About Tina Javidi

Who I tend to work well with

I often work with adults who think deeply, notice a lot, and still get pulled into familiar patterns. Some appear capable or composed while feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or uncertain internally.

People come for anxiety and overthinking, burnout, relationship and attachment patterns, life transitions, identity and self-worth concerns, ADHD and neurodivergent experiences (including masking and overwhelm), and lower-acuity trauma-related material that shows up in present-day reactions.

This tends to fit adults who want to understand what keeps repeating and are willing to experiment with responding differently. Curiosity helps. So does saying when something does not land.

What I pay attention to

I pay attention to more than the facts of a story. I may notice pauses, shifts in tone, self-correction, intellectualizing, avoidance, or the moment you start focusing on another person’s reaction instead of your own experience.

I may slow the conversation when something important is being passed over. I am willing to name patterns and contradictions carefully and directly — so we can check them together, not because I claim to know you better than you know yourself.

What therapy with me may feel like

Sessions are conversational. Feeling understood matters, and so does building more choice in how you respond. The work may include reflection, discomfort, experimentation, and practicing something different between sessions.

You can bring disagreement, uncertainty, irritation, or ambivalence into the room. We can be honest about what is difficult without treating you as fragile. You decide what matters enough to work on, and you keep agency over pace, focus, and decisions.

How I work

My work is relational and integrative. In practice that means paying attention to recurring relationship patterns; noticing how earlier experiences shape present reactions; tracking bodily responses and emotional shifts; identifying thought and behavior loops; and making room for conflicting needs or internal parts when that is useful.

The orientation is person-centered and psychodynamic, and it is also mindfulness-informed, somatic, CBT-informed, and parts-informed as needed — neurodiversity-affirming and culturally responsive rather than forcing one method onto every client. Insight matters. So does what changes outside the session.

A little outside the room

I value directness, curiosity, humor, and depth. Outside of work I enjoy hiking, beach days, Pilates, making music, road trips, game nights, and good food. I understand Farsi and work in English.

Who may need a different type or level of care

I do not provide crisis or emergency services, formal psychological testing, or autism/ADHD diagnostic evaluations. If you need a higher level of care, specialized assessment, or support outside outpatient telehealth, we can talk about referrals.

If you are in crisis or need immediate help, call or text 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. See also crisis resources.
