I am particularly zealous about social injustice issues and working with the marginalized population. I am passionate about working with and helping people who are facing: depression, anxiety, traumatic events, racism, relationship conflicts, childhood problems, self-esteem issues, communication problems, and acculturation. I am concerned with the impact of anxiety and depression and improving intervention to support daily functioning and living with anxiety and depression for better emotional, physical, and relationship health.

Life is often complex and confusing, and the pain of trauma is intense. Trauma can be one event that scares you and makes you feel helpless, or a chain of them that teach your body that the world is not to be trusted. Anxiety is a daily reality and moving through life is like moving through a room full of carnival mirrors and moving mazes. Worry for the future keeps us awake at night. The past intrudes in our present, drives our behavior in ways we cannot explain, and leaves us questioning our own motivation and even our sanity. Thoughts can become so loud in our heads that rest is not possible.

For Couples: Do you feel more & more distant from your partner each time you continue to argue about the same old things without any change? In our sessions, you can expect to defuse the conflicts as we begin to understand what drives them. I specialize in providing therapy for individuals & couples who wish to make positive & lasting changes in their lives and relationships, grow & develop, for themselves & those they love. As a psychotherapist, the most important thing I can offer you is a safe, compassionate & supportive space that allows each person to feel heard & validated.

Deciding to seek counseling services is, often times, a personal and difficult decision. Finding the right therapist is a daunting task. Once you take the first step and found the proper support, you are on the path of self-discovery and healing. It is the first step towards "figuring it out" or "making a change". When you find yourself feeling stuck or struggling, reaching out is positive and empowering. Looking forward to helping you thrive all the while providing guidance and support on your journey towards achieving your goals.

Anyone who has ever experienced trauma cannot overlook the excruciating pain and fear it instills in the body and mind. Such pain, if left unattended may morph into depression, anxiety, chronic physical pain, and profound sense of loss and continuous grief. It can mask our identity and destroy our lifestyle. We turn out to be disoriented, stuck, and confined. Our lives become foreign to us. We find ourselves witnessing its broadcast, as opposed to fully experiencing it in the moment. Hence, we turn to our defenses in the form of compensatory behaviors, such as addiction and compulsions or lose the meaning of life.

I enjoy working with clients who desire to make a change when their life circumstances are not favorable. I support clients as they work through transitions to help them achieve practical solutions as well as feelings of peace and hope for the future. As a therapist, it is my job to provide clients with the space to process their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. A client’s best interest is always at the forefront of my mind. I offer helpful interventions and provide resources that will contribute to the well-being and successor each of my clients.

I have 20+ years experience assisting clients to overcome issues related to Anxiety, Mid-Life Crisis, Burnout, Anger, Depression, Addictive/Compulsive Behavior. My clients say they appreciate my "genuine, therapuetic connection", my "warm, grounded, interactive therapy sessions"; my "solid multi-cultural competency". I am not the kind of therapist that sits and nods. I actively work with you to explore what is hapening and identify the best possible solutions. Finding the right therapist is tricky. This is why I am happy to talk with you on the phone before we decide to work together.

Often life presents us with challenges we try to overcome. Sometimes we are successful and sometimes we need a helping hand; we need someone to listen to us. This interpersonal contact cannot be found at a bookstore in a self-help book, but with a professional and confidential advocate. I work with individuals, couples and families as well as with children of any age. I have training in domestic violence, sexual assault, and grief group therapy. I offer brief or ongoing therapy.

A few years ago I read a joke: "Fish don't know they're in the water". The scenario is that Fish Number One asks Fish Number Two, "How's the water?" Fish Number Two responds, "What the hell is water?". The fish who is "in" the situation (hence the water) does not even realize its surrounding. Second what surrounds you is only normal because it's what you know. I got another one that I recently came across: "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." This references to dream analysis but it basically mean that our preconceptions can dramatically alter the way we perceive the world. (Quote is by writer Anais Nin).

Because of my specific cross-cultural background, my training as a spiritual counselor and my professional familiarity with the academic environment, my primary expertise is three folded: (1) helping educated individuals to reach their full potential, (2) guiding adults dealing with faith crises, and (3) facilitating cross-cultural couples'/family's acculturation journey.

My passion is to create safe spaces for clients to feel comfortable sharing their stories while helping them navigate through the difficulties of life, relationships, and parenting. My aim is to help foster new possibilities in the areas of difficulty while also helping clients develop their greater potential. I believe that many difficulties can be resolved through 1. Fostering greater self-awareness, 2. Pursuing healing for deep rooted experiences and 3. Developing skills for healthy relating. Whatever brings someone to therapy, I believe that we all benefit from the journey of understanding our thoughts, feelings, and action.

No matter how far you are on your journey, it's likely that there will always be something that's not perfect or the way you want it to be. Maybe you’ve always been a high achiever, but recently the anxiety and chronic toxic (work) stress is way too overwhelming. Perhaps your childhood was difficult and you feel like you’re not good enough or you had a caregiver who was traumatized and/or traumatizing. You may be overworking, panicking, or irritable. All this is negatively impacting your overall well-being, your body, and probably your relationships too. You are ready to begin healing your brain and body and experience some relief.

Are you feeling unfulfilled in work, or relationships? Do you have trouble sleeping, focusing or completing tasks? I'm here to tell you, you're not alone. My name is Dr. Regine Muradian, and I'm here to help.

I believe that the most effective and lasting changes take place with a strong and supportive client-therapist relationship. I strive to create a comfortable and safe space where my clients can look inward and find their greatest strengths in order to overcome underlying causes and unhealthy patterns that have potentially held them back in the past. Although treatment is not one size fits all, empathy and acceptance are key elements in allowing you to start making positive changes. My goal is to help you take the steps necessary to have the life that you want.
