Ehsan Bozorgi
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Welcome to Under the Weeping Willows, a safe oasis.
This is a place to pause, take a breath, and begin your healing journey; without judgment, pressure, or the need to have it all figured out. Here, I work with you to untangle depression, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship chaos, identity puzzles, and life’s curveballs that hit faster than your morning coffee can kick in.I provide a welcoming, affirming space for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients, helping you slow down, notice patterns, and explore the deeper layers of your experience. I speak Farsi and offer online therapy throughout California. Think of this as your permission to finally pause...and yes, you can bring your metaphorical coffee, your messy feelings, and even your weirdest thoughts.
Work
Many of my clients come in saying things like:
“I feel stuck.”
“I’m always second-guessing myself.”
“I don’t know why I feel so heavy all the time.”
“I keep repeating patterns I promised myself I’d never repeat.”
“I look like I’m doing fine on the outside, but inside I feel empty or overwhelmed.”If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to have it all figured out.
What We Can Work On Together- Anxiety & Overthinking — feeling restless, constantly worrying, unable to relax- Depression & Low Motivation — sadness, heaviness, or struggling to find energy and joy- Self-Esteem & Confidence — learning to feel “good enough” without constant self-doubt- Trauma & Old Wounds — experiences that still affect how you feel and relate today- Relationship Struggles — repeating the same patterns, difficulty with trust, or conflict- Identity & Belonging — navigating family expectations, cultural pressures, or self-acceptance- Addiction & Recovery Support — whether for yourself or within your relationship
My ApproachI believe healing happens when you feel safe, supported, and understood. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I’ll bring my professional knowledge, but I’ll also bring my authentic self into the room. You don’t have to censor yourself or perform; this is a space where you can show up exactly as you are.My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and deeply respectful of your unique story. I especially value working with members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, and with clients who are navigating the complexities of being caught between different cultures, family expectations, and personal freedom.
What Healing Can Look LikeHealing doesn’t mean pretending the past never happened. It means loosening the grip it has on you, so you can finally feel lighter, calmer, and more confident. Our work together can help you:- Break free from cycles of shame and self-criticism- Build a stronger, more authentic sense of self- Find healthier ways of relating to others- Step out of survival mode and into a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and free
About
My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I began my career as a computer engineer, drawn to problem-solving and fascinated by principles of physics. But as I worked on myself and explored my own story, I became deeply interested in the complexities of psychology, the human brain, and the ways our relationships shape us. I realized that what many of us consider “normal” is not always healthy, and that healing requires courage, curiosity, and a supportive environment.Therapy gave me the chance to break cycles of generational trauma and learn new ways of living. That experience inspired me to pay it forward. Even though this work isn’t as lucrative as engineering, it feels infinitely more meaningful. Today, I help others who come from difficult backgrounds discover healthier, freer ways of being.Clients and colleagues often describe my style as warm, grounded, and deeply compassionate. While I bring my clinical knowledge into the room, I also bring my authentic self. I don’t hide behind a therapist mask; I show up as a real person who can hold your story with respect, curiosity, and grace. One colleague once described me as “a steady, compassionate presence who allows for deep, meaningful exploration and discovery of self.”My training includes:- Associate and Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology (and Information Systems) from Cal State Fullerton- Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from National University- 4+ years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and familiesI’ve worked with a wide range of clients, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and BIPOC clients, supporting them through challenges related to depression, trauma, self-esteem, addiction, relationships, and identity. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, with a special focus on helping clients release shame, heal from generational wounds, and build lasting confidence.Outside of therapy, I believe in living with balance and creativity. I love traveling, playing percussion music, painting, reading, and exploring art galleries and theaters. These passions keep me connected to joy, which I believe is an essential part of the healing journey.
