Getting to know Talaye Zarafshandardaky

Hi there, I'm Talaye! I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults, particularly those navigating anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach is supportive and collaborative, helping clients build skills to manage challenges and embrace their unique strengths. I take an integrative approach, using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. I also incorporate creative therapies such as music therapy, lyric analysis, and art therapy to help clients express what’s hard to put into words. For those with autism and ADHD, I tailor interventions to address sensory sensitivities, executive functioning challenges, and social anxiety, fostering emotional regulation and personal growth. I primarily work with teenagers and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, and self-esteem issues. I’m experienced in supporting clients with autism and ADHD, as well as addressing trauma, relationship difficulties, and emotional regulation challenges. My goal is to help clients navigate their healing journey while recognizing and celebrating their unique cognitive styles. In sessions, I create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported. Whether you prefer a structured approach or creative outlets, I work collaboratively to ensure therapy feels comfortable and empowering. For clients with autism or ADHD, I adapt the pace and structure of sessions to fit your needs, promoting engagement and clarity. My journey to becoming a therapist was fueled by a passion for helping others through life’s challenges, especially those who feel misunderstood or disconnected. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate, effective care.
