Have you been struggling with an ongoing theme that interferes with your ability to establish or maintain healthy relationships? Are you overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety or deep sadness? Has a sudden event left you feeling hopeless and fearful? My belief is that people are genuinely good and resourceful. Through thoughtful questioning and exploration, I help you to identify the origins and meanings of the issues that have led you to seek therapy. Together, we find ways to access the tools, strengths, and resources needed to promote wellness in your life.

I love to help clients navigate uncertainty and instability. I specialize in sex therapy & anxiety. I work from a holistic and attachment -based approach on issues such as life transitions, grief & loss, sexual trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns (desire discrepancy) and sexual dysfunction. Due to my background working as a sexual assault advocate, my area of expertise is with clients who have experienced difficult or dysfunctional past sexual experiences and are looking to work toward integrating and reclaiming their sexual identities and pleasure in order to move toward healing and overall well- being.

I believe that the relationship that you have with your therapist is essential for change. Finding a good fit can be hard, but I'm here to help you through that process. We will work together to help you better understand yourself so you can see things more clearly and uncover opportunities to move through challenges, conflicts, trauma, and anxiety. Gaining insight into how the patterns from your past impact your daily experience is an important tool for meaningful change. Together, we will collaborate to identify and resolve challenges, and deepen awareness so you can move forward to your best self.

Whether you are coming to therapy to heal, grieve, recover or rediscover- it would be a privilege to journey with you this season. I hope to provide you with compassionate and caring support as we explore and process your story together. I have over 15 years of experience and have worked with a wide range of individuals from college students to older adults, creative professionals to family caregivers.

I provide depth therapy for adults navigating life challenges and relationships. I hold degrees from Northwestern and Cambridge and have clinical expertise in: ADHD, addiction, anxiety, chronic illness, depression, grief, marriage/dating, men's issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I have a special passion for working with LGBTQ folks and men. In our therapy, I stand right beside you exploring complex issues and growing your personal edges. You don't have to go it alone.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, women's issues, and teens. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a way to help clients heal from difficult life experiences. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a home for each person to be authentically who they are, without judgment. I provide support during the hard times, ask tough questions when necessary, and work with you to find practical solutions to your challenges. I am equally adept at comforting you in your tearful moments and providing some much needed laughter.

I believe everyone has unique stories that need to be heard. As I listen with curiosity and support, individuals freely explore their stories, become more open to delving into meanings, and further empowered to define their sense of self that needed to be received. In my work with clients, I integrate evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). As a registered art therapist, I am also aware and appreciative of non-verbal expression and the benefit of using this creative form of expression.

My specialty is building relationships and making clients feel safe in a space to share. I focus on 1:1 ,couples, families and groups. I am always looking to balance solution focused sessions with underlying clinical issues. Helping clients feel like they can get some relief early on in therapy is a priority. Anxiety, depression, addiction, family relation issues, life transitions and Covid are just some areas of work are that are my specialty. Whether you are comfortable free flow talking or need a more interview style, I am comfortable doing both. I also specialize in young adult and dual diagnosis.

Life can be HARD. Whether it's always been hard or there are more recent roadblocks, it f-cking sucks to feel out of control, unfulfilled, stuck, or unhappy. So let's talk about that. In our work together, we'll examine parts of your past, challenges in the present, and hopes for the future to create the life you want, while honoring your natural strengths and intersecting identities. Through both research-based techniques and being a real + approachable human, my goal is to help you find clarity and healing while creating meaningful and sustainable change.

As a therapist, I am rooted in a cognitive approach based on insight. However, I also incorporate a psychodynamic, humanistic-existential, and trauma-focused perspective in my work. My main goal is to help you get unstuck and achieve your potential for a fulfilling and meaningful life. I aim to make our sessions inclusive and focused, while also bringing in some humor and lightness to enhance our therapeutic journey.

Do you seek relief from anxiety, low self worth, negative self-talk? Are you creative, highly sensitive, or feel like a "black sheep"? I can relate in both my being-human and therapy journeys... As a holistic therapist, I use brain science w/ tried and true coping tools plus somatic, Jungian, Parts Work, and expressive arts therapies. I believe we all have innate gifts + strengths that we "remember" and reactivate through meaningful connections that also birth self-trust. Together, we'll heal anxiety/stress, trauma, identity + relationship issues by exploring your stories, automatic beliefs, and emotions your brain/mind/body hold.

I've worked with adults who have ADHD for 15 years, and I've been one for my entire life. I believe that ADHD is a superpower, and that neurodivergent adults are some of the most creative, interesting, empathic, and thoughtful people in the world. But navigating our society with a brain that isn't built for it can be fraught, and can lead to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. I help clients to untangle this web, and build a life that works with their brain, rather than trying to squish their fabulous brains into a pre-established box.

I'm a mindfulness-based psychotherapist specializing in treating teens (14 and up) and adults struggling with anxiety disorders, trauma, anger management, and pervasive emotion dysregulation, as well as failure-to-launch, complex grief, and couples who are suffering from infertility and the complex opportunities and challenges of international adoption. Engaging in therapy is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves and those we care about. By exploring the layers of the self with the guidance and partnership of a therapist, our vulnerabilities and potential can be a source of deep healing and meaning.

Are you in search of a therapist who takes a holistic, person-centered, open-minded approach to mental health? Someone who is passionate about serving individuals from all walks of life, especially those within the Latinx community.. and maybe even a therapist who is fluent in Spanish? Whatever your struggles may be, I am dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where you can explore and heal. I believe in treating individuals as unique, whole beings, considering not only mental and emotional aspects but also our physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Do you experience painful sex, anxiety, struggle with starting or keeping an erection, and ejaculating sooner than you want? Perhaps you have a partner and you are anxious about how to communicate your true feelings or concerns about sex and intimacy. Being authentically you and communicating how you feel can be a real struggle. If this resonates with you, then know that you are not alone. Also, know that your fears are valid; it can feel painful to be rejected, not heard, not seen, and not fulfilled. These struggles are not a reflection of you as a person. They are a sign that there is an area that needs attention and support.

Hello and thanks for visiting!

I am passionate about self-discovery, empowerment and achieving one’s full potential and offer a direct and compassionate form of therapy. My goal for you in therapy is to be engaged in a collaborative process, one which promotes healing and growth.

My name is Mastaneh (Masti) Lashkari, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 136681. I have always been passionate about psychology, philosophy, art, and creativity. I aim to illuminate this profoundly beautiful yet miserable growth process as a therapist. To help you become more conscious, self-actualized, hopeful, and mature. Before psychotherapy, I achieved two decades of successful marketing and sales experience in Business Banking and Pharmaceutical Sales. In other words, I have been practicing and developing a multi-faced wide range of experiences in various forms of psychology for over 20 years.

Welcome to a safe and supportive space where you’re encouraged to tap into your creativity, playfulness, and self-expression! I’m a forward-thinking therapist who works with adults, children/teens, couples (poly/open/committed), and families eager to make changes. If you’re on a journey of identity and self-exploration, battle addiction or codependency, have difficulties navigating and establishing boundaries, and/or suffer with anxiety, depression or childhood/family trauma, you’re not alone. You can move beyond feeling stuck or hurt. You can break harmful patterns and build healthy, sustainable relationships.

The goal of therapy is to develop an awareness of our emotional patterns and recognize where they are not serving us. Many of us are operating within a problem saturated narrative that needs to be rewritten. It is my experience that the problems don’t occur in a bubble. I believe that issues are systemic, therefore I will often incorporate partners or members of the Family in the healing and growth process. I find my training in mediation practices further equip me to deal effectively with dysfunction family communication patterns.
