Sahar Mokhtarpour Psychologist

As a psychologist, I aim to offer a space that feels safe, warm, collaborative, where you can slow down, make sense of what is driving your struggles, and reconnect with yourself in a deeper way. I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, trauma (including complex or childhood trauma), relationship difficulties, stress, and significant life changes. My approach is gentle but active: together we pay attention to your emotions, your body, and your relational patterns so we can understand how past experiences may be shaping how you feel and respond in the present. I am interested in what is happening beneath the surface, and in supporting you to build insight, self‑compassion, and more flexible ways of relating to yourself and others. I am trauma informed, neuro and gender affirming, and culturally responsive, meaning I see you not as a problem to be fixed but as a whole person with a unique history, nervous system, and identity. I work with your lived experience, values, culture, and neurotype, rather than trying to fit you into a one size fits all idea of mental health. In our work, we will move at a pace that feels manageable for you, balancing emotional safety with gentle, thoughtful challenge so that real and lasting change is possible. My hope is that therapy supports you to feel more connected to yourself, better understand and express your emotions, and create relationships and a life that feel more authentic and meaningful to you.
