What sets Maliheh apart is not only her professional expertise but also her warmth and compassion. She goes beyond the role of a therapist, offering the care and support of a close friend. Her calm and peaceful demeanor creates an environment of trust and safety, which is so essential for healing. I deeply appreciate her unwavering support and guidance as I navigated the pain of a very difficult trauma. Thanks to Maliheh, I’ve found a path toward healing and hope, and I will always be grateful for her help.

I use a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs, including:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This method focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages you to accept your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them.
Mindfulness: By cultivating mindfulness, you can learn to stay present and engaged in the moment, reducing stress and enhancing emotional regulation.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): This approach helps to strengthen the emotional bond between partners by addressing attachment and
bonding issues.Gottman Method: Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this method is grounded in research and focuses on improving relationship stability and satisfaction.I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
