- childhood sexual and physical abuse
- sexual assault survivors
- war trauma

She brings deep respect for the complexity of the human psyche to her work with every patient.
Approach
Dr. Khodaparast draws on multiple therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, Jungian therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to help patients recognize the unconscious patterns shaping their decisions and move past behaviors that no longer serve them.
She is fluent in English and Farsi and provides treatment in both languages. Her goal is to help each patient gain insight into their own psychology, find meaning in their lives, and strengthen their relationships with themselves and others.
