Dr. Afarin Rajaei

Dr. Afarin Rajaei

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Dr. Afarin Rajaei (she/her), a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and purpose. In my 10 years in therapy, my approach has evolved to be warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, drawing from narrative therapy, systemic thinking, and the Gottman Method.

Whether you're coping with anxiety, relationship stress, identity shifts, or life transitions, I provide a space where your experiences are validated and your goals are honored. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strengths, address barriers, and co-create strategies for growth and healing. I work from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens and bring deep experience in supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including immigrants and those navigating intergenerational dynamics.

Clients often tell me they feel seen and understood in our work together—and that therapy with me helps them reconnect with their voice, values, and vision for life. If you’re seeking a therapist who balances insight with actionable change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Jennifer Ramirez

Jennifer Ramirez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a licensed therapist with a background in supporting adults and teens through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship stress. I earned my graduate degree in counseling and have worked in both community-based and private practice settings, which has helped me understand the real-life pressures people carry—work, family, finances, identity, and burnout.

My style is practical and compassionate: we look at patterns, the stories you’ve learned to live by, and what it would feel like to respond differently—more grounded, more empowered, and more like “you.” I often integrate inner child work, trauma-informed care, and skills for emotional regulation and ADHD/executive functioning.

I primarily work with adults who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create more secure connection.

What I enjoy most about being a clinic Psychologist is helping people better understand themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives.
