About Ani
Ani Asulyan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of clinical experience. She has a long history working as a substance abuse counselor and brings that background to help people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Ani aims to meet people where they are and to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and motivational interviewing to address substance use and recovery. She helps people build coping skills, increase motivation, and make concrete changes that fit their lives. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding the feelings that drive behavior.
Ani emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental stance in the room. She pays attention to attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and patterns like impulsivity or control issues that can get in the way of recovery and relationships. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, caregiver stress, loneliness, and questions of life purpose.
People who want structured, goal-oriented work alongside a compassionate clinician may find her style helpful. She works in English and Armenian for clients in California. The first meetings typically focus on goals and an initial plan to begin addressing the most pressing problems.
