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.
