Maia Jamadi
Psychologist, PhD

Navigating life can be a challenge. As a psychologist, I help you identify: (1) problem areas and patterns that are causing distress, (2) the source(s) of these issues, and (3) ways to enact change. Depending upon your individual characteristics, life experiences, history, and cultural background, difficulties can present themselves in numerous ways and color how we experience ourselves, our environment, and our relationships. Furthermore, external circumstances, often beyond our control, can cause or contribute to our struggles and it is important that we have appropriate and effective coping strategies to manage these.

Taking the first steps towards healing our inner wounds is a journey that does not have to be made alone. Therapy is a space for your to be seen, heard, and foster a sense of security. With a client centered approach, I am here to walk side by side you, with a goal of making you feel empowered to make the positive changes you want to make for your life. By navigating our past experiences, we uncover patterns, messages, and beliefs we internalize that holds us back in our present moments.

Navigating life in this generation is challenging for most people. Social media, societal views, pressure from family and friends; all things that have the possibility to break down our self-esteem and cause us to disconnect with our authentic self. My goal as a therapist is to assist my clients with identifying their perceived flaws and reframing their thoughts to recognize that these “flaws” can actually allow us to embrace all of our biggest strengths, and increase self-esteem. I support clients with re-connecting with their authentic self so that they can feel better in their skin.

YOU’RE TIRED OF RELIVING THE PAST -You find yourself rehashing it over and over and over again, and all you want is for it to stop. Out of the blue, you are paralyzed with feelings of fear, vulnerability and panic from everyday situations. You’re far too familiar with being on high-alert, and never letting your guard down. You feel anxious, and held captive to past trauma, that you just can't seem to let go. It’s hard to sleep and the nightmares don’t stop. You can’t talk about it because no one understands. You don’t recognize yourself anymore. You wonder what’s wrong with you.

Here you are again! You’re disconnected from your dreams and not living the life you imagined you would. Somewhere along the way, you lost yourself and now everything’s falling apart. You have some ideas why this is happening, and you’ve made several attempts to get yourself back on track. Nothing makes you feel any better about yourself. None of the changes you make seem to stick. You’re not sure how to navigate all the obstacles in your way. At the end of the day, you’re still overwhelmed and stuck with a life and relationships that leave you unfulfilled. Things keep getting worse despite your best efforts.

Psychologist, PhD, MS

I have been in private practice for the last 15 years. I work with individuals. Most of my clients are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or all three. Typically they are making their way through a major upheaval in their lives, such as divorce, tragic loss, job stress, severe communication problems, and strained family relationships. They're often depressed, angry, confused, or anxious. My work with couples and families is for the most part communication therapy. I never stop being amazed when clients explain to me that for the first time they're feeling heard, really heard, by their partners, children, or parents.
