Shahrzad Sepanlou
I find meaning and joy in being able to help others experience happiness, inner peace, and harmonious relationships in their lives. I have a friendly, down-to-earth style and often connect with clients from various backgrounds and cultures with ease. It is important for me to connect with clients early in the therapy process. The person-centered or Rogerian approach, including empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence are the basis of forming a strong client-therapist relationship. I use a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches in therapy. I am also a trauma-focused therapist and use EMDR for treating clients whose current issues stem from the ongoing activation and distress caused by past trauma. I use emotionally focused therapy with couples to focus on attachment needs and vulnerable emotions of partners and how their attempts to connect with one another can at times backfire and create a negative cycle which drives the couple further apart. From our first session the focus is to help you express your thoughts and emotions in a comfortable, judgement free and supportive environment and to identify and work on goals that matter to you. My hope is that my clients can become more empowered, confident, and joyful through the process of therapy.
