Getting to know Shayma Mortazavi
Hi there, I'm Shayma!
My name is Shayma Mortazavi, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As an experienced psychotherapist, I use a no-nonsense, reality-based approach that is bold, direct, and yet highly empathetic-leaving those I serve inspired and filled with hope. I work with a wide range of adults who have faced severe psychological challenges, including depression, mood instability, anxiety, anger management, work stress, relationship and parenting issues, life phase adjustments, grief and loss, and cultural transition experiences. I also have extensive knowledge of addiction and recovery.
My approach
I am dedicated to meeting the needs of my clients through a straightforward, reality-based treatment style that combines boldness and empathy. This approach aims to empower and inspire hope in those I serve.
My focus
I specialize in supporting adults facing complex psychological challenges such as depression, mood instability, anxiety, anger management, work-related stress, relationship and parenting difficulties, life transitions, grief, loss, and cultural adjustments. Additionally, I bring extensive knowledge of addiction and recovery to my work.
My communication style
In therapy, I am genuine, direct, and bold. I respect your time and your commitment to growth and change. To support your progress, I incorporate a variety of innovative and creative homework assignments that help you practice the principles we cover in our sessions.
Our first session
Our initial session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We will explore your personal history across various areas in a safe, judgment-free environment. During these early sessions, we will collaboratively determine a path for your growth and development to guide our future work together.
