Dr. Shirin Tabib

Dr. Shirin Tabib

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a doctorate in psychology and over 18 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I have advanced training in evidence-based and depth-oriented therapies, and I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma, attachment wounds, and complex emotional patterns that often don’t respond well to surface-level therapy.

My approach is thoughtful, structured, and deeply attuned. I don’t believe therapy should feel vague, passive, or endlessly exploratory. Clients often tell me they appreciate that sessions with me feel focused, emotionally grounded, and meaningfullthat we work both on understanding patterns and changing them.

I am especially skilled at helping people who feel stuck despite having tried therapy before, those navigating high-stress relationships, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm, and clients who want a therapist who can think critically, hold nuance, and offer real clinical guidance rather than just validation.

I take my work seriously and hold a high standard of care. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and tailored, not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to help clients gain clarity, emotional stability, and lasting change in a way that feels both supportive and effective.

Most suffering is a result of the ways we police ourselves, doubt ourselves, and become our own oppressors. When we feel pain it’s easy to get stuck in blame at ourselves or at others. Therapy is a path that overcomes these pitfalls. It’s about feeling what you feel without get lost in it, it’s about nurturing yourself back to strength, it’s about staying grounded in who you are and in creatively pursuing what you want. Sometimes there are wounds, scripts, and patterns that get in the way of accomplishing this. Good therapy brings attention and compassion to these so they can be processed and let go of.

Therapist

In-person • California


Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles of anxiety, depression, or conflict that keep you from feeling truly present in your life? I help individuals and couples who are ready for change—whether you're navigating mood disorders, relationship struggles, or intense family issues.

As a parent and a grandmother, and having served as a child custody mediator, I bring a wealth of real-world experience to issues like co-parenting and visitation planning. I also specialize in empowering women who are survivors of domestic violence, helping you move from a place of survival to one of strength and stability. Let's work together to create the sustainable change you deserve.
