(she/her)
My name is Mitra Yavari I am from Iran I speak Farsi and English. I have been happily married for 40 years and have a son and a daughter . I enjoy working with kids and adolescent . I also do marriage/couple therapy. I have been a therapist for 14 years and love my job ! I used to teach anger management and domestic violence classes for 4 years. I also enjoy multicultural counseling and have worked with many people from different cultures. I am a Neurofeedback therapist and test for ADHD too.
In the first session I would like to get to know them by asking informal questions. Then I ask them about their expectations of therapy and if they had therapy before and how that worked for them! I use active listening positive feedback. I also let them ask me questions for bonding! I will listen to their problems and concerns very carefully and will come up with the best method of treatment for them!
I am a very happy, hopeful and positive person in general. I do not get angry or upset easily! I use my life experiences in the sessions. I introduce simple and easy to understand methods of treatment to my clients. I am very open and honest with my clients and truly care for them. I am an easy going therapist who do not judge or stereotype people!
I would like to work with clients who are honest and open about their feelings, wants and likes. Clients who believe in therapy and themselves and want to improve their lives . Clients who can come up with short term and long term goals. Clients who can focus on present and also hopeful about future. Clients who trust me and my advice/suggestions, and the choices of treatment I have for them!
I identify as
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I first evaluate the problem then concentrate on few steps towards the treatment! Focus on acceptance and mindfulness. Focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I focus on cognition, feelings, and behaviors. In order to change behaviors you have to change the way you think about things. I help clients change their mentality in order to change their behaviors and Improve their lives. I also help them substitute their negative thoughts with positive ones.
Neurofeedback
I have been using Neurofeedback treatment for many mental disorders such anxiety, depression, ADHD and PTSD . Client will be hooked with electrodes on their head and forehead and will give frequencies and feedback to the brain. It is a brain activation procedure.
