is so much healthier and has more tools to utilize as a result of the ongoing sessions. I also get on going support too and that is so valuable.”

Therapist

Shazia Bashiruddin

LMFT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist from Northern California with over 10 years of experience working with youth and families in school, home and clinic settings. I worked primarily with children on the autism spectrum for 6 years, as a supervisor and clinical director. I love working with children and teens because I believe they are inherently resilient, empathetic, and open to change.
