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.

Some things you've been carrying for so long they've started to feel like part of who you are. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults who are navigating trauma, grief, loss, and the weight of experiences that don't just go away on their own. People of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, socioeconomic situations, gender expressions, and sexual orientations find a real home in my practice, including folks within the LGBTQIA+ community. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard in a way they haven't before.

Some seasons of life ask more of you than you ever expected, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself. I work with teens, parents, and adults who are moving through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the heavy stretches that come with big life transitions. I care deeply about supporting LGBTQIA+ and transgender clients, and families who want to understand and show up for one another a little better. So much of this work is simply remembering that you do not have to carry any of it alone.
