Getting to know Ani Kirakosyan
Hello, my name is Ani Kirakosyan. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT100264) with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix. In my practice, I take a collaborative and individualized approach to therapy. I believe each person's experience is unique and requires tailored interventions to help them reach their goals. I draw on several evidence-based strategies to create effective treatment plans, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy.
I have been drawn to therapy since I was young. As a child, strong relationships with family and friends gave me an appreciation for the benefits of interpersonal connections. These experiences inspired me to help others through their struggles and grow into their potential. My passion for psychology and mental health has only deepened over time. Therapy is a powerful and rewarding experience that encourages me to remain open-minded, patient, and empathetic to help clients reach their goals. It is fulfilling to witness positive changes when individuals receive the right resources and guidance. My role as a therapist is to provide guidance, support, and hope during challenging times, which drives me to continue learning and growing in this field.
My style is warm and empathetic, yet direct and honest. I strive to create an atmosphere where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment or shame. I value building a strong therapeutic alliance to work together toward the most beneficial outcomes. Overall, I work hard to ensure each client feels supported and respected.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When clients connect for their first session, I always like to take some time to get to know them. We'll discuss their current situation and the goals they would like to work on. This helps me gain a better understanding of what kind of help they are looking for and how we can best tailor our services to meet their needs. I may also ask clients about their past experience with therapy and what has been helpful for them before. This helps me tailor the techniques I use based on their individual needs and preferences. We will discuss any concerns or hesitations they have, as well as confidentiality and my role as a therapist. I always like to make sure that clients feel comfortable in our sessions and that I am able to provide the help they need. Together, we will decide on a plan for our future work together. This plan may include different types of treatment, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or psychodynamic therapy. My goal is always to create an environment where clients can feel safe, supported, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
