Sanam ShamtobiPsychologist, PhD (she, her)

About

My practice is the ideal fit for a woman in the perinatal or early-motherhood season who feels overwhelmed, overstimulated, or unlike herself. She’s juggling fertility stress, pregnancy emotions, postpartum shifts, or the mental load of raising young children. She wants to feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to herself and her partner. Most of all, she wants to stop just “getting through the day” and feel supported, understood, and steady again. We collaborate to identify areas of “stuck-ness” to create actionable steps towards change, and process the emotions that come up along the way. I founded The Mother Hood, a West Los Angeles practice devoted to maternal mental health and therapy for moms and hopeful moms. I am active and involved in your therapy sessions and help both individuals and couples navigate the struggles and challenges of life while reminding them to celebrate their strengths and successes.
