About Aaliyah Rashad

Aaliyah Rashad is a licensed California therapist with eight years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, motivation struggles, self-esteem concerns, and depression. As an LMFT she holds the credential of Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a designation that reflects training in relational and individual patterns and the practical skills to help clients pursue meaningful change.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is seen as the expert on their own life and goals. Aaliyah combines guidance and coaching to help clients align daily choices with long-term values. Sessions focus on exploring thought patterns, increasing emotional awareness, and identifying alternative ways of responding so clients can experience more joy, stronger relationships, and improved coping with life changes.
