Do you work with both individuals and couples?

Yes. I provide individual therapy for women and couples therapy for partners who want to strengthen their relationship. If you’re unsure which type of therapy is the best fit, we can talk through it during your free consultation.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. Sessions are available in person in Studio City and online throughout California and Colorado, so you can meet in whatever way fits your life and schedule.

What issues do you help with?

I work with women struggling with relationship anxiety, self-worth, attachment wounds, people-pleasing, emotional regulation, and difficult relationship patterns. I also work with couples experiencing conflict, communication difficulties, disconnection, trust concerns, or recurring cycles they can’t seem to break.

How do I know whether individual or couples therapy makes more sense?

If the primary goal is improving your relationship together, couples therapy is usually the best fit because both partners are part of the change process. If you’re working on your own relationship patterns, self-worth, anxiety, or healing after difficult relationships, individual therapy may be a better place to start. If you’re unsure, we can decide together during a consultation.

How do I get started?

Reach out to schedule a free consultation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, answer your questions, and decide together on the right next step.

Do you accept insurance or private pay?

For individual therapy, I offer private pay sessions at $175 per 50-minute session. For couples therapy, I offer private pay only at $225 per 60-minute session. This allows us to focus fully on the relationship work itself without the restrictions that can sometimes come with insurance-based treatment.

EFT is an evidence-based approach grounded in attachment science. It helps couples understand the emotional patterns underneath their conflict and reshape them, so you can move toward a more secure, connected bond.

ARAMESH AFSHAR, LMFT

A therapist who believes meaningful change begins with feeling understood

I’ve always been genuinely curious about people, what makes us who we are, how we experience the world, and why relationships can bring out so many different sides of us. It’s that curiosity, along with a real appreciation for the complexity of being human, that drew me to this work.

I’m warm, curious, and collaborative, but I’m also direct when I think it can be helpful. I believe there’s room in therapy for meaningful conversations, honest reflection, and even a little humor. Most importantly, I want our work to feel like a genuine connection where you can show up exactly as you are.

Education & Credentials

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University.

My clinical work is informed by extensive training in attachment-based therapy, including:

I continue to pursue advanced training because I believe my clients deserve care that is both compassionate and grounded in approaches supported by research.

My Areas of Focus

I primarily work with:

Women

Women experiencing anxiety, self-worth struggles, attachment wounds, and unhealthy relationship patterns.

Couples

Couples who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, strengthen emotional connection, and move out of recurring cycles of conflict.

What You Can Expect Working With Me

Clients often describe me as warm, collaborative, and direct.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood while also being gently challenged to see yourself and your relationships in new ways. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself so you can make choices that align with the life and relationships you want to create.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or feeling disconnected from yourself, we’ll work together to understand the deeper patterns that keep showing up and create lasting change one step at a time.
