LMFT, 14 years of experience
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a degree from Phillips Graduate Institute in California. I have extensive clinical experience working with children (using play therapy), individuals, families, couples, and groups. My therapeutic approach focuses on identifying and addressing underlying issues, empowering clients to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create lasting positive change. I am bilingual in English and Farsi, which allows me to support a diverse range of clients with cultural sensitivity and understanding.
In our first therapy session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you can speak openly and feel heard. The main focus of this initial meeting is to build a strong therapeutic relationship and gain a clear understanding of your needs, concerns, and goals. This session is also an opportunity for us to get to know each other, establish trust, and lay the foundation for our work together. Your comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m committed to collaborating with you every step of the way to support meaningful growth and positive change.
I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing on a strong clinical foundation and years of experience. I have specialized training in the treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, domestic violence, and trauma. What stands out in my work is my ability to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel truly heard and understood. I integrate evidence-based techniques with genuine empathy, helping clients gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
I work best with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to explore their challenges and make meaningful changes in their lives. My ideal clients may be navigating issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma, or life transitions. They may be seeking greater self-awareness, healthier communication, stronger relationships, or emotional healing. I am committed to providing personalized and holistic care, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs, goals, and cultural background. My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic, and nonjudgmental, creating a safe and empowering space where clients can explore their concerns, build effective skills, and work toward lasting growth and positive change.
As a therapist, I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients address and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying negative thought patterns and replacing them with healthier, more constructive perspectives. In my practice, I use CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and exposure therapy to help clients cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. I also incorporate homework assignments, journaling, and mindfulness exercises to reinforce therapy sessions.

Parvin is a great lady to talk to. She hears me out, asks questions that seem to hit home, and offers solutions to help me break out of my old habits. I like that speaks directly and doesn't pedal around the truth.

I was searching for someone who appeared inviting along with a preferred minimum of experience as well as around my age. Ms. Jahanpanah fit my criteria and has thus far exceeded it. I appreciate her warmth, her upfront description of her therapy and look forward to continuing working together.

After looking through dozens of providers we chose Parvin for marriage counseling. Five stars is not a high enough rating for Parvin, she deserves 10! She is warm and calm, she focuses on positivity and solutions. When we started therapy with her, I thought it was a waste of time because I was never going to be at peace with my situation, and after about 3 months my whole perspective changed. Parvin is helping us repair our broken marriage, she has been detrimental to our progress and success.
