Terry Akhtarzad, LMFT

Terry Akhtarzad, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist
CA
I provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can gain better insight and feel better. Psychotherapy is an effective way to explore and work through a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. My modality is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), which focuses on improving your thoughts and behaviors that affect the way you feel. My approach is solution-focused so you can get the help you need and move forward with your life. All counseling sessions are tailored to your unique needs, so you'll receive personalized, compassionate care. In working with couples, I emphasize solution-focused therapy. I use role play to pinpoint the patterns of the couple's arguments and guide you to adopt a positive style of communication. This allows you as a couple to move past resentments and hurt, rediscovering intimacy, connection, and happiness. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University Professional School of Psychology, which informs my compassionate and effective approach to therapy.
