“I worked with Shushanik for a little over a year, and I can honestly say that her support has had a lasting impact on my life. She is incredibly easy to talk to, grounded, and creates a safe space that makes it possible to open up about things. Her insight, professionalism, and steady guidance were instrumental in my growth.
I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and highly skilled therapist.”

Getting to know Shushanik Karapetyan
I welcome you, all of you – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I welcome the part of you that wants to scream and perhaps doesn’t know how to. I welcome the part of you that is screaming and not being heard. I welcome the part of you that constantly criticizes you – whose voice is that? I welcome the many versions of you as a child – carefree? careful? I welcome the parts of you that are shining and the parts of you that are hiding. I welcome the parts of you that feel uncontrollable and the parts of you that you keep in order. I welcome the parts you want to get rid of and the parts you cling onto.
Our work together is about inviting all your inner selves to the table and hearing them out – how is each part, some seemingly “bad,” trying to help you?
Areas of Specialization:
My client base includes adults in creative fields such as artists, writers, actors, and musicians. Our work has focused on using art as a therapeutic tool, processing the life experiences that prompted artistic pursuits, and on dealing with the struggles which follow from choosing art as a lifestyle and as a career.
Another area of focus in my practice is women’s mental health. We explore identity, relationships, career, pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. Themes that frequently emerge during our sessions include the mother/daughter dynamic, and the impact of culture and society on perceptions of self and influence of life choices.
I also work with individuals who are struggling to navigate two worlds - dual cultures, families, identities, work/life balance and diverse interests.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In a typical session…
I invite you to tune into your body and notice what is happening to your body as you speak or have an experience. Integrating an awareness of body sensations with your narrative can help us understand how you process information. I may experiment with dreamwork, guided imagery, chair work, and other techniques to help bring past and current struggles to life in the therapeutic setting.

I’m so incredibly pleased with my session with Shushanik! I was skeptical at first using this app to find a therapist, but I’m so glad I followed through. She is a consummate professional in her field, and listened with such an empathetic and investigative ear. Already unpacking so much with one session! Can’t wait to continue working with her, she’s amazing.

Overall therapy has made a big difference in my personal & professional life. I was given an opportunity to hear and speak about my thoughts, opinions, and decisions and more important explore my feelings about those actions. I was given a safe space to develop a better version of myself and given the tools necessary to deal with my obstacles in life.
