Scheherazade Collins, LMFT

Scheherazade Collins is a California-licensed clinician with 12 years of professional experience who brings a strengths-based, client-focused approach to therapy. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she integrates clinical training with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, eating and attention challenges, and performance-related concerns.

She has extensive experience using QEEG-guided neurofeedback, a brain-training method informed by quantitative electroencephalography, to address a range of symptoms and diagnoses and to support elite performers seeking an edge in sports and the performing arts. While serving as a primary therapist at Linden’s Attention Learning Center, she worked with hundreds of adults and children and developed confidence in neurofeedback as a supportive intervention for attention disorders, mood disorders, and autism spectrum presentations.

Scheherazade pursued additional education under the guidelines of the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance, the organization that establishes standards for biofeedback practice, and she is a HeartMath Certified Practitioner for stress management. Her background as a former professional ballerina and training in sport psychology shape her particular interest in peak performance, mental skills training, performance anxiety, coping skills, career transitions, and recovery from athletic injury.

Her work extends to gifted children and people in high-pressure professions, and she emphasizes collaboration and the client’s own expertise in shaping treatment. Her training and varied clinical experiences inform a practical, skills-oriented approach that supports clients in meeting their goals.
