I believe that understanding yourself is the first step toward creating meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, autism, and the unique challenges that can come with neurodivergence.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. As a woman diagnosed with ADHD at age 30, I understand firsthand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to navigate life with an ADHD brain—especially when your experiences weren’t recognized or understood earlier in life. I’m particularly passionate about supporting women and adults who are newly diagnosed and are beginning to make sense of themselves through a new lens. I also understand the complexities of parenting neurodivergent children while navigating your own neurodivergence.

I have extensive experience helping clients develop practical executive functioning skills, behavioral strategies, and systems to improve organization, time management, follow-through, and daily functioning. My goal is not to make you fit into a system that wasn’t designed for you, but to help you build strategies that work with the way your brain works.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I help Gen Zers and Millennials to manage the overwhelming anxiety and stress that the fast-paced world of today causes. Whether the ever-evolving world is making it difficult for you to navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, parenthood, work pressures, romantic partnerships, emotional trauma, or interpersonal relationships, I am prepared to aid in rebuilding your confidence and developing a powerful toolkit for combatting mental health blocks.

As a proud Mexican woman, it’s important to me to provide a space for marginalized groups to feel understood and validated. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply passionate about supporting the queer community with compassion and empathy. I am also sex-positive and have helped many of my clients overcome barriers and concerns regarding sex and physical intimacy.

I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy in 2016. I began seeing clients in 2014, and in the years since, I have worked in substance abuse programs, behavioral health hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and numerous group practices. Today, I enjoy managing my own practice and seeing my clients thrive as they tackle treatment goals. I am located in Los Angeles and am exclusively offering virtual therapy at this time, making it convenient for you to meet for your sessions in the comfort of your chosen space.

I'm Roz Hedayatian, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles. I work with adults who are navigating relational pain, anxiety, and life transitions. My clients tend to be self-aware, curious about themselves, and ready to go deeper than managing symptoms. If you've ever felt like you understand your patterns but can't seem to change them, that's exactly the kind of thing we'd explore together.
