Scheherazade Collins, LMFT

Scheherazade Collins is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with twelve years of clinical experience helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, motivation and attention challenges, self-esteem concerns, and peak performance goals. She frames therapy around the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to overcome difficult patterns and reach meaningful goals.

Over the past decade she has integrated QEEG-guided neurofeedback into her work, using brainwave-informed approaches to address a range of symptoms and diagnoses. As a primary therapist at Linden’s Attention Learning Center, she worked with hundreds of adults and children and gained practical experience applying neurofeedback for attention disorders, mood conditions, and autism spectrum presentations. Her training included coursework aligned with the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance guidelines, and she also holds certification as a HeartMath Certified Practitioner for stress management.

Drawing on a background as a former professional ballerina and training in sport psychology, she has a special interest in supporting elite performers and professionals in high-stress fields. Her practice emphasizes peak performance strategies, mental skills training, performance anxiety management, coping skills, career transitions, and recovery from athletic injuries. She also works with gifted children and others thriving in high-pressure environments.

Scheherazade Collins approaches therapy with a collaborative, strengths-based stance and offers evidence-informed tools to help clients build resilience, improve functioning, and pursue their personal and professional aspirations.
