Dr. Sepida Sazgar
If you are on this page, you are probably dealing with challenges that are keeping you from feeling content, balanced and in control. Maybe you are faced with a difficult situation, an unexpected event in your life, or perhaps you have been struggling with anxiety and depression for years. I understand that starting therapy can be a daunting decision. It takes courage to take the first step and seek help. Together, we can identify what is keeping you from feeling confident, competent, and in charge of your life, and help you take steps toward being the best version of yourself.
First session
I help clients gain new perspectives on their difficulties, and tap into their inner resources and strengths to best manage life's challenges. Clients can expect to learn tools to manage stress and inner conflict, so that they are able to feel at peace and find joy in their lives.
Strengths
My approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and strength-based, with the aim of helping clients develop a better understanding of factors that lead to distress, and developing effective coping skills to overcome their challenges.
Ideal clients
I work with adults who are experiencing challenges related to recent or prolonged stressors. These may include life transitions, grief, trauma, medical and health issues, as well as relational and communication difficulties. I have extensive experience in treating anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, and bipolar disorders. l also work with clients who are grieving the loss of their companion animals.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using CBT, I help clients identify long-standing negative beliefs that have contributed to various difficulties, such as low self-worth, communication difficulties, feeling overwhelmed, depression and anxiety. Clients also learn how to evaluate these thoughts and the ways in which they negatively impact them, so that they can develop more objective and positive beliefs, as well as effective coping skills.
