Dr. Saba Ghazimoghadam

As a licensed psychologist, I am passionate about assisting and empowering people to achieve a healthy and peaceful life. I place great importance on cultivating a collaborative relationship with each of my patients. My goal with each patient is to help them explore and recognize their needs while supporting them in the process of self-discovery and restoration.

I hope to provide a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment for patients to explore their concerns and be able to gain insight on how to heal and depart from their underlying issues. 

I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of concerns including clients experiencing anxiety; depression; life transitions such as divorce, college, marriage, or having a child; stress; women’s health including post-partum and menopause; and struggles in intimate relationships and parenting. I have a focused specialty in working with survivors of trauma; addiction/substance abuse for self or in client’s families; and issues related to experiences of injustice and oppression. I am originally from the Middle-East and speak Farsi. I have a deep understanding about cultural differences, the pains of immigration, and family and religious conflicts.
