Cherie Azodi, PsyD. LMFT
Dr. Cherie Azodi is a Licensed Associate Psychologist and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, bringing over 15 years of experience in clinical practice, leadership, and behavioral health program development. She provides expert assessment and treatment for children, adolescents, and adults across outpatient, community, and telehealth settings, addressing a broad spectrum of challenges including trauma, autism spectrum differences, ADHD, OCD, OCPD, eating disorders, crises, and personality disorders.
Dr. Azodi integrates evidence-based, research-supported interventions tailored to each client’s needs. Her approach combines trauma-informed therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, the Gottman Method, and cognitive-behavioral and skills-based strategies. This integrative model supports emotional regulation, symptom reduction, improved daily functioning, and stronger interpersonal relationships.
In couples and family work, Dr. Azodi helps partners rebuild trust, resolve chronic conflict, and deepen emotional connection through structured, outcome-driven methods. She emphasizes collaborative case formulation, practical skill-building, and a strengths-based approach that honors neurodiversity and complex trauma histories. Beyond direct clinical work, Dr. Azodi has led high-performing multidisciplinary teams, developed training programs, improved clinical operations, and authored psychoeducational content used in telehealth and behavioral health platforms nationwide. She is deeply committed to culturally responsive care, translating research into practical interventions, and supporting
clients in moving from crisis to resilience.
