Hello and welcome! Making the decision to enter therapy and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. My goal as a therapist is to create a strong partnership, where you can feel completely comfortable to "let go" and work towards a happier and healthier future. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or just the heaviness of everyday life, I will adjust my therapeutic approach to meet your needs. While I will always be in your corner, I will also challenge you and push you to identify patterns and barriers that stand in your way of personal growth. I aim to provide practical solutions, insight, and coping strategies while working at a pace that feels safe and comfortable to you. Apart from being a therapist, I am a mother of three little kids and one fur-baby (a pitbull named Rue). I truly love the work that I do and I look forward to supporting you towards positive change. If you think we would be a good fit for each other, give me a call and let’s get started!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we will get to know each other and I will ask you about your goals and intentions for therapy.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I utilize a strength-based approach and adjust my treatment methods based on individual needs. I enjoy using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strength is being able to connect with individuals from all walks of life. I especially like working with ages 16-40.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I really enjoy working with adolescents and young adults, specifically ages 16-40 (although I am open to anyone 16 and older).

Dr. Parvizad, Is very connected and thoughtful, never judged and felt safe. She understood me early in a few sessions. Would highly recommend to others.
