About me

Sometimes the stresses of life, past and/or present, can become so much that we lose our way. We can become immobile and we don't know where or who to turn to. In working together we can turn your wounds into wisdom. I can provide you with the tools and guidance to get you through the mental and emotional storms of life by lighting your way back to a safe haven to once again enjoy your life and the opportunities that life brings. Together we can reach a better life.

Specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, relationship issues him there and anger management. The therapy modalities I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Short term Solution Focused treatment modalities. Currently I have Monday , Wednesday and Thursday appointments available.

Therapy was something I've always had on my mind for the accumulated issues I've collected to life. However, it was a step I had a hard time taking for some reason. But when I finally did, I'm so glad I did.

Shahriar has been an amazing guide through my mental growth over the past few months. He helped me identity feelings and Issues I didn't even know I had. Which in turn, helped me understand myself more. I also felt everything Shahriar suggested for me was very purposeful. I'm really happy with the growth I've gained working with Shahriar. Thank you!

Ive had two sessions with Shah and he has been quite amazing. He is quite engaging as well as genuine when it comes to the solutions he’s able to offer depending on what youre going through. He will help in leading you to becoming the best that you can be. Whether it might be anxiety or depression dont be afraid to open up to him and allow him to help you as best as he can. Thank you again shah!

I recently started therapy with Shane and it’s already been so incredibly helpful. He always makes me feel supported and I truly trust him. He is a very engaging and attentive therapist and I can’t recommend him enough. I have tried so many therapists and none have genuinely offered solutions the way that Shane does. He’s great!!

I can’t speak highly enough of my therapist Shahriar aka Shane. He’s warm, attentive, and very experienced working with clients with anxiety and depression. I recommend him to anyone looking for a progressive therapist who can help you work through issues and towards your best self!

I'm getting great value from my time with Shahriar, he is articulate and understanding when it comes to relationships both with ourselves and a partner. I'm very thankful that betterhelp paired me with him and I've found his help to be invaluable and I continue to work on being the best version of myself, that I can be for me and obviously, ultimately for my relationship.
