I scheduled my first session with Mazda Lakpour because my anxiety had flared up and I was having trouble focusing on work and home life. I requested a therapist who is direct and action oriented, and after our session he sent me a worksheet on mindfulness to help me in moments when I started to spiral into anxiety.

Mazda is the first therapist that I have ever seen in my life. I was really surprised at how comfortable I was with him the first time that we met ! I’ve been going through marriage troubles and battling personal issues for a long time now and I always thought I had it under control. I lost the key to my toolbox for a while and things got out of control for me. Mazda has helped me find my key and realize that I don’t have to be so hard on myself when things happen. I’m definitely a work in progress but I’m extremely grateful for the knowledge and wisdom that Mazda has shared with me! I look forward to our sessions!
