My name is Artin Baghramian, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Atwater Village.

My training has taken me across a wide range of settings: a college campus, a community mental health clinic, an older adult clinic, and a forensic environment.

Working across these contexts has shaped my ability to sit with people from all walks of life, whatever they are carrying.
