The New Sahar team: Then & Now
Crystal Sarbuland
Hi there! I’m Crystal, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in sunny Southern California. As a woman of faith with a bi-cultural upbringing, I love helping people of diverse backgrounds heal and hope again. Being both practical and insightful, I assist my clients in finding the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, especially when life gets really tough. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to navigate the various streams of their lives and find new ways to see things. I am experienced in and passionate about the treatment of teens, faith counseling/faith crisis, anxiety, depression, traumatic memory, dual- culturalism, building healthy relationships, culturally sensitive topics, self-esteem and life transitions.
When I’m not seeing clients, I love Disneyland, interior decorating, serving at my church, traveling, mentoring young women, hitting the gym, watching movies, and spending quality time with my friends and family!

Hi, I’m Erim a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist born and raised in Southern California. I am passionate about normalizing therapy and believe whole heartedly in the benefits of creating time and space for healing. Facing challenges and difficult circumstances is a part of life and it is ok to reach out for help when you need it. I utilize a multi modal approach to therapy. I am experienced in treating anxiety, depression, children 0-5, those facing life transitions, faith informed communities, grief/loss, and multicultural challenges.
Outside of the office I love spending time with family and friends,growing spiritually, going on a run, using my Peloton, going to the
