Getting to know Maryam Afshari
My name is Maryam Afshari, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT104786) with a Master's in Counseling from Webster University and a Bachelor's degree from California State University, Northridge. I am experienced in working with couples and individuals facing addiction, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and relationship issues.
My approach
I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions to support my clients.
My focus
I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
My communication style
My therapy style is warm, active, and nonjudgmental. I aim to build confidence and create a safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and emotions openly.
My journey to mental healthcare
What motivates me is the opportunity to grow by meeting new people and learning about each client's unique experience. It is rewarding to walk alongside individuals on their journey toward self-understanding, change, and finding light in their lives. Being trusted with my clients' deepest secrets, with the goal of relieving pain and discovering healthy, effective solutions, is why I love my career as a therapist.
My goals for you
Together, we can brainstorm the reasons you are seeking therapy and focus on one to three specific objectives. From there, we will plan actions to help you achieve those goals.
My first session with you
In our first session, I focus on getting to know you, making you feel safe, accepted, and comfortable. I will ask about the issues that brought you to therapy, your history and background, current symptoms or struggles, as well as your interests, strengths, and therapy goals.
