Getting to know Atefeh Metanat

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you’re navigating trauma, mood shifts, or a complicated relationship with alcohol or substances. Perhaps you’re a teen or young adult trying to understand anxiety, identity, or where you belong. Whatever brings you here, you deserve a space where you can slow down and feel supported. As an LMSW with a Master’s degree from Columbia University, my background includes working with adults and youth navigating trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, and substance use. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, and I approach this work without judgment or rigid expectations. Whether your goal is abstinence, harm reduction, or greater awareness, I am ready to meet you where you are.

What should a new client know about working with you?

We may draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and humanistic focused therapies, while also incorporating nervous system regulation and somatic awareness. I also offer psychedelic integration support for clients seeking to thoughtfully process and make meaning of their experiences.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

At the core of my work is the belief that you are capable and worthy. Many of the strategies that once helped you survive may no longer be serving you. Together, we can build emotional resilience, self-trust, and healthier ways of coping that align with the life you want to live. I invite and encourage a more relaxed, holistic, and meaningful life experience . If you’re looking for a grounded and compassionate space to explore your inner self, I’d be honored to connect.
