Anahit Oksouzian

AMFT, Supervised by Annie Kuni


I am a therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families, with a focus on creating a grounded, supportive space where people can feel safe exploring their inner world. My approach is rooted in mindfulness-based CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and feminist therapy, with an emphasis on understanding how past experiences, relationships, and systems of power shape the way we move through life.
I take a holistic and relational approach to therapy. We will focus on recognizing how past experiences, relationships, and larger social systems can shape the ways we think, feel, and move
through life. Together, we can identify patterns, process past experiences, and build healthier,
more adaptive ways of relating to yourself and others.
My style is warm, relational, and thoughtful, with the goal of helping clients feel more connected to themselves, build resilience, and feel more confident in their ability to grow and heal.
