Getting to know Mojdeh Motamedi
I'm Mojdeh Motamedi, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Penn State University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, San Diego. I'm proud of you for taking the step to start therapy, as it is not easy to begin. My approach focuses on your goals while validating and supporting you throughout the process. I especially work with children, adolescents, and their families but also provide care for adults.
My approach
I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and parenting programs like Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). These methods have been shown through research to be effective for difficulties including anxiety, trauma, depression, and behavioral problems. I am also familiar with interventions targeting attachment, family systems, OCD and anxiety, emotions, eating disorders, peer problems, and substance use. I will be transparent about what I can offer, best practices for your concerns, and the treatment process. My priority is to help you and your family feel and function better. If my approach does not work for you, I will support you in connecting with a therapist who is a better fit.
My focus
My specialty is working with children, adolescents, and their caregivers. I have experience treating depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, eating disorders, ARFID, adjustment disorders, behavioral problems (e.g., oppositional defiant disorder), ADHD, tics, skin or hair pulling, individuals with co-occurring autism and developmental delays, and other diagnoses. I have received additional specialty training for treating PTSD and all anxiety disorders, including selective mutism and OCD. I also have significant experience working with refugees.
My communication style
I strive to be supportive, non-judgmental, validating, trauma-informed, and culturally respectful.
