I'm Mojdeh Motamedi and I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I'm proud of you for taking the step to start therapy as it is not easy to start.

I find that being open to change, transparent about thoughts and feelings, and accountable for actions supports an allied approach best. When these factors are in place, I have found success in addressing anxiety, depression, and emotion dysregulation with clients.
