Professional statement

Sarvenaz (Sahr-ve-nawz) Moshfegh Asiedu (she/they) is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 7 years of experience providing individual and group counseling. She is passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and empowerment, utilizing a holistic and multifaceted approach. Sarvenaz believes in the inherent strength and resilience of each person and strives to create a safe and affirming space for exploration and growth.

Her approach is deeply rooted in a trauma-informed, gender-affirming, multicultural, and decolonizing framework. She recognizes the diverse lived experiences of her clients and tailors her therapeutic interventions to meet their unique needs. Sarvenaz draws on a range of evidence-based modalities, including traditional talk therapy (CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy), **EMDR**, expressive therapies (Drama Therapy, Creative Writing, Art-Making, Meditation), and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Sarvenaz specializes in supporting individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, abuse, and addiction. She is particularly passionate about working with activists and artists, neuroqueer individuals, single mothers, first and second-generation Americans, survivors of the criminal justice system, survivors of childhood sexual abuse, refugees, and immigrants.

Sarvenaz facilitates a variety of group sessions, including bereavement support, meditation/mindfulness, neuroqueer support, HRT process groups, and art therapy. She encourages individual clients to participate in process groups, as they offer a supportive community where shared experiences can foster healing and growth. Sarvenaz is available for remote sessions and offers services such as sexual surrogate support and kink-positive therapy.

Her guiding principle is: "Everything in this world can be robbed and stolen, except one thing; this one thing is the love that emanates from a human being towards a solid commitment to a conviction or cause." ~ Ghassan Kanafani. Sarvenaz believes that through compassionate connection and collaborative work, individuals can cultivate a deeper understanding of self and create a life of purpose and meaning.


Message to clients

Greetings fellow human! Congratulations for getting this far in your healing journey! Finding the right therapist is so important. That being said, presently I have a waiting list for individual sessions, but do have room in groups. If you resonate with my profile, and you think we may be a good fit, please reach. We can have an informal chat to "check vibes", and talk about your needs. I am working 100 percent virtually at this time, and hold a number of groups. I am also open to being a secondary therapist if you are looking to enhance your journey with EMDR, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy or group therapy. I am a therapist that will consult with your other providers as needed (with your consent). (Please note that if I assess that you have an active addiction to mind altering substances, I will ask you to go to detox and after-care as needed before continuing with treatment.)

Looking forward to meeting you!

Sincerely

-Sarvenaz Moshfegh Asiedu, LMHC
