Meet Mandana

We all know the importance of obtaining and maintaining our physical health. All too often our mental health, however, is overlooked, neglected, and taken for granted. By paying attention to your mind, body, and the context within which we exist we can begin to gain awareness and become mindful of the choices we can make every day. And even more still, the connection between our mind and body is ignored. I value and pay attention to the whole person. In a world where we can often feel disconnected, detached, and cut ourselves off from others, therapy can be a place where you start to put the pieces back together, by paying attention to the whole picture. I help focus you on your present experience which gives us a wealth of information to learn and grow from. I offer a supportive environment where your strengths and wisdom are acknowledged. I gently challenge you by offering honest and clear feedback while respecting where you are at and what you need. A good working relationship between therapist and client is crucial to effective therapy and therefore my approach is collaborative as we work together as a team to help foster growth and health.

I offer a supportive environment where your strengths and wisdom are acknowledged.
