Getting to know Azadeh Shirgir

Hi all, my name is Azadeh, or Azi. I am an experienced psychotherapist with over 10 years assisting clients of all ages and ethnicities. I help adult clients with anxiety and depression identify their strength and power to become happier versions of themselves. I am a certified trauma and anxiety clinician as well, holding CCTP and CCATP credentials. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the City University of New York, College of Staten Island. My favorite quotes are: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — Mary Oliver, and “Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.” — Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Master. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, EMDR, feminist therapy, and mindfulness practices. No one approach works for all clients; therefore, I use what works best for each individual as I get to know them better and as they let me see their authentic self. I see clients 18 and older all over Texas and New York through Telehealth. I believe in the therapeutic relationship, the safe and warm interaction, collaboration, and how creating a non-judgmental environment helps clients thrive. I feel honored to be part of my clients' journey in improving the quality of their lives. Thank you in advance for trusting me to help you. Pay By: American Express, Discover, Mastercard, Venmo, Visa, Zelle Accepted Insurance Plans: Aetna BlueCross and BlueShield Cigna and Evernorth Oscar Health Oxford UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH I use Headway to handle billing through health insurance. Self-pay is also done through Headway. Qualifications: Years in Practice: 10 Years Licenses: LPC, LMHC Specializations: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, ADHD

What should a new client know about working with you?

My sessions are a safe space for my clients to be fully themselves, to feel heard, and accepted as they are experiencing the world. I take pride in providing non-judgmental sessions where the clients allow themselves to feel vulnerable, and to get the tools they need towards their goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Once a client books with me, I reach out to them via phone or email and direct them to Headway to make an account. Once, they have made their account and signed the consent forms ( needs to be completed 24 hours before the session), I will send a zoom link for sessions via email. Once I meet the client, I will do an intake assessment to evaluate the severity of the issues and if appropriate for outpatient, I will suggest weekly or 2x week sessions. And, we usually go from there. I always encourage clients to plan for their session in order to get the most by choosing a goal to focus on.

Safe and non-judgmental environment to open up and dig deep
She talks a lot about her own personal life, which I found to be inappropriate when I am being charged on the minute to discuss my issues. I also thought it was careless of her to insinuate infidelity on the part of my spouse without any evidence, which only added to my stress and anxiety in this particularly depressing time of my life.

Azadeh is thoughtful, patient, compassionate, and supportive. Her guidance was essential to helping me achieve my goals and I will always be thankful to her for that.
Azi is a very attentive listener and creates a safe space that allowed me to share personal experiences. I appreciate that she offers different perspectives, which can help in thinking through situations in new ways but also create personal growth.

Very pleasant experience. Azadeh is a great listener, very compassionate and understanding. Offers different therapies that tailor to your own personal situation. She really wants to help her patients and it shows. Highly recommended.
I’ve been seeing Azi for a little over a year now and she’s been essential to my growth and satisfaction with my life and where it’s headed. I came into therapy with certain goals and she helped me obtain those without overstepping or pushing too hard. She also helped me reach goals I didn’t even know I needed. By creating a safe and supportive environment, while also bringing her expert experience as a therapist, she can help you find the life you want to live.
Azadeh is very experienced, is very insightful and gives great life tips. She has helped me through tough times of my life. I am grateful to her. I recommend her for anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems.
Azadeh "Azi" is amazing! She is patient, kind, and has a great sense of humor. Azi tailors her schedule in a smooth manner; considerate of her patients' needs as well. She is open to talk about a variety of topics and is great at following up on where we left off. I would highly recommend Azi to anyone who is looking for a therapist who is laidback and flexible in discussing from a number of areas. I'm really glad I found Azi. She is every understandable and makes you feel really comfortable.
Really great, highly recommend!
Dr Azi is a very kind, patient and understanding therapist who’s been helping me tremendously navigate a difficult period in my life. Highly recommend!
Azadeh is very Supportive and I always look forward to our sessions! She listens but also gives recommendations and advice. She wants her clients to succeed.
I have been seeing Azadeh Shirgir for a while now and have had a truly positive experience. They have provided a safe, supportive space where I feel heard and understood. Their approach is both compassionate and professional, and they help me work through difficult emotions and challenges in a constructive way. I appreciate their guidance and the tools they’ve provided to help me grow and improve my mental health.
I have recommended Azadeh to my family members and she'll always be my go-to person when I need help. She made me feel heard and our sessions didn't feel clinical. She's easy to talk to and her treatment plan made my issues become nonexistent. I can't thank her enough.
Azadeh is amazing! She does really well to make sure that your needs are met and is super accommodating. She always came up with different strategies for my personal anxieties and left me in a place where I can use differing strategies to navigate through my life.
I just started. & I honestly, I feel like she acknowledges your point of view and takes her time to get to know your background to better understand you. I’m looking forward for my next therapy session. She’s a great start.

Azadeh is a compassionate, affirming and open-minded therapist who really listens. She has a very nurturing style, and provides constructive insight and feedback while allowing space to talk things through and feel feelings. It's clear that she truly cares about her patients' well-being and success.
Azadeh was wonderful to work with. She was super understanding and worked around my schedule. She was readily available if a session was needed on short notice. She’s extremely professional and she was always engaged in our sessions. She continuously provided excellent feedback that allowed me to regroup/reassess the issues I was working on. I would highly recommend hiring her if you’re looking to work on areas that she specializes in.
Azadeh is a fantastic counselor since day 1 - She is very thoughtful, considerate and flexible to her clients needs. She's easy to contact and makes you feel comfortable about the issue you are trying to work through. Can't say enough good things about her and appreciate her help getting me back on track!
I would recommend Azadeh to be your counselor because she is thoughtful, flexible and supportive of her clients. She gives great advice and listens with intent. If you need her she is reachable and is very considerate that you may need to see her before your appointment time. Can't say enough good things about how she has help me and get me on the right track!
I felt very welcomed and not pressured during the visit. Didn't feel rushed at all like how others do intake visits. I'm looking forward to future visits.
I will be a repeat patient yay

Aza was amazing to work with - she provided the tools and tips to help me for my specific situation. This was my first time speaking/visiting with a therapist so she really walked me through the relationship and empowered me to make it an experience that I was conformable with. I am truly grateful to have found such a helpful resource during my time of need.
Azadeh has been such a great benefit in my life as she has made me feel comfortable and safe. Every session is wonderful and very helpful!
Azadeh is incredible
Azadeh is a really fabulous therapist. She is an intentional listener and is deliberate in her advice and treatment. She awesome about remembering details about her clients. She treated me for EMDR therapy and I responded well. One time, I was having a panic attack and she made herself available to me and I was able to see her that very same afternoon (late on a Friday!) I cannot recommend her more!
Amazing doctor. I would recommend her to anyone!! I’ve been with her for over a year after only being with doctors for 3-6 months at a time.
Seeing Azadeh has been the best thing I have done for myself this past year. Her approach to therapy is very encouraging and very understanding. As someone who has had a rough time finding a therapist who really fits my needs these past few year - my first session felt like a breath of fresh air. She even helped me find a psychiatrist who really listens and provided me with a regimen that has completely changed my life for the better.
It was my first appointment so it was just the first meeting so it was a lot of me talking and explaining what my goals are and what we wanted to talk about and work on. It was a very good meeting. Looking forward to many more.
