Aramesh Afshar

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I work with women who feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns, often experiencing disconnection, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients find themselves in push-pull dynamics where one partner seeks closeness and the other pulls away. My approach is warm but direct. I help you understand what is driving these patterns and how to create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is rooted in attachment-based therapy and informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I focus on helping clients identify the patterns that shape how they relate to themselves and others, especially in close relationships. In sessions, I am active and engaged, helping you slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and respond in new ways. We focus on gaining clarity, strengthening boundaries, and creating more secure, fulfilling relationships.

In our first session, we will focus on understanding what is bringing you in and what feels most important to you right now. I will ask questions to get a clear picture of your experiences, patterns, and goals, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. My goal is to help you start making sense of what is happening and and begin creating a clear direction for our work together. You can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, along with a more active and engaged approach than just listening. By the end of the session, you will have a better understanding of how we can move forward.
