Sadaf Skandari, LCSW

Hello! My name is Sadaf Skandari, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. As a first-generation Afghan-American born and raised in the Bay Area, I deeply understand the challenges cultural barriers and stigma can pose to accessing mental health care, especially within marginalized communities. I work from a culturally responsive lens and value each person's lived experiences, especially if you have felt misunderstood, overwhelmed or like you've had to keep it all together for too long. I am here to help you make sense of what's not working, identify what is, and move toward change at a pace that feels manageable and real. I value open communication and regularly check-in to ensure our work aligns with your evolving needs.
