About Ani
Ani Asulyan is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of experience. She brings a long background in substance abuse counseling and a steady focus on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. Ani speaks both English and Armenian and works with each person in a respectful, compassionate way.
Her earlier work in addiction counseling gives her a clear view of recovery challenges. That experience informs how she helps people facing substance use concerns and related stress. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and motivational interviewing to tailor sessions to individual needs.
Ani also helps people build practical coping skills and increase motivation. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of chronic illness. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing panic or intrusive memories, and addressing guilt or shame.
She aims to create a therapy plan that fits a person’s goals and life situation. Ani emphasizes small, achievable steps and straightforward strategies that people can use between sessions. Her approach combines structure with empathy so people feel heard while working toward change.
If you are considering therapy for mood concerns, addiction, trauma, or chronic stress, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. After that, scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability.
