Foojan Zeine, LMFT, PsyD - Expert

I am a Psychotherapist and a Marriage & Family therapy expert.   There is a yearning in each one of our hearts to live a fulfilled life, to be intimate with our mate, to feel connected to our self and people around us. Yet, so many times we find ourselves so far away from the person that we yearn to be and the person we love. Lack of communication skills, lack of having a healthy role model, Lack of awareness about all of the causes of our sabotaging patterns, and lack of integration of all of our inner parts creates obstacles from within and holds us from being intimate with our self and the ones we love.

My approach is to meet you, listen to your needs, wants and desires. Together we will determine whether therapy or coaching would be best suited for your needs. Determining your goal, we will walk together toward obtaining your goal. I will act as a mirror for you to see the parts of you that you have not been aware of, parts of you who have remained young and hurt due to childhood traumas, perceptions and/or decision makings. Healing the past will allow you to complete the past, become open to the present and choose the future from a new beginning. With many different interventions, you will learn techniques to become aware and identify your thought, emotional and behavioral patterns. Identify the patterns that work for you and the ones that don’t. Exploring new ways of being, thinking, and behaving that allows you to experience freedom from the unwanted thoughts and to feel the love in your heart, and to reach and maintain the fulfilling life that you want and deserve to have.

I have been a psychotherapist and a life/executive coach for over 25 years and have had to pleasure of working with a  diverse group from a variety of cultures.  I work with individuals and couples with what life brings to them in my offices in Irvine, Brentwood and Woodland Hills, California; and via Skype.  I am an expert in working with clients who are suffering from depression, anxiety, addictive behaviors, traumas, and relational problems.  I am the originator and the author for “Awareness Integration” psychotherapeutic model, a multi-modality approach and intervention toward minimizing Depression and Anxiety while improving self-esteem and self-confidence. www.awarenessintegration.com

Over the course of my career, I have been able to discuss my methodology and psychotherapeutic teachings in a variety of ways, including in the media, literature, and through presentations and guest speaking positions. For example, I host a live international satellite television and radio show “Inner Voice”, addressing psychological issues relevant to the general public, a frequent guest speaker at FOX news and KIRN 670 AM.  In addition, I was an invited guest on the Dr. Phil show in 2005.

My recent book "Life Reset- the Awareness Integration Path to Create the Life You Want" 201,  is a great self-help with step by step plan that leads you to a more fulfilling life.  My other published works include a chapter titled “Life Coaching” in “A Practice that Works: Tips and Strategies for your Stand Alone Therapy Practice”, 2005, and an article titled “Moving Away, Moving Toward – Immigration & the Acculturation process” in “Family Therapy” Journal Jan/Feb 2008 pg.26-27. Because of my comprehensive knowledge in Online Therapy, I was able to co-author “Online Therapy: A Therapist's Guide to Expanding Your Practice”, published by W.W. Norton in 2005.

I have been fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to present internationally and across the United States. I have been a guest speaker at many academic and nonacademic institutions, including UCLA, UCSB, USC, Aliant University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Harvard University.

Through the past 20 years of meeting amazing people from across the world who are committed to their personal growth, I have seen the dedication that my clients have toward living their excellent self, commitment to living a fulfilled life, fully expressing love to their loved one’s, being emotionally balanced, being joyous in their intimate relationships, being a loving and effective parent, creating success in their career and work environment, and creating vibrant community.
