I work with adults, including Russian-speaking immigrants from the former Soviet Union and other countries. I offer sessions in both English and Russian.

For more than twenty years, I've sat with people at the edge of what they thought their lives could be — helping them break free from anxiety, depression, trauma, and the relationships and transitions that keep them circling the same painful ground. What I've learned in all those years is this: you are not broken. You are, more often than not, simply disconnected — from your own knowing, from what matters, from the quiet intelligence that has been trying to reach you all along. My work weaves the science of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with the ancient wisdom of Vedanta and mindfulness — traditions that have mapped the human heart for millennia. Together, they offer more than symptom relief. They offer a homecoming. But there is a deeper current running beneath everything I do. My private practice includes shamanic work, animal communication, and soul-level intuitive channeling — ways of listening that reach beyond words, beyond technique, into the territory where real transformation lives. Clients often tell me they feel seen in a way they've never experienced: not just heard, but known. This is not therapy as maintenance. This is therapy as awakening. When you work with me, you get a guide who is fully present, deeply attuned, and grounded in something far older and larger than any single method — someone who trusts that your life is trying to become something, and knows how to help it get there. Ready to stop coping and start living? Let's talk.

Hi there!

I started my journey into psychotherapy back in 2005. Over the years, I have learned a great deal regarding how much our lives are impacted by how we see the world, and what we focus on. I have learned that focusing on the present moment, and enjoying each moment for what it offers can be priceless. I have learned, and now teach others how to live mindfully, not in the past or the future, but in the present moment, as when we leave the present moment is when our suffering begins. I have extensive experience in trauma, and overcoming traumas, as well as approaching the world from a cultural perspective. Based on experience, I have seen that we see the world through the sense of our cultural forefathers, and therefore, sometimes we need to adjust our interpretation of what we see and experience. I have been amazed at the tenacity and strength of the human spirit, and I cannot disregard the presence of an all knowing, encompassing presence of a higher being in our lives. It is for this reason that I encourage patients to look at the world from multiple points of view. Sometimes changing the lens with which we look at the world, can make all the difference in what we see and feel.

I love helping you untangle the past while making sure you leave with practical tools to tackle the present (and future!). If you’re looking to break old patterns, level up your relationships, and find real solutions to life’s challenges, we’ll work together to get you there—no boring, jargon-filled therapy here! Let’s make some progress and have a little fun along the way.

Welcome. My name is Tannaz Talasazan, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I invite you into a supportive, collaborative space where feelings are processed, thoughts are heard, perspectives are respected, and meaningful change becomes possible. Life can present challenges that feel overwhelming, especially when we don’t always have the tools to navigate them. Reaching out for therapy is a powerful first step.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides counseling to adults and couples using a trauma-informed approach. I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and I help clients process and heal from complex life experiences. I bring a unique depth of experience to my work, having served 25 years as a police officer and over 13 years supporting first responders through peer support programs. I am also a certified domestic violence counselor with experience working with both adults and children impacted by trauma, and a U.S. Army veteran with four years of active-duty service.

Reaching out for help can be a very vulnerable experience, but also a great attribute of strength and resilience. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma in their life. Whether it's from childhood neglect, sexual assault, natural disaster, sudden death or other life circumstances. Trauma often creates patterns and loops that extend into many areas of a person's life, and can be challenging and painful to navigate. Sometimes the way people survive their trauma brings them more pain, adds to the chaos, and reinforces negative beliefs that perpetuate the cycle. I work to empower clients to understand and alter unhealthy cycles to strengthen and better their lives. I am fluent in ASL American Sign Language and have worked with Deaf clients leaving domestic violence in both a shelter and outpatient therapy services. I have spent 2 years in correctional settings working with severely mentally ill patients and supporting their family members navigating having children with mental illness. I have also spent 2 years working with foster youth and foster parents in providing support to their placements, promoting healing and preserving relationships. Note that online scheduling is limited. Broader scheduling options will be available to regularly scheduling clients. Please also note that I do not provide opinions about disability or fitness to return to work or other activities for clients who are not well-established at the time that the request for such opinion is made.
