Hi, I'm Romena Nazaryan, LMFT. I work with adults and older adults moving through big life transitions: retirement, caregiving, loss, identity shifts, relationship change, and the anxiety or grief that can come with them. I know how disorienting those moments feel, and I'd be glad to help you find steadier footing. Reach out and let's talk.
My approach is psychodynamic and trauma-informed: we look at the patterns underneath what's happening right now, often rooted in earlier experiences, so you understand not just what you feel but why. Alongside that, I draw on cognitive behavioral tools for anxious or stuck thinking, narrative therapy to help you make sense of your story, and strength-based techniques that build on what's already working. When couples or families are involved, I bring in emotion-focused and solution-focused approaches to rebuild communication and trust. Sessions are collaborative. You set the pace, and we adjust as we go.
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. We'll talk through what brought you in, what life transition or struggle you're carrying, and what you'd like to be different. There's no pressure to have it all figured out. By the end, you'll leave with a clearer sense of where we're headed together and feel less alone in it.
