Stronger Together

Meet Reihaneh Mahdavishahri Associate Marriage and Family Therapist Reihaneh holds an Honors B.A. in Psychology from York University. She also holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. She is currently completing her Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy at Alliant International University.... Her educational and professional background in the field of Psychology has helped her gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which our wellbeing is influenced by a delicate interaction between our physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing and our inner drive to balance these integral parts of ourselves. Reihaneh understands the important role effective therapy plays in helping individuals achieve this balance in a safe therapeutic environment. As a systemic therapist, Reihaneh hopes to provide a healing space for individuals, couples, and families to effectively discuss, identify and resolve their conflicts and recover from emotional pain while fostering stronger and healthier relationships. As someone who has passionately advocated for mental health awareness, support, and access, Reihaneh has adopted a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and gender-responsive lens in her work. She understands both personally and professionally, the importance of providing a safe, welcoming, and healing therapeutic space for families from diverse backgrounds to overcome their struggles and cultivate their inner strengths and resilience. Healing can be a beautiful journey, not just a destination.

Meet AMBER STACKS: Associate Marriage and Family Therapist Navigating life stressors can feel intimidating to do alone, I'm glad you're here. From a young age, I've had a passion for helping others. From the moment I experienced a personal therapeutic transformation, I knew I wanted to guide others in the same way. I am a trauma-informed therapist, trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and often use AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) techniques. I'v...e found these work beautifully together to guide the client's awareness of where they get stuck. My goal as a therapist is to meet you (and your family) where you are in order to navigate you towards growth and healing. My credentials include a Bachelor's Degree in Child and Family Development from San Diego State University and a Master's Degree in Couple and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and guiding you to a more connected, authentic relationship with yourself and others

Meet The Team! Ann-Marie Avanni As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in San Diego, I work with clients locally and across California via Telehealth Video Sessions. My education, training, professional experience, and a boatload of life experience helps me work with people who want to alleviate distress, heal, and move forward. I have worked collaboratively with clients on issues including: - Trauma and PTSD... - Anxiety - Adoption Related Issues - Childhood Trauma - Disturbing Memories - Divorce Related Issues - Depression - Emotional Abuse - Grief and Loss - Military Life Issues - Relationship Issues - Self Esteem Issues - Sexual Trauma - Stress - Life Transitions - Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Painful Events - Physical Abuse My understanding of how we heal is guided by the theoretical frameworks of EMDR and EFT therapies. EMDR helps us address trauma and related symptoms by safely and methodically accessing associated images, thoughts, emotions and sensations so the brain can move toward adaptive resolution. EFT is the framework I use to help couples and families change interactional patterns and form new bonds. I have also seen the two therapies work well together. Your story, circumstances, and intended outcome will guide the approach that we take.
