Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in 22066

Living with anxiety/OCD/ADHD, feeling as if living "between two worlds" by virtue of all of your intersecting identities, and feeling confused about why your past haunts you (and why your most important relationships are suffering) can culminate in helplessness and despair. By creating a non-judgmental, open, and relational space for both reflection and exploration, I can meet you as you are and help you forge and narrate a path that fits. I help you better understand why you experience yourself and the world as you do and identify how you can be more present and move forward with tools, skills, and greater agency in your life.

Are you struggling in your relationships? With meeting your daily obligations? Overwhelmed by life circumstances? Therapy can provide relief in a multitude of ways: developing healthier, more fulfilling relationships; alleviating and coping with the stresses of daily living; and understanding one's behavior and thought patterns in order to make productive choices and reach one's full potential in relationships, at home, and in the workplace. When one becomes overwhelmed by the relationships and responsibilities of their daily life - to include marriage, family, work, and school - therapy can get life back on track. Finding a therapist whom one trusts is an essential part of therapy.

My particular strengths are dealing with adults with depression, anxiety, panic or fears and relationship issues. I have specialized training and expertise in working with couples (married, dating and divorcing) who are experiencing difficulties and/or dissatisfaction in their relationships. With more than 30 years as a therapist, I bring a depth of experience to help you deal with the conflicts of everyday life. Reaching out to receive help from a therapist is often a very difficult but very important first step. Sometimes, you experience problems that you do not feel you can handle alone. Therapy can help with these issues.

In each of us there is a drive to move towards wholeness. Sometimes we require assistance to unblock that which slows our movement towards balance. Engaging in therapy is a sign of resilience in the face of personal struggles. Courage is walking through your fears to make a difference. By engaging in a strong and empathetic relationship, we will work to uncover the motivations and thoughts that are preventing you from living your life to the fullest. I educate my clients to utilize innovative strategies that capture the extraordinary power that comes from within to facilitate the changes you seek.

You are dissatisfied with your life. Every day is busy. Sleep is hard to come by. You feel edgy and anxious. Relationships aren't what you expected - poor communication, little or no sex... you and your partner are fighting or just not talking. You might have considered an affair (or are already having one, but that isn't really working either). You've thought about talking to someone, but that takes time that you don't really have, and talking to someone you don't know is uncomfortable.

I, Hossein (Miki) Bakhtar, have been a counselor in the field of Psychology for over 25 years, working with individuals and couples to help them exchange intensity and drama or isolation and loneliness for intimacy, respect, appreciation and love. "My job is to get you well enough so that you don't need me anymore." Whether it be for a mental health issue, or relationship or other treatment, the philosophical vision of the right intervention program is critical in determining the right place for you or a family member to heal.
