About me

You’ve taken a courageous step in searching for a therapist and I’m glad you’re here. I’m Masood Maghaddam, a bicultural/bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker supporting clients’ goals toward positive change. I use an integrative approach, utilizing both behavioral and psychodynamic methods that’s personalized to your specific needs. Whether you’re wanting to improve your quality of life and strengthen relationships or facing anxiety or depression, I’m here to help and empower you on this healing journey.

My work as a therapist center on my belief of embracing change and honoring your strengths, innate wisdom, and autonomy. I use various forms of science-based treatment, such as cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, integrative/holistic, DBT, and other trauma-informed practices. In our work together, I’ll tailor the methods used based on your specific needs and preferences to best encourage your self-discovery and growth. We’ll explore your experiences, beliefs, thoughts, and emotions to build self-awareness, coping strategies, and emotional regulation.

I work with adults across the lifespan through individual and couples therapy, and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I’m passionate about helping you heal your relationship with yourself, make desired changes, and deepen your connections with others.
