Getting to know Bahar Amini

Hi there, I'm Bahar! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting people to heal and grow into the person they are becoming. In our sessions, we honor your background, identity, and lived experience to help shape the trajectory of your continued journey. My focus Struggling with trauma, anxiety, or depression? I work with adults who carry both personal and generational experiences. Together, we’ll explore the stories and strengths you come from. Our work will focus on building coping skills and creating a growth plan that feels achievable and aligned with your goals. My approach My approach is intuitive, collaborative, strengths-based —meeting you where you are and gently inviting deeper insight. My practice bridges modern clinical methods with psycho-spiritual knowledge. My communication style I listen actively and make space for you to reflect with me as an empathetic partner. I approach our work with cultural humility—staying curious about your background, honoring your lived experiences, while collaboratively questioning patterns that may feel toxic or unhealthy. My journey to mental healthcare I became a provider because I grew up between worlds, feeling the gaps between home, culture, and the outside world. I learned that we already know who we are—it’s just a matter of remembering, not shrinking into the boxes society creates. That understanding drives my work today. My goals for you I help you reach your goals by checking in regularly and making sure our work stays aligned with what you want. You set the goals, and I support you in shaping them into something clear and attainable. Throughout time, I’ll ask what’s working and what needs adjusting so the process stays collaborative and grounded in where your life is headed. Our first session Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask about your background, what brings you into therapy, and the goals you’d like to explore.
