Getting to know Dr. Maria Rakhshan

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a clinical psychologist, I help people navigate the complex intersections of emotional wounds, relationships, and daily functioning. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by past trauma, struggling to connect in your relationships, experiencing the restlessness of ADHD, or simply running on empty due to poor sleep and chronic stress, I’m here to help you find clarity, relief, and resilience Through Theia Behavioral Health, I offer evidence-based psychotherapies and comprehensive diagnostic assessments helping you to find clarity and the bandwidth to help you keep moving forward.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide evidence-based therapy and comprehensive psychological evaluation grounded in advanced doctoral training. My approach goes beyond symptom management — I focus on accurate diagnosis, thoughtful case conceptualization, and measurable progress. I specialize in ADHD (including adult ADHD and diagnostic clarification), PTSD and trauma-related conditions, and depression. Many of my patients come to me after feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or stuck in treatment that didn’t fully address the root of their symptoms. I am particularly skilled in differential diagnosis — carefully distinguishing between ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety so that treatment is precise and effective. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and goal-oriented while still warm and deeply human. I integrate evidence-based modalities tailored to your needs, whether you are seeking clarity through formal testing or meaningful change through psychotherapy. If you are looking for a psychologist who combines clinical depth, diagnostic expertise, and compassionate care, I would be honored to work with you.
