EVENING APPTS. I chose a PhD in Clinical Psychology in order to help individuals suffering with the emotional pain and upheaval that life's ups and downs can bring. I enjoy a close working relationship and collaborative trust based connection with my patients, which brings the reward of personal growth and stimulates the healing process. With more than 28 years in the mental health profession, and 25+ years in private practice, I continue working to expand my education and experience to include a wide variety of psychotherapeutical skill sets.

Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, and frequent worrying? My goal is to provide a safe, healing, and nurturing environment to explore and process your thoughts and feelings. Together we will identify underlying issues and self destructive behaviors that interfere with your life goals and dreams. Our goal is to find a healthy balance in your life, disconnect from your inner critic, and reconnect with your highest self.

Is your child experiencing problems at school, difficulty making or keeping friends, tantrums, constant worrying or nightmares? I have a passion for working with children and families, and I'm here to help. There is so much pressure today to be a "perfect" parent, and admitting that you need support can be difficult. My goal is to create a safe space for you and your child to work together to problem-solve and get through challenging times.

I have been a therapist for many years and I am passionate about helping others heal and grow. Life can be traumatic at times and we need a space to work on healing and finding our truth. I love helping clients find more peace in their lives, increasing positive relationships and identifying patterns that may be holding them back from finding greater contentment. I have experience working with clients with severe mental health challenges and I strongly value using a holistic approach. I show up authentically with my clients and I hope to help you reach your goals.

As an associate marriage and family therapist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized support to adult children who are caregivers to individuals with dementia and parents of children, teens, and young adults with different abilities. I also work with school-aged children dealing with anxiety. With a person-centered approach at the core of my practice, I strive to create a safe and empathetic space where clients can explore their emotions, navigate challenges, and find healing.

My focus is on deepening my patients' understanding of their own behaviors, improving their communication and coping skills, increasing confidence and self-image, and moving toward a healthier and more satisfying level of functioning. I am fluent in both English and Farsi.

I work collaboratively with individuals who are struggling to achieve the hopes and goals that they want for themselves. Whether you are launching into a new phase of life or are learning to thrive with ADHD, feelings of pride and peace can often be accompanied by hurdles. In order to live an exceptional life, you may need guidance and clarity to allow for goal setting and decision making to occur. I also provide educational consultation services for parents going through IEP/504 Plan processes. These services include report reviews, meeting attendance, and in-school observations.

You feel trapped somewhere between feeling like a kid and being an adult. While you may be working, in relationships, or managing certain aspects of life, you feel like you are chronically “faking it til you make it”. You find yourself imagining a life that feels more in control, but wonder how do I get there? You may not feel like you have all the answers, but what you do know is that you want to figure it out.

The decision to seek therapy can be one of the most important steps we take on the path to emotional wellness. It's also a decision that often comes about after a great deal of contemplation and reflection. I believe this path can ultimately lead to a more enriched and authentic life, as well as a new found inner truth and self-awareness. By addressing core issues that we often overlook, we can open the door for improvement not only within ourselves but also in our relationships with others.

Thank you for taking time to read about my practice. My name is Peter, and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 9 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults. I work with a warmer approach, incorporating evidence based practice in my sessions, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, motivation, and transitions. My background and experience include work in outpatient treatment, in-home outreach, and community practice settings.

I specialize in addressing concerns related to OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life adjustment issues. I aim to work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to find the solutions that work best for them. Before beginning my career as a therapist, I spent several years working in various sectors of the entertainment industry. This experience gave me a keen understanding of the many issues individuals in the field face. I seek to use my experience to help other professionals navigate the complexities and common issues seen within the business.

When everything is in proper order and balanced, healing unfolds naturally. However, we do not exist in a vacuum. Life can impact us in profound ways. We may at times feel stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless. Sometimes we cannot see the “elephant in the room” because it all looks gray, something blocks our view, we thought it was “normal”, or believed we were the “problem”. When we pinpoint the source of distress and enhance the tools under our belt, we have increased capacity for positive change. Through the therapeutic process, I strive to help others with self-discovery, personal growth, and increased quality of life.

I believe each one of us has the capacity and resilience to live a full, meaningful life, in spite of painful and traumatic experiences; but we need a place where the unbearable feelings can be expressed, shared, and understood-opening new paths and new possibilities for deeper meaning in our lives. I am privileged to walk alongside you and help you grow beyond the places you have felt disheartened and convinced that expansiveness and growth were out of reach. Therapy provides a profoundly relational context for emotional expansiveness, human understanding, and a growing capacity to bear life's inevitable trials.

I am passionate about helping my clients achieve their goals, whether it is to save their marriage; free them from destructive relationships; grow insight into their life's meaning, purpose and life's work; or find joy and happiness in a well developed relationship with God and others.

Sometimes we find ourselves in challenging, painful, or difficult situations that can leave us overwhelmed, hopeless, or stuck, preventing us from living the fulfilling life we are meant to live. You feel a sense of anxiety or dread that you can’t shake. You don’t feel supported by your partner. You are confronting emotional challenges that come with aging & life transitions. You are at your wit's end and don’t know where to turn. I'm here to tell you there is hope, you are not alone. I believe each person possesses unique strengths. Together we will highlight those strengths and work through the obstacles that inhibit you.

I am a faith-based counselor that integrates life issues for spiritual formation into greater levels of intimacy with the Lord. I have both pastoral and psychological training and 30+ years of experience to provide options for transformation. I do most of my therapy by Zoom

Hi, thanks for stopping by. My degree is Master of Science in Pastoral Counseling from Loyola College (University) in Baltimore, Md. I've been a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) in private practice for 32 years. I'm also the mother of a young adult, and am married (42+years). My specialties are couples therapy and individual therapy for adults & single parents. I am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist ('Couples' Dialogue'). I also specialize in reconciliation in relationships. Recovery issues, the grief cycle, vulnerability, and empathy are the primary focus in sessions -- including empathy for oneself.

Trusting and developing our capacities to navigate and effect even the most painful, stressful and overwhelming experiences, is key to overall health, well-being and growth. Understanding our early development and how it touches our present, defining boundaries; internally with thoughts, feelings and expectations, and externally with others, feeling secure in relationships, and being mindful and effective in communicating and reacting, are valuable ways of managing emotional and mental health issues and enhancing peace, trust, healing and growth. I work successfully with clients to develop these traits and states of being.

There are moments in everyone's life when things can begin to feel overwhelming. Deciding if therapy is right for you or a loved one is not always easy. I provide a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings so that together we can come up with the best treatment plan for you. With the right therapist I believe amazing growth can happen. My goal is to have you leave with enough tools and resources to use throughout all the difficult times in your life not just this one.
