Mental Health Counseling and Well-Being

About Us

License to Freedom’s mental health program aims to offer culturally-sensitive counseling services, addressing a variety of relational issues. Our counseling philosophies are situated in a decolonized poststructural feminism. Our mental health counselors utilize the theories of Narrative therapy to shape our practices and conversations. Our mental health program provides services for individual, couple, family, and group therapy contexts. Issues that we typically address include:

Domestic Violence / Intimate Partner Violence

  • Sexual Violence/Harassment/Boundaries

  • Family Relationships

  • Divorce

  • Custody

  • Anxiety/Depression/PTSD

  • Immigration and/or Refugee experiences

  • Parenting

Our team consists of Marriage and Family Therapists who are at various levels of training (Licensed, Associate, Trainee). They are a diverse, multi-lingual group of individuals that are trained to work specifically with the refugee and immigrant populations. Together, we work to provide wrap-around, holistic services that extend beyond the confines of a therapy room. We collaborate closely with our community partners, including the San Diego Domestic Violence Council, San Diego State University, Narrative Initiatives San Diego, and numerous domestic violence shelter and outreach programs throughout San Diego. All of our trainees are under the supervision of Navid Zamani, LMFT #98297.

As a non-profit, our mission is to provide affordable to free options for mental health counseling. We invite you to ask us more about our services to see how we can support you.
