"Hello, I'm Azar Memarzade, a licensed psychotherapist with a Master's degree in Counseling from Mercer University. I'm passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families achieve their mental health goals and improve their relationships. In my practice, I offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and parenting psycho-education to children, adolescents, and adults. I also facilitate group therapy sessions, which provide a supportive community and diverse perspectives. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative, and I draw from evidence-based practices to tailor my services to each client's unique needs. I'm committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment where you can explore your concerns, develop new insights, and cultivate personal growth. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me to learn more about my services or schedule an appointment."
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
"In our initial session, you can expect a warm and welcoming conversation where we'll get to know each other and establish a comfortable therapeutic relationship. We'll start with some introductory questions and paperwork, and then I'll invite you to share your story, concerns, and goals. I'll actively listen, ask clarifying questions, and provide empathetic responses to ensure I understand your perspective. By the end of our first session, you can expect to feel heard, validated, and informed about the therapy process and how we can work together to achieve your desired outcomes. We'll also collaborate on setting a direction for our future sessions and establish a plan that suits your needs."
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
"My greatest strengths as a therapist include my empathetic and non-judgmental listening style, which creates a safe and supportive environment for clients to share their deepest concerns. I'm also skilled at tailoring my approach to each client's unique needs, incorporating evidence-based practices with warmth and creativity. Additionally, my ability to establish trust and rapport with clients of all ages, from children to adults, allows for a strong therapeutic bond to form, facilitating deeper growth and transformation. My patience, compassion, and sense of humor also help clients feel at ease, making the therapy process a collaborative and empowering experience."

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Adlerian
Adlerian therapy, also known as individual psychology, focuses on understanding the individual as a whole and emphasizes the importance of social context in shaping behavior. As a therapist using Adlerian therapy, I would work collaboratively with clients to explore their unique subjective experiences, gain insight into their personal beliefs and goals, and empower them to make positive changes in their lives. This approach often involves exploring early childhood experiences, identifying unhelpful beliefs or behavioral patterns, and promoting a sense of belonging and community. Overall, Adlerian therapy aims to help clients develop a greater sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the impact of early relationships and attachment patterns on an individual's current emotional and relational functioning. As a therapist using attachment-based therapy, I help clients explore their attachment history, understand their attachment style, and work to develop more secure and healthy attachment patterns. I would support clients in building trust, establishing boundaries, and developing more secure relationships with themselves and others. By fostering a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, I can help clients heal from past relational wounds and cultivate more fulfilling and satisfying connections in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. As a therapist using CBT, I work collaboratively with clients to help them recognize and challenge their negative beliefs and cognitive distortions. I teach clients coping strategies and skills to modify their thought patterns and behaviors, ultimately leading to improved emotional regulation and problem-solving abilities. By incorporating homework assignments, role-playing, and other behavioral techniques, I can help clients develop more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving to address their specific concerns and achieve their therapeutic goals.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on improving the parent-child relationship to support the child's emotional well-being and development. As a therapist using CPP, I work with both the child and their caregiver to address the impact of trauma or other challenges on their relationship. I help caregivers understand the child's behavior in the context of their experiences and support them in providing a secure and nurturing environment. Through play-based interventions, communication skills training, and emotional processing, I can help caregivers and children build stronger bonds, improve communication, and promote healing and growth within the family system.
