Anahita (Ana) Kashefi, LMFT

Welcome! My name is Ana and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specialized expertise in ketamine- and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Earlier in my career, my fieldwork included working with children, families, and adults healing from trauma, abuse, and mood disorders. These experiences continue to inform my work today, particularly my attention to safety, attachment dynamics, and the nervous system—essential foundations for both traditional and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and for creating a container in which deep healing can unfold. I completed a post-master’s fellowship in couples and sex therapy at UCLA through the American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists (AACAST). My training integrated contemporary neuroscience and psychobiology with clinically sophisticated approaches to working with relational, sexual, and intimacy concerns. I support individuals and couples in deepening connection, gently addressing patterns that limit closeness, and cultivating more authentic, embodied, and emotionally attuned relationships. In addition to my clinical work, I am a trained musician and seasoned performer. Having lived a creative life myself, I understand the vulnerability, courage, and instability that often accompany creative pursuits. I work with artists and creatives to heal internal blocks, soften fear and self-doubt, and reconnect with the inner artist as an integrated part of identity, spirit, and self-expression. My office is located in the serene forests of West Marin, a perfect location to incorporate the deep healing power of nature. Please inquire if you are interested in learning more and I look forward to hearing from you. With compassion, Ana
