Dr. Amir Faghfoory

Thank you for viewing my profile today! I have worked as a psychiatrist for almost two decades and essentially in every setting. First and foremost, an appointment is an EXPERIENCE. So, my strengths are those aspects described as HELPFUL by the person who sees me in an appointment and may be different for each person based on their EXPERIENCE. I try to meet people WHERE THEY ARE so that they take away from sessions the feeling of personalized and attentive care, even if there is only that one appointment.

I do my best to personalize our appointment so that you find it to be a positive experience. I look forward to collaborating with you on how I might be of help! I do not have a particular answer in mind and throughout my career have worked with people of all ages and various backgrounds. Every person has a valuable story to share (if they are open to sharing) and I am very interested in learning about each person's journey that has gotten them to this point.

In addition to the above, if at the first appointment, it appears that your needs would be best served by another provider, I will not hesitate to tell you so because I want to make sure you are receiving optimal and appropriate care. I greatly value attuning to what people tell me in the first session, and I take a brief history so that I can get to know each person's life a bit more. At the same time, there is an adequate opportunity for people to share what they feel is most important. If we are not listening to what people who are under our care are telling us, we are not doing our job. With that said, some individuals may have more to share at the first appointment, while others do not. In any case, I try to get a feel for what each person is looking for and prioritizes most in that first appointment.
