Therapy with Laili                   

Where your story meets the wisdom of your mind, body, and heart.

About me

I’m Laili Beheshti (she/her), a bilingual (English/Farsi) Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in Orange County, CA. As a daughter of Iranian immigrants, I value storytelling’s power in shaping identity and preserving culture. This understanding forms the core of my practice, where I invite clients to explore the stories they carry about themselves and their lives.

At the heart of my approach is an integrative model that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Informed by Eastern philosophies and narrative, collaborative practices, I recognize that our physical, emotional, and mental states are intricately connected. I’m especially drawn to the ways our personal and cultural stories shape how we relate to ourselves and others, and I hold deep respect for how healing happens in the context of connection—both within and between us.

Whether you're looking to refine, rewrite, or rediscover your story, I would be honored to support you along the way.

Healing happens when we remember who we are

My services

Individual Therapy

As the expert on your own life, you bring invaluable insights and knowledge to the therapeutic process. Together, we will deconstruct your concerns, invite reflection, examine the implications of sociocultural influences, and uncover a richer understanding of your preferred life. 

Couples Therapy

Together, we’ll work to understand the dynamics or patterns influencing your relationship. Whether it’s miscommunication, mistrust, intimacy, or life changes, we approach your concerns as an additional member of the relationship to create space from blame and allow for better understanding of the problem and exploration of your hopes for your relationship.  

My Approach

My approach understands healing as a process of returning to yourself—of remembering who you are beneath the noise, the pressure, and the stories that no longer serve you. My work is grounded in a holistic, collaborative approach that honors the full complexity of who you are.

In our sessions, I bring curiosity and care as we explore the narratives that have shaped your identity and the sensations that live in your body. I draw from both narrative and somatic practices to support deeper self-awareness and alignment. Rather than pathologizing, I trust your inner wisdom and resilience, and together, we’ll make space for healing that feels true to your values, intentions, and hopes.
