In a diverse and globalized world, couples often navigate relationships that span cultures, countries, and traditions. When challenges arise, having a therapist with international insight and cultural awareness can make a meaningful difference.
Azizeh Rezaiyan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly thirty years of experience. What distinguishes her practice is a deep understanding of global identities. Fluent in Farsi and shaped by life across cultures, Azizeh supports clients through a unique lens that embraces difference and complexity.
Her cross-cultural perspective is grounded in lived experience. She has worked extensively with clients from immigrant, multilingual, and multicultural backgrounds. Whether you’re in a bicultural partnership, facing immigration-related stress, or seeking a therapist who understands multiple cultural frameworks, Azizeh provides a safe and respectful environment.
Many relationship challenges are rooted in differing cultural expectations around love, communication, family roles, or emotional expression. Azizeh recognizes how cultural norms and unspoken values influence connection and conflict. Her approach helps clients feel acknowledged, especially those who’ve felt misunderstood in traditional therapy spaces.
For Farsi-speaking clients, she offers sessions in their native language, fostering comfort and deeper communication without the need to translate complex feelings.
Azizeh’s clients often express feeling truly seen—particularly when sharing experiences shaped by migration, diaspora, or identity. Her warm and focused style helps uncover patterns beneath the surface, making space for clarity and growth.
