About Ghazaleh Ayala Rafalian

Specializing in Personal Growth and Relational Therapy

I specialize in working with preteens, teens, young adults, individual adults, and couples. Many of the feelings, wishes, and concerns that drive our behavior and thinking are deeply rooted in the recesses of our psyche. Changing long-standing patterns, even when we understand the benefits of such change, can be challenging. As a therapist, my role is to help explore the origins and functions of these rigid internal mechanisms that inhibit personal growth.

My Approach: Together, we will uncover past experiences and hidden motivations, trace their impact on your present, and explore ways to move beyond these limitations. I use a psychodynamic approach to talk therapy, which allows for an in-depth discussion of thoughts, memories, feelings, dreams, and associations. This approach facilitates a deeper understanding of your internal world and supports meaningful change.

Specialties:

• Trauma
• Depression and Anxiety
• Interpersonal Relationships
• Anger Management
• Exploring Emotions and Identity
• Self-Growth in Teens and Young Adults

Cultural Sensitivity: I am fluent in Farsi and possess a deep understanding of Persian culture. This cultural competence enables me to provide more nuanced and sensitive care to clients from diverse backgrounds.

Mission: My mission is to create an empathic and supportive space where you can speak freely about your experiences, examine issues of identity, and explore relational possibilities. I aim to provide a safe environment conducive to personal growth and healing.
