Dr. Kaivani works with adults, and her areas of interest include: Anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, trauma, difficult life transitions, acculturation/adjustment to immigration, creativity blocks, and issues of meaning and personal identity, especially around gender and sexuality. She believes in a therapeutic pluralism in which individually tailored treatments are drawn from several different therapy approaches. She primarily utilizes psychodynamic and existential perspectives with a trauma-informed and relational framework. Dr. Kaivani immigrated from Iran in 2010 and provides therapy in Farsi in addition to English.
“People have an inherent pull toward growth. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable space to facilitate your growth and fulfillment. Within a therapeutic relationship based on collaboration, compassion, engagement, and openness, I support you along your journey toward healing and self-awareness."
Prior to joining Kendall Psychological Associates, Dr. Kaivani was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University. She received her doctorate from William James College and completed her APA-accredited internship at the Brenner Center for Psychological Assessment & Consultation.
