About Mazda

He focuses on helping people regain stability during adjustment periods, manage anxiety and anger, and address depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and compassion fatigue.

His practice draws on an integrative mix of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices. He blends psychological tools with guided imagery and meditation to create tailored plans that address both immediate problems and longer-term growth.

Mazda aims to help clients clarify priorities, improve communication, and develop practical skills for everyday challenges. Fluent in English and Persian, he practices in California and uses a collaborative stance that centers client goals.

Prospective clients can expect a pragmatic, compassionate approach that balances short-term symptom relief with deeper exploration of life purpose, forgiveness, and self-love.

Integrative approaches and online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and relaxation skills that can reduce reactivity, support emotional regulation, and complement other techniques for coping with difficult feelings. Hypnotherapy involves guided imagery and focused attention to access inner resources and support changes in habit, motivation, and stress responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Mazda will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals and preferences. Together they assess immediate needs, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan over time to balance symptom relief and longer-term growth.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules and geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver CBT, mindfulness exercises, solution-focused planning, and hypnotherapeutic elements in ways that fit a client’s daily life and accessibility needs.
