Dr. Fedra Tehrani

My initial interest in becoming a therapist was to assist loved ones to better cope with life transitions as well as to better understand human social and emotional behavior patterns. I have had extensive experience with clients in inpatient and outpatient settings working with them to address a range of concerns (depression, anxiety, Autism spectrum, ADHD, PTSD/Abuse history, generational trauma, Bipolar disorder, relationship issues). My investment in your therapy is to help you find better ways to overcome past and current life challenges and develop healthier responses to triggers.Your work in therapy with me may consist of re-evaluating and re-prioritizing your energy to focus more on underlying needs and find a much clearer path towards your goals. Although, I am familiar with a variety of therapeutic approaches, I have a Psycho-dynamic orientation and my focus is to help shed a light on possible troubling relational patterns and how they may be continuing to negatively impact …your life; this way, you can work on rebuilding healthier ones. I also apply Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where I help guide you in evaluating and changing how your inner narrative/thoughts influence your feelings and actions. I also Incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, Guided imagery, and Mindful Meditations, especially with clients with past trauma/abuse as well as generational trauma/abuse. So depending on what you bring into therapy, I tailor my work to support you in addressing it.I have experience with young adults and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds using an integrative approach and perspective. Overall, my work emphasizes the importance of relationships, family systems, and behavioral change by utilizing evidence-based therapies.
