About

OUR STORY

Sepideh Saedi is the founder and creator of Sepideh Psychotherapy. Sepideh’s approach to working with clients is derived from her belief in human potential and their aspirations to live a fulfilling life.

At Sepideh Psychotherapy, Sepideh employs a variety of experiential techniques designed to facilitate self-discovery and personal growth. Through a gentle yet intentional process, clients explore the depths of their inner selves, uncovering core beliefs, values, and aspirations. Together, client and psychotherapist identify and examine old patterns of thinking and behaving that may be limiting their potential for fulfillment and joy. As they embark on their journey towards greater authenticity and self-empowerment, clients learn to cultivate joy and meaning in each moment, embracing life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and renewal.

“Life encompasses more than observable behaviors and reactions; there’s an intricate tapestry of subjective experiences, emotions, and perceptions that shape our reality and understanding of the world”

– Sepideh Saedi
