Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I found my sessions with Azadeh Ghafari unhelpful. While she listened attentively, I didn't feel we made progress on my issues. I also experienced moments where I felt @the.wellness.therapist's behavior crossed professional boundaries, which made me uncomfortable during our sessions.

Grateful
Grateful for my therapist Azadeh Ghafari, whose expertise and unwavering support guided me through one of the most challenging periods of my life. In the wake of my mother's passing, I found myself engulfed in grief and battling with persistent depression. It was in Azadeh's individual and group led therapy sessions that I discovered a path to healing.I’ve seen other therapists, but Azadehs approach proved to be transformative in my journey towards healing. One of the most impactful aspects of her therapeutic style is her use of mindfulness exercises and trauma-informed somatic practices. Her ability to listen deeply, offer guidance without judgment, and hold space for my emotions has been invaluable.Thanks to Azadeh's dedicated support and expertise, I have emerged from our therapy sessions with a newfound sense of resilience, self-awareness, and hope for the future. I am grateful for her unwavering commitment to my healing journey and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

Grateful to have my life back
When I started to work with Azadeh Ghafari, I was living through an emotionally abusive relationship and struggling with substance abuse issues, and had a diagnosis of Bipolar. She did something that felt out of the ordinary for me, which was that she didn't judge or pathologize me. She gently reminded me that I wasn't broken and that I could choose to see my sensitivity as a gift. She then introduced me to Qigong and other somatic therapies, and the more time we worked together, the more I was able to really begin seeing myself through a loving and compassionate lens. I feel beyond lucky that I had the chance to work with Azi and I sincerely hope that more people have the chance to work with her too! She is an exceptional listener and an intuitive practitioner. The team thar she works with is second to none. Her support staff is excellent as well. It’s clear she and her colleagues truly care about those they serve.

Azadeh provided a diagnosis that differed from my actual condition and disclosed it on a public platform without obtaining prior consent.

She helped me to transform my life
I owe my transformation and the incredible difference in my life to my therapist, Azadeh Ghafari, who goes by Azi. Three years ago, achieving what I have accomplished now seemed impossible and improbable. Every day, I am inspired to delve deeper, heal, and reach higher because of the values and principles that Azi has instilled in me. I am immensely grateful to her for this. Although I understood these values before, I never fully embraced them due to a lack of faith in myself. I yearned for change, to break free from addictions and live differently, but I was lost on how to achieve this. Azi entered my life and guided me precisely on this path. With unwavering patience, kindness, and compassion, she empowered me to challenge my assumptions and preconceived notions.

She helped to save marriage
My partner and I are from two different cultural backgrounds, which at times brought up issues especially with our in-laws. We had the privilege of seeing Dr. Ghafari for over a year, and I can't express enough how positive our experience was. Dr. Ghafari creates an inviting atmosphere and has always been receptive to open dialogues regarding any concerns we had about our therapeutic journey. This ensured a safe space where our voices were truly heard and acknowledged. One aspect that sets Dr. Ghafari apart is her remarkable ability to perceive and understand our behaviors and habits through the lens of our life experiences. Her intuition and insight are truly remarkable. In addition, she possesses extensive knowledge in her field and a wonderful sense of humor, making every session both enlightening and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ghafari to anyone seeking individual therapy or couples counseling. Her therapeutic style is truly appreciated and effective.

Azadeh Ghafari helped me to save myself
Azadeh Ghafari helped me to save myself from depression. My family immigrated to the United States and my father has struggled with American culture. He placed a lot of expectations on us, some of which were helpful, but others caused us serious harm. I learned so much about forgiving myself and him through my sessions with Azadeh and I am stronger because of it. Her approach to therapy is direct, active, and involved. The treatment she provided me for trauma and depression along with the anxiety I’ve felt for years were directly related to encouraging my personal growth, communication style and interpersonal relationships. I’m grateful to her for helping me to save myself from the depths of depression and loneliness. I finally have the balanced and loving life I’ve always wanted.

Azadeh counseled me during a very difficult year in my personal life. She is attentive, intuitive, compassionate and she listens carefully as layers of grief are exposed. Interactive dialog was imperative to me in counseling. Each week when I returned we would stay on track while moving forward at a pace I was comfortable with. She also suggested additional resources and tools to assist me in the difficult journey of recovery and healing. I highly recommend Azadeh’s counseling expertise and qualifications.

I have been seeing Azadeh Ghafari for help with stress, anxiety, and both personal and career concerns. She is one of the best therapist I’ve ever come across. She has taught me how to use simple techniques to manage my anxiety, self doubt, and panic attacks. She has also helped me to think outside of the box and makes me feel completely comfortable. She is easy to talk to, non-judgmental, funny, attentive, creative, compassionate, patient, and insightful. I’ve had bad experiences with therapists in the past and thought that I would never try again but I am so glad that I did because Azadeh has proved me wrong. My struggles with anxiety and indecisiveness has tremendously improved beyond belief. Every area of my life has been enriched and I am happier than I have been in years. I’d highly recommend her any day to get a handle on your life.
