Anahita (Ana) Kashefi, LMFT

Welcome! My name is Anahita (Ana) Kashefi and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Couples and Sex Therapist, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist licensed in California, Utah, and Colorado.

I specialize in ketamine and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and issues unique to the creative field. My approach is relational, attachment-based and in-depth, characterized by warmth, compassion and collaboration.

I have had the privilege of training other doctors and therapists in KAP with Dr. Phil Wolfson, a leader in pioneering the protocol for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and author of “The Ketamine Papers,” whom I continue to work alongside with in the Bay Area.

Throughout my fieldwork, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse clients from all walks of life, helping children and families healing from trauma, abuse, and mood disorders.

I have completed a post-Masters fellowship at UCLA in couples and sex therapy through The American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists (AACAST). Here, I had the privilege of learning from leading experts in the field of couples and sex therapy, where my training integrated the latest neuroscience and psychobiology research into the clinical approach of treating relational, couple and sexual issues. 

In addition to my work as a psychotherapist, I also studied music and am a seasoned musician and performer. Through these experiences, I understand the vulnerability, courage, and sacrifice it takes to pursue a creative career. I understand the ups and downs that can cause internal and external instability and how fear and damaging ideas can keep one from reaching their full potential. I help creatives recognize, nurture, and heal their inner artist to integrate soul, spirit, and identity back into the whole person.

I am currently based in Marin County, CA and see clients throughout the Bay Area.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Warmly,

Ana
