Ali Afrasiabi, MA, LMHC

ABOUT

I come to this work as someone who has been profoundly and positively affected by the power of therapy, and know firsthand how much courage it takes to seek support. I put great emphasis on creating an organic space that will allow you to feel comfortable to begin this fruitful process of self-exploration. I view therapy as a collaborative process and want to honor your unique identity by understanding you within the context of your life. We will address your presenting concerns, while seeking to understand them within the greater framework of your personal history and development. I gravitate towards working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief, as well as clients seeking guidance with life transitions and self-actualization.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and rooted in humanistic psychology. I view health as a dynamic interplay between mind and body and will utilize mindfulness and somatic practices in our sessions, a perspective enriched by my undergraduate studies in biology. This holistic approach underscores the importance of self-care, a vital element that I will emphasize throughout our time together.

Psychotherapy works because it creates changes in brain function, so we will literally be rewiring your brain to achieve your desired outcome. I believe in providing as much psychoeducation as possible in session, and also like to assign homework and give other applicable recommendations.

I look forward to meeting you.
