Ms. Paknejad has been practicing in the Washington, D.C. area for well over a decade, focusing on supportive services that integrate cultural sensitivity, and physical, and psychological support. Ms. Paknejad has extensive experience working with domestic and international families living and working in the DC/MD/VA area, including addressing changes in mood and overall functioning and focusing on issues and stresses around assimilation and acculturation due to changes in one's personal and professional settings. Through the use of solution focused techniques, Ms. Paknejad's clients are able to achieve measurable improvements.
Additionally, Ms. Paknejad works to help individuals who have suffered traumatic experiences through the use of trauma informed practices that can help in alleviating symptoms of such traumas. Counseling is available in Farsi and Portuguese, as well as French on a conversational level.
Having worked and lived around the world, Ms. Paknejad is sensitive to personal values and cultural norms that influence how we all function. She is able to integrate those dynamics into her work with her clients. A free 15 minute consultation is available.
