Sasha Avanesov, PhD

I am an experienced clinical psychologist who is driven by a deep passion to help people transform their lives, as well as the lives of others, society, and the world.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, navigating life's stresses, screaming at the world going bonkers, coping with trauma, experiencing despair, seeking answers to spiritual or existential questions, or pursuing personal growth, I will work hard to empower and help you. I am fully committed to helping you with your deepest suffering and highest aspirations. Together, we will explore, clarify, and address issues at the root of your concerns, and nurture the emergence of your inner wisdom, integrating body, mind, and spirit, guiding you towards inner peace and the fulfillment of your vision for your life.

I have over 16 years of expertise in residential and outpatient settings at one of the foremost South Bay addiction treatment centers. Although I have specialized in treating substance use disorders, I also have significant experience working with patients experiencing co-occurring anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and other mental health challenges.

Whatever you might be experiencing right now, my heart goes out to you. Life can really suck. At times, seemingly impossible to “figure out”. Through my own life experiences and clinical work, I have experienced and witnessed profound suffering. Through all of that, I’ve learned there is a way. Reach out. I’d love to hear from you and help you find that way.
