She brings over 10 years of experience in mental health and works with adults and older adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and other mental health issues such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia Disorder, and other psychotic disorders. Bahareh has focused her studies on the accumulation of trauma during our lifespan. She has witnessed and believes that our inner power and resilience to heal and adapt help us achieve our goals and live a more meaningful life. She would like to provide her clients with the opportunity to heal and move forward to gain a more positive outlook.

Therapy provides an opportunity to explore thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships with which you may have difficulties. Most of your thoughts and behaviors are processed in your unconscious mind, which is why you may find yourself trapped in certain patterns despite being aware of the need for change.

Bahareh will assist you in understanding and identifying those triggers and stressors and help you process the emotions concerning your past. She will help you by teaching coping strategies, finding ways to strengthen relationships, identifying solutions to specific problems, and teaching stress management techniques. Her therapeutic approaches include Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
