Attunement is the foundation of any relationship.
Welcome to my page, and thank you for allowing me a few minutes of your time to introduce myself and my work! My name is Bar Zafrany, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Throughout the years I have worked with a variety of individuals, ranging from substance abuse to Anxiety. No matter what background you come from, choosing to prioritize your mental health can be difficult, because so often we worry about sharing our inner dialogue with someone who is a total stranger. My goal is to change that. I use a collaborative approach to highlight your experiences and help navigate you through challenging situations!

A solid therapeutic relationship is key.
Thank you for visiting. It means a lot that you’re here. It suggests you’re sensing something in your life isn’t the way you’d like it to be, and that you’ve decided it’s time for change. A professor of mine once said, “All therapy boils down to one issue–I’m stuck.” Sometimes getting going can be the hardest part. You’ve already taken an important first step. If we want things to be different, we must do things differently. You don’t have to stay stuck. I know sometimes life can feel overwhelming. I want to help you discover new perspectives, new possibilities, new ways of approaching challenges and relating to others and yourself.

It's the end of a long day and instead of feeling satisfied, happy and ready to relax, you feel a sense of anxiety and possibly even dread just thinking about the next day.

You know you're capable of peace and happiness, but lately, you're even wondering if that's even true. Whatever is holding you back- ADHD, a strained relationship, a worthiness wound, self-doubt, lack of confidence, or a thorny conflict at work- you're ready NOW for the support and guidance to fix it once and for all.

My goal is to build a therapeutic relationship that will allow for vulnerability, authenticity, and collaboration.
The challenges that we inevitably face in our lives, while frustrating and overwhelming, provide us with opportunities to gain insight into patterns that at one time helped us and are now contributing to our distress. I believe that these patterns not only impact the decisions we make in various avenues of life, but our perspective of the things that are happening to us and around us. Growth starts from developing a deeper awareness of these patterns.

I understand how daunting it can feel to begin a new relationship and share your vulnerability with a professional.
Our past and present challenges can lead to painful feelings, distorted thought processes, unhealthy behaviors and paralysis around decision making. In the therapeutic relationship we create a safe space for you to clarify confusion, find meaning and develop the tools and skills needed to address your distress. Some of my clinical specialties are in the following areas: Anxiety, Depression, Chronic illness, Grief and Adjustment Disorders. Several of the evidence based therapeutic modalities I utilize are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness based practices.

There's no instruction manual for life. Relationship problems, career questions and mental health issues can make us feel confused about our own identity, where we fit in and how to move forward. I specialize in helping adults and couples navigate difficult feelings, identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and become "un-stuck" in order to enjoy a more peaceful mind and a happier life. My approach is open, casual, and collaborative, and I strive to maintain a space that is judgment-free, and where clients feel fully accepted, truly seen and supported. I'm LGBTQIA+-friendly, sex/kink-positive and culturally-sensitive.

With over 28 years of experience as a clinician, my areas of expertise include individual and couples counseling focusing on issues of personal growth and development, relationship issues, stage-of-life transitions, stress reduction, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBT issues, and Jungian Analysis and dream interpretation.
Need support as you make changes in your life and move towards your true goals? I help individuals and couples develop effective solutions for resolving lingering problems and overcoming challenges that keep you from moving forward towards the goals that you value and desire. Deep down, we generally know what it is we need. I pay close attention, and reflect your own inner wisdom back to you in a way that is practical and often liberating. The way becomes more clear as you decide to simply, and more truly, become yourself. A warm, compassionate therapeutic relationship can help you in finding the direction you are seeking.

Psychotherapy is an investment in yourself, and it can provide you with the opportunity to gain clarity, perspective, and clinical guidance to overcome various challenges of daily life. In my practice, I emphasize on insight, self-awareness, and empowerment to promote growth and positive change. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can openly share your fears, along with your deepest thoughts and feelings. Through an alliance of trust and collaboration, we will work together to understand the meanings of symptoms, to get "un-stuck," and to rediscover your capacity to make the choices that are right for you

If you are reading this, I can only assume that you have been thinking about starting therapy for a while, but keep putting it off. The hardest part is making that first phone call. It requires us to acknowledge that our life is not where we wanted it to be.

Many of my clients work in the fields of film, theater, opera, music, literature and visual arts. In addition, I worked with English speaking clients in Frankfurt, Germany for 6 years. In Frankfurt, my clients came from every continent except Antarctica. I gained a deep understanding of the challenges faced by expats and immigrants, as well as broad experience working with cross-cultural couples.
