Life Purpose/Meaning/Inner Peace
Have you ever felt like there's something missing, like you're drifting without a clear direction? Many of us yearn for a deeper sense of purpose and inner peace, but it can feel elusive amidst life's chaos. Therapy provides a safe haven to explore these existential questions, a space where you can voice your uncertainties and aspirations without judgment. Through heartfelt conversations and guided introspection, therapy helps you uncover the values and passions that light your path, leading you towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life journey.
Self-Esteem and Self-Confident
Self-esteem and self-confidence are integral components of our overall well-being, intertwining to shape our self-perception and actions. While self-confidence empowers us to navigate specific areas of our lives, self-esteem forms the foundation of our self-worth and influences our choices on a broader scale. While building self-confidence often involves tangible achievements, cultivating self-esteem requires a deeper exploration of our inner beliefs and self-acceptance. By nurturing both aspects, we can unlock our true potential, make empowered decisions, and foster a balanced approach to self-care.
Both self-esteem and self-confidence are fundamental aspects of personal growth and fulfillment. Dr. Sabeti understands the significance of these factors and is dedicated to helping individuals navigate their self-esteem journey. With her guidance, individuals can uncover their inner strengths, address self-esteem concerns, and unlock their true potential, leading to a more empowered and gratifying life.
Depression
Depression is a widespread mood disorder that affects numerous individuals, regardless of age or gender. It is characterized by symptoms that significantly impact a person's emotional well-being, thoughts, and ability to engage in daily activities. Some types of depression include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and Postpartum Depression (PPD).
It is essential to evaluate and diagnose the specific type of depression an individual is experiencing, as treatment approaches may differ. Early intervention is crucial for effective management and recovery.
Psychotherapy proves beneficial in aiding family members with depression by instilling new thinking patterns, modifying behavior, and addressing habits that contribute to their depressive state. Dr. Nooshin Sabeti utilizes evidence-based approaches for depression treatment, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT), among other methods, which may vary depending on the specific type of depression and the patient's age.
Anxiety/Social Anxiety/Phobia
Anxiety is a natural human response to stress or potential threats. It is a feeling of unease, fear, or worry that can range from mild to severe. While it is normal to experience occasional anxiety in response to certain situations, such as before a job interview or a public speaking engagement, anxiety becomes a concern when it becomes excessive, persistent, and interferes with daily life.
Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive and irrational worry or fear. These disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and specific phobias, among others. Symptoms of anxiety can manifest in various ways, such as physical symptoms (racing heartbeat, shortness of breath), cognitive symptoms (excessive worry, difficulty concentrating), and behavioral symptoms (avoidance of certain situations).
Dr. Sabeti offers personalized support for individuals dealing with anxiety. She conducts assessments to understand symptoms, collaborates on tailored treatment plans, and utilizes evidence-based approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). With relaxation techniques, compassionate space, and a focus on uncovering underlying causes, she helps individuals manage anxiety, challenge negative thoughts, and develop improved coping and problem-solving skills. Through therapy, Dr. Sabeti equips you with the necessary tools to overcome anxiety, regain control over your life, and apply these strategies effectively in your daily life.
Stress Management
Stress is a common experience that can have significant effects on both mental and physical well-being. When we encounter stressors, whether they are external events or internal pressures, our bodies and minds respond in various ways. While a certain amount of stress can be motivating and adaptive, chronic or excessive stress can be detrimental.
On a mental level, stress can lead to feelings of anxiety, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. It can also contribute to the development or exacerbation of mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety disorders. Moreover, stress can impact our physical health, leading to symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Prolonged exposure to stress can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illness and slower in their recovery.
While engaging in stress management techniques, such as regular physical exercise, relaxation practices like deep breathing or meditation, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, can effectively reduce the negative effects of stress, therapy goes beyond these self-help techniques. It provides individuals with a dedicated space to explore the underlying causes of their stress and discover lasting solutions.
With the guidance of a therapist, individuals can tailor stress management techniques to their specific needs and circumstances, allowing for more effective and sustainable stress reduction.
Dr. Sabeti is dedicated to empowering individuals to prioritize self-care, actively address stress, and achieve a healthier balance in life. With her expertise and compassionate approach, she guides individuals on their journey toward stress management and emotional well-being. Through collaborative therapy sessions, Dr. Sabeti helps individuals cultivate inner peace, regain control over their lives, and achieve a state of balance and harmony.
Anger Management
Anger management is a psychotherapeutic program that helps people express their anger in a healthy way. It can be helpful for people who have difficulty managing their anger, who often lash out or become aggressive, or feel like they are always angry.
There are many different types of anger management programs, but they all share some common goals, which include:
1- Identifying triggers and knowing what are the things that make you angry.
2- The ability to remain calm and think rationally when experiencing anger and the body enters the fight-or-flight response.
3- Knowing how to express anger in a healthy way.
Therapy empowers individuals to respond to challenging situations with clarity and in a calm manner.
To get a better result, Dr. Nooshin Sabeti tailors anger management techniques based on each person's unique characteristics and offers ongoing guidance and support.
Greif, Loss and Bereavement

In therapy, individuals are provided with a safe environment to honor their feelings, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and integrate the loss into their lives, fostering growth and resilience. By seeking therapy, individuals find solace and support from others who have experienced similar losses, embarking on a transformative journey of healing and rebuilding.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can result from experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, causing significant distress, and interfering with daily functioning. Therapy plays a crucial role in addressing and healing from the effects of trauma. Through therapy, individuals can process traumatic memories, develop effective coping strategies, and reduce the impact of PTSD symptoms on their lives. Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to reclaim their sense of safety, regain control over their lives, and experience post-traumatic growth.
If you are struggling with PTSD, Dr. Sabeti can help. Dr. Sabeti is a qualified therapist with extensive experience in treating PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. She can help you understand your symptoms, develop coping mechanisms, and heal from your experience.
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse during childhood and adolescence is a deeply traumatic experience that can have significant and long-lasting effects on an individual's life. The impact of sexual abuse extends beyond the immediate trauma, often leading to profound emotional, psychological, and relational challenges. It can manifest in various ways, including low self-esteem, trust issues, guilt, shame, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and difficulties with intimacy and relationships.
Therapy plays a crucial role in helping survivors of sexual abuse navigate the complex aftermath and regain control over their lives. The therapeutic process provides a safe and supportive space for survivors to address their experiences, process emotions, and embark on a healing journey. There are several therapy approaches recommended for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse:
1- Trauma-focused therapy utilizes evidence-based techniques like CBT and EMDR to address trauma's specific impact. It helps survivors process traumatic memories, challenge negative thoughts, and develop healthy coping strategies.
2- Person-centered therapy provides a nurturing and accepting environment where survivors can explore emotions, rebuild trust, and regain a sense of self-worth through empathy, unconditional positive regard, and non-judgmental support.
3- Expressive therapies like art, music, or dance/movement therapy allow survivors to express and process emotions non-verbally. These creative outlets offer communication and self-expression when words are challenging or triggering.
It is important to note that therapy should be individualized to meet the unique needs of each survivor. Dr. Nooshin Sabeti as a skilled and experienced trauma-informed therapist, can tailor the therapeutic approach and techniques to the specific circumstances and goals of the survivor. With therapy, survivors of sexual abuse can find support, healing, and empowerment as they work towards reclaiming their lives and building a brighter future.

Identity Crisis
Identity issues are an inherent part of the human experience, encompassing questions about our values, beliefs, and sense of self. Understanding and exploring our identity are crucial for personal growth and self-acceptance.
