Hello and welcome. I’m Helma Jafari, a licensed psychotherapist with a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach to care. I am deeply committed to supporting individuals in reconnecting with themselves, healing, and growing in meaningful ways. My work is grounded in compassion and curiosity. I integrate psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and evidence-based approaches to help you better understand yourself, process past experiences, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships within yourself and in your connection with the world around you.

I have experience working with diverse populations and aim to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood. In our work together, we create space to better understand your experiences and connect with your inner wisdom and strength. I invite you to imagine a life beyond fear, where there is space for healing and connection, and where you can become the author of your own story.

Life Transitions
Are you a woman or man in your 30s or 40s feeling overwhelmed by work, parenting, or life changes? I am a psychotherapist who helps women navigate midlife transitions, manage anxiety, and reclaim confidence and balance. Having personally experienced the challenges of motherhood, demanding career, and divorce, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to our work together. I integrate EMDR to process past experiences and reduce emotional distress, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to guide you toward a meaningful life, and values-based strategies to clarify what truly matters to you. I also use the Enneagram as a tool for self-awareness and understanding relational patterns. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies for stress management, self-discovery, and creating the life you truly want—whether that means thriving in your career, strengthening relationships, or finding more peace in your everyday life.

Is this the first time you thinking about having therapy? Let's talk about what therapy is and is not. Tell me your expectations. Therapy is in part, talking about how you are feeling whether you have depression, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed by your work, family or relationships or by all three . But that is just the beginning. My name is Judith Copeland, I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I want to help you achieve the positive changes would you like to see in your life. Do you feel you cannot cope, have no self-esteem or don’t even know what will make you happy? Together we will uncover your strengths and you will learn the skills you need to better manage your emotions. I use several treatment methods including, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Integrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor your care to your specific needs. We will explore what is holding you back from achieving your goals and help you heal from past traumas. You will learn how your negative beliefs influence your mood and get in the way of your happiness. Often, we forget that everything is connected. Mind, Body, and Spirit. We need to take care of ourselves physically, psychologically, and spiritually. We often don’t really understand how deeply connected they are to our well-being. I will help you learn that self-care is just as important and or even more important as everything else you do. We have within ourselves the ability to create the life we want and become the person we want to be. I would like to support you on this journey and look forward to meeting you.

I have a twenty-eight year background in community mental health. In that time I have worked with people from many different cultures, with wide array of psychosocial stressors and mental health challenges. Over the past eighteen years I have developed unique programing that has brought people together and looked at stories that may otherwise go untold. I have created a twenty-hour training that I offer annually online that helps teach providers how to work witih hard to reach people. I have run a part-time private practice over the last six years and use trauma modalities like IFS and EMDR and other theories or movements that I have learned over time that further accentuate my work.
