Bahareh Saidian
I’m passionate about connecting with diverse people and communities. I offer a holistic, trauma-informed approach that honors the connection between mind and body. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work collaboratively with each client to understand the root of their distress and gently support healing from the inside out.

Understanding why we are stuck in conditioned patterns and behaviors, unlocks the road map and the tools to navigate life’s battles. There is a path out of survival mode and you can thrive.
First session
The first session is an invitation to slow down and be heard. An opportunity for you to share your story, current challenges, and what led you to seek support. This is also your chance to ask questions and get a feel for my approach. You can expect me to show up authentically — as a therapist and as a human being. I will meet you with empathy, honesty, and respect — creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.
Strengths
My approach is guided by unconditional compassion, understanding, acceptance, collaboration, and support. My own experiences have deeply informed my therapeutic approach. Growth often requires us to face the parts of ourselves we’d rather avoid—our fears, regrets, or past wounds. It is in holding both truths, fear and courage together, that true transformation takes root.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I have used mindfulness techniques for over 20 years, particularly for nervous system regulation and as an additional coping method when preparing for trauma work.
