NoöPath was created as a place where therapy feels thoughtful, grounded, and genuinely collaborative. The work centers on understanding the patterns that shape your inner world, the cultural and relational context you come from, and the meaning you assign to your experiences, not just the symptoms you carry.

I’m Dr. Rodika Vahdat, a California-licensed clinical psychologist. My training and research have focused on how culture, identity, and beliefs about mental health shape emotional wellbeing and help-seeking. Over the years, I’ve supported adults and older adults through anxiety, grief, self-criticism, identity concerns, and life transitions, with particular experience working alongside immigrant and bicultural clients. This lens helps ensure that therapy honors your lived experience, not a template. At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change grows from insight, agency, and a strong therapeutic relationship.

My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a steady, safety-focused awareness of how stress, loss, and overwhelming experiences can shape the nervous system and sense of self. The goal is not to force change, but to cultivate clarity, flexibility, and alignment with what matters most to you.

I strive to create a space defined by respect, curiosity, and authenticity, so you don’t have to face challenges alone, and so any change that emerges feels safe, meaningful, and aligned with the life you want to live.
