As a relational integrative therapist, I tailor evidence-based psychological interventions from various schools of thought to provide the most supportive approach for your specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>My specialties include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, phobias, cultural and identity-related concerns, and personal development. To address these areas, I integrate Psychodynamic, Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Talking Therapy approaches, among others. This blend helps create a confidential, safe, and accepting space where you can explore your emotions and challenges.<\/p>\n<p>I offer therapy in both English and Persian, providing the option to commence sessions in your native language for greater comfort and understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\">\n<div class=\"items-center
