Hi! My name is Sarit Fassazadeh and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides psychotherapy to individuals with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors, Anxiety, and Depression. I value creating a warm, safe, open, and personalized therapeutic environment.

I utilize various modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Comprehensive Model For Behavioral Treatment (ComB), and Integrated Behavioral Therapy (IBT).

Having a BFRB is hard and can cause a person to feel ashamed, hopeless, and overwhelmed. Please know that you are not alone. Together we can learn practical tools to effectively deal with unhelpful thoughts, urges, and feelings. We can work together to develop self compassion skills that allow you to live authentically. Lastly, we can build the confidence to take the steps needed to live a full, rich, and meaningful life.

I am an experienced clinical counselor and work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples seeking relief from the distress caused by anxiety disorders, OCD, BFRB, post traumatic stress and co-occurring disorders. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy (IRT), and Stress Management strategies to tailor the right approach for your specific situation.
