05/18/2022: More than 40 million adults in the US live with anxiety disorders. Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health concerns in the country. Therapy or counseling is one way to deal with any mental health problem. 20% of the adults in the US had taken therapy in 2020. However, this number is still not enough, considering therapy and counseling services are inaccessible to many people in the country.
Silicon Valley Marriage Counseling in Palo Alto, California, was founded by Azizeh Rezaiyan. She is a licensed family and marriage therapist who speaks English and Farsi. She is now offering 20-minutes free consultation services to anyone who wishes to seek help.
Her goal behind the free consultation service is simple—making counseling more acceptable and accessible. Dr. Azizeh explained, “I have seen how skeptical people can be when it comes to seeking help for their mental health concerns or relationship problems. When they consult me for free, I want to be able to tell when that whatever their goal is, I am here to help them out throughout. They can assess me and my approach during those 20 minutes to see if they can talk easily and openly with me.”
Dr. Azizeh Rezaiyan uses a direct approach for her counseling services. She asks her clients challenging questions while allowing them a safe space where they can discuss their situation. She offers guidance for marriage and relationship problems to couples struggling to unlearn problematic behaviors. “My main goal is to allow my clients to speak freely and openly. Improved communication is the first step to healing any relationship. Whether they want guidance about their relationship or their own problems, it all starts with unlearning harmful behaviors,” she added.
She also offers counseling services for depression, anxiety, family mediation, and same-sex couples. For more information about her, check out the details given below.
