Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Thousand Oaks, CA

I'm a therapist offering in-person sessions in the Thousand Oaks area of Southern California, and telehealth to folks throughout California. I decided to become a therapist after many years of working in corporate America, and I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and LMFT license.

Trauma-Informed. I specialize in treating adults with unresolved childhood traumas / C-PTSD. I deeply understand how early life experiences shape present-day struggles—I specialize in helping people heal from those roots, not just manage surface-level symptoms.

I am trained in powerful, evidence-based and experiential modalities like EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Not one-size-fits-all—I tailor treatment to each individual’s nervous system, attachment patterns, and inner world.

Most importantly, I show up as a therapist: I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can be fully seen, heard, and validated. I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I meet clients with compassion, patience, and respect for their pace.

I am committed to helping clients work through inner emotional conflicts so they can move toward a more stable, fulfilling, and connected life—not just symptom relief, but real, lasting transformation.

You should know that I genuinely care about the people I work with. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your lived experience. I believe healing happens through safety, connection, and understanding—not pressure or judgment. My role is to walk alongside you as you make sense of patterns, heal from past experiences, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience specializing in attachment, boundaries, anxiety, and the relational patterns that keep people feeling stuck. My clinical background includes CBT, DBT, ERP, and Brainspotting, and I integrate these evidence‐based approaches with a warm, direct, and collaborative style. I work with adults, teens, and parents navigating anxiety, relationship stress, family conflict, and identity shifts. I also have extensive experience supporting clients in non‐traditional relationship structures, including polyamory and ethical non‐monogamy, and provide a non‐judgmental, informed space for exploring these dynamics.

If you are looking to become a better, happier, and healthier person and would like to gain a deeper understanding and love for yourself and others, I can help you. Psychotherapy can improve the quality of your life and/or manage more serious issues such as depression, anxiety, and grief. The process focuses on comfortably connecting with you in a confidential and empathetic, therapeutic setting.

Life can be especially difficult for people today. It is my goal to assist all my clients starting at age 3 years, through adults to learn how to make healthy and positive decisions in their lives and to empower them to have a good, healthy self image and to successfully move into their future.

Dr. Jazi graduated from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2006. He had a strong enthusiasm for studying the brain function. Therefore, he decided to join a neuroscience research lab at the University of Bremen in Germany in 2007. In 2009, he joined a graduate program at the Barrow Neurological Institute at Arizona State University to further study the brain and expand his studies in the field of neuroscience. He has presented in many neuroscience conferences and has published several papers in scientific journals. For a list of his papers please click here.

His research background in the field of neuroscience was extremely helpful in understanding mental health disorders. His enthusiasm to help patients and families dealing with mental health problems was an important motive to start his training in psychiatry. In 2014, he joined the Psychiatry Residency Program at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in Roanoke, Virginia. During his residency training he was working in both academic and community settings with a variety of patient populations. Having special interest in mental health disorder in older adults, after graduating from residency in Adult Psychiatry, he did a fellowship in Geriatric Psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where he was trained more specifically to take care of older adults with mental health disorders. He graduated from Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship at UCLA in 2019 and shortly after he began his private practice.
