Ashraf Hosseini, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Individual, Couple, and Family Psychotherapy
From childhood to adulthood to older years, we face challenges that are mostly relational and/or emotional. If you don't have the right tools to deal with these challenges, they become roadblocks in relationships with yourself as well as significant people in your life-i.e. your partner, children, parents, siblings, and friends. To improve the quality of your life and relationships, to explore your purpose and direction in life, I can guide you on a path to self-fulfillment. You will develop an awareness of the past, learn to live healthier in the present by better managing yourself and your relationships, and focus on planning a more hopeful journey to the future.

I work with individuals, couples, and parents. My specialties are relationship issues, mood disorders, and addiction. If you feel depressed/ anxious, have relationship problems, or not sure about the direction in your life, then don’t wait to make an appointment with me.

I believe in a holistic attitude to mind's wellness and relationships. To achieve this I use different theoretical frameworks from an existential approach to life's problems, to exploring unhealthy behaviors/thoughts, to accepting the "self", and to making changes that can lead to a more fulfilling life.
