Dr. Aidin Tajbakhsh

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Newport Beach, CA


I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where I walk alongside you rather than ahead of you. For nearly a decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, substance use, chronic pain, and life transitions. My background in clinical psychology, along with board certification in biofeedback and neurofeedback, allows me to integrate both psychological and physiological approaches to healing. Most importantly, I deeply respect the uniqueness of your lived experience and strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered.

Therapist

I believe deeply in the power of connection, healing, and human resilience. I’ve spent over 20 years walking alongside children, adults, and families through some of life’s hardest seasons.

What motivates me the most in this work is how meaningful change and healing can occur when a person feels truly seen, supported, and valued. I’ve witnessed incredible strength in the face of hardship. I’m continually inspired by the courage it takes to show up and do the work. It’s sacred work, and I’m grateful every day to be doing it.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and my practice is dedicated to supporting teenage girls (ages 14+) and young women across California. Beyond my clinical background in specialized hospital units, I am someone who values a high-energy, balanced lifestyle. When I’m not in the hospital, you’ll likely find me rock climbing or weightlifting—activities that keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of resilience. I’m also a big sci-fi fan and love to geek out over a great movie or a deep-dive read. As a bilingual provider, I offer services in both English and Spanish, specializing in helping my patients manage ADHD, hormone related emotional mood swings, and binge eating tendencies.
