Ana Dolatabadi, PsyD, MA, Psy30094
Hello, I’m Dr. Ana, helping people unlock their potential and enhance their mental and emotional health is central to my practice. Whether you’re navigating stress, seeking personal growth, or working to improve your overall well-being, I’m here to offer support. As the Clinical Director of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at the University of California, San Francisco, and a practicing clinical psychologist, I’ve spent years helping individuals and organizations find clarity, function more optimally, and bring more joy into their lives.
What I truly love about my work is connecting with people—hearing their unique stories and creating an environment where they feel truly seen and heard as they pursue a better life. My approach blends empathy and understanding with practical, evidence-based strategies. I believe well-being goes beyond managing stress—it’s about empowering you to live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
With a specialty in high-pressure environments like healthcare, technology, and the political sector, I specialize in helping professionals navigate challenges in both their personal and professional lives. Each session is personalized to meet your specific needs, utilizing a blend of therapeutic techniques to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.

I believe well-being is holistic—it encompasses mental, emotional, and even physical health. My approach focuses not just on addressing symptoms but on empowering you to live fully and authentically. Whether you’re seeking support in your personal life or aiming to enhance your professional wellness, I offer a compassionate space in which you can reflect, explore, and grow.
In addition to individual therapy, I lead workshops on burnout, emotional intelligence, communication, wellness, and meditation for organizations like UCSF, Stanford, CSU East Bay, and the private sector. These workshops are designed to provide practical, accessible tools for enhancing both personal well-being and workplace culture.
I understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and I’m here to support you through yours with care and respect. My goal is to help you discover new possibilities within yourself and create sustainable, positive change.
