Roxanne Shakoori

My communication style

In communicating with my clients, I prioritize active listening, warmth, and empathy. Whether it involves asking relevant questions, guiding the practice of coping strategies, or holding silence when it's needed, my communication is always grounded in collaboration and respect.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my journey toward becoming a therapist many years ago, having learned first-hand about the importance of having a space characterized by respect, non-judgment, and freedom of expression. I love being able to meet with clients from all walks of life and share with them what I have learned over the years about coping with life's challenges.

My goals for you

As the saying goes, if you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there. This is why I work with my clients to set goals that are specific, relevant to their values, and reachable. And because therapy only accounts for one hour per week, I also work with my clients to plan ways of moving toward their goals in between sessions.

Our first session

The first session will focus on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. This includes understanding the main issues you wish to focus on, ways of communicating that are most helpful for you, and learning about your experience in therapy, if you have had any. At the end, you'll have a clear understanding of what to expect!
