Getting to know Dalar Shahnazarian

My name is Dalar Shahnazarian, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles. I've been practicing in the field for over 8 years across various mental health settings such as high schools, clinics, jails, and social services. I believe in helping everyone and reducing the stigma that exists within culturally diverse communities. My focus has been on anxiety management and helping clients develop healthy coping skills, reduce stress, and prevent burnout. My approach I meet clients where they are and work together to set clear goals for treatment. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychoeducation, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy, along with other tools tailored to each client's needs to best address their symptoms. My focus I have worked with various age groups and backgrounds, but my approach is best suited for adults facing life challenges such as career, relationships, and other social pressures. These often present as anxiety, depression, and stress. I help my clients navigate these transition periods and build coping skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. I am also bilingual and love working with the Armenian community. My communication style My communication style is calm, empathetic, and focused on providing a safe space to talk about anything. I want my clients to feel comfortable and open in each session-this is your time and space, and I am here to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I earned my Master's in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California (USC) and have a background in Psychology from California State University, Los Angeles. I am an empath, and being a therapist feels natural to me because I have always wanted to help people. I am naturally drawn to supporting others through any hardship.
