Dezireh Jamshidarsani, LCSW Therapist & Intern Coordinator
Hi, I'm Dezireh!
Therapy is a space where meaningful change becomes possible when there is safety, collaboration, and a strong working relationship between client and therapist. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to identify what you need most and build a plan that aligns with your goals. As growth happens, that plan evolves with you.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP I/II) and an integrative therapist, meaning I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches and tailor treatment to each individual rather than relying on a single model. My work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Shame-Informed Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), along with goal-setting, skill-building, and resilience-focused work. I use these approaches flexibly to support emotional regulation, insight, and practical change in daily life. I work with teens, adults, and families who are navigating challenges in relationships at home, at work, or within their broader communities. Together, we focus on building coping strategies, improving communication, strengthening emotional awareness, and supporting long-term growth in ways that feel realistic and sustainable. I have had the privilege of working across a variety of settings, including day treatment, residential treatment, and outpatient care. This experience has shaped a flexible and well-rounded clinical approach, grounded in the belief that effective therapy must adapt to the needs of each person rather than a one-size-fits-all framework. In addition to my clinical work, I provide supervision for individuals pursuing their Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credentials in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Supervision is offered as a collaborative and reflective space where we focus on developing clinical skills, strengthening professional confidence, and supporting steady progress toward licensure. Whether in therapy or supervision, my commitment is to meet you where you are and support you in moving toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. I am currently offering both in person and telehealth options.
