Getting to know Pari Semsar

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of trauma, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, grounded in the belief that healing begins with connection and that every person holds innate strengths worth honoring. I integrate evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed interventions. I’m also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful method for processing trauma and fostering emotional resilience. As a person of color and an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I’m committed to providing culturally sensitive care to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including English- and Farsi-speaking communities. Whether you are exploring your identity, working through relational challenges, or seeking relief from persistent worry, I’m here to support you with warmth, curiosity, and respect.
