Encino, California therapist: Sam Naimi, licensed clinical social worker
Serving Black / African American

Sam Naimi

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
I believe in the transformative power of psychotherapy. The psychotherapy I practice is grounded in contemporary psychoanalysis, an approach that’s curious about your inner world and attuned to unconscious patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. This kind of therapy doesn’t just reduce symptoms; it helps you understand yourself on an incredibly intimate level, creating lasting change in how you experience yourself and how you show up in your relationships.

I'm Kim, founder of Fuller Life Concepts, and I've spent over 25 years helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, and the weight of just getting through the day. Every therapist on my team is someone I personally selected—not just for their credentials, but because I'd trust them with the people I love most. I've built this team to ensure you find someone who actually gets your experience—whether that's trauma, cultural identity, parenting challenges, or anything in between. Therapy with us is straightforward: We talk honestly, figure out what's keeping you stuck, and find a way forward—at your pace, without judgment. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up. Book a session. Let's get you feeling like yourself again.
