I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who specializes in working with individuals navigating ADHD, autism, trauma, PTSD, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. My approach is insight-oriented and focuses on helping clients understand the deeper origins of their emotional struggles, relationship patterns, and self-perceptions. Together, we explore how past experiences—often rooted in family dynamics—continue to shape the present, creating opportunities for greater self-awareness, self-forgiveness, and meaningful change. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients are treated with dignity and respect, with the goal of helping them break free from cycles of self-doubt, shame, and unhappiness while building a stronger sense of self-worth and resilience.

My goal is to listen, understand, and collaborate with you to address your concerns and help you achieve your personal goals. Each of us has our own story and sources of pain, and together, we can explore the root causes of your challenges with care and curiosity. I aim to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered to work toward deeper understanding and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I support clients in exploring the emotional patterns, life experiences, relationships, and stressors that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, or feeling stuck. Therapy is not about judging where you are; it is about helping you understand yourself more clearly and build healthier ways of coping, communicating, and healing.

At TellMel Mental Health, we understand that anxiety, depression, stress, focus difficulties, and overwhelming emotions can make everyday life feel much harder than it should. Many of our clients are doing everything they can to manage responsibilities at work, school, home, or in relationships, yet still find themselves feeling stuck, exhausted, or disconnected from the life they want. Our approach starts by meeting you where you are, understanding your unique experiences, and creating a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy, medication management, or both. Together, we focus on helping you build practical skills, improve emotional well-being, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Hi, I’m Afshin (pronounced of-sheen), a queer therapist dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with teens, young adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and neurodivergent clients who may be navigating anxiety, burnout, identity exploration, self-doubt, or the challenges of living in a world that often expects them to fit into narrow boxes. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply human-centered. Drawing from Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, DBT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients better understand themselves, challenge limiting stories, build practical coping skills, and create lives that feel more authentic and sustainable. Whether we're processing difficult emotions, exploring identity, or celebrating small victories, our work together is grounded in curiosity, acceptance, and meaningful growth.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a strong background in emergency nursing, military service, and mental health care. My clinical experience has shaped the way I practice: calm under pressure, direct when needed, and deeply committed to helping people feel steady again. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, life stress, burnout, mood concerns, sleep issues, and medication management needs. Before becoming a psychiatric provider, I served in the U.S. Navy. I later worked as an emergency department nurse, where I learned the importance of listening well, acting decisively, and treating the whole person, and not just a diagnosis. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in real life. I help patients understand their symptoms, explore treatment options, and build a plan that supports both stability and long-term growth.
