Hello, my name is Laleh. Have you ever felt that starting the therapy process is frightening but needed? Have you been experiencing anxiety and depression for so long that it seems like the norm? Does the idea of sharing past traumas and working towards healing seem impossible? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage it all. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. Participating in therapy provides a safe space to address these issues and start experiencing more joy in life.
My primary focus is on building trust and safety while helping you connect with your own capacity for growth and healing. I utilize CBT, EMDR, Somatic Work, Play Therapy techniques, Psychoeducation, Mindfulness Techniques, and more to guide you towards calming your nervous system, reframing thoughts, and reclaiming your sense of self.
My goal is to help you better understand trauma experiences, reduce distress, and restore your sense of empowerment and stability. I believe healing happens when we feel safe and seen. Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and focused on creating meaningful change. Reach out today to get started!
