Sayeh Ghazizadeh, Psy.D.

I am dedicated to creating a warm, compassionate, and safe therapeutic alliance, collaborating with clients to meet their unique goals. My approach is integrative, drawing from various therapeutic orientations, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I tailor my treatment methods to fit each client’s needs and preferences, emphasizing a collaborative process where we work together to create meaningful treatment goals. Feedback from my clients is highly valued to ensure therapy remains personalized and aligned with their evolving needs. I approach clients with kindness, flexibility, compassion, and acceptance, ensuring that they feel safe and supported throughout the therapeutic process. I am committed to meeting my clients where they are in life, working collaboratively to address their challenges.

I provide therapy to young adults, adults, and older adults, from diverse multicultural backgrounds. I address a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, adjustment disorders, relationship difficulties, stress management, grief and loss, and personal growth. As a multicultural psychologist, I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care, integrating diverse perspectives into my practice, and fostering strong therapeutic relationships that facilitate creative, timely interventions.
