I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, in 2000. I've dedicated my professional life to working with individuals, couples and families on understanding what keeps them stuck and then removing the barriers. This process is collaborative and requires a give and take. I take steps to get feedback from the people I work with to help me understand what is helping, and what is not. It is always a privilege to get to know people and develop an understanding of who they are and what makes them choose to act. I am always interested to get to work with people who are similar and different from me. I'm LGBTQIA affirming and value culture, race and gender as critical parts of all of our identities. I strive to be antiracist and work to find my own blind spots. Relationship counseling often leads to understanding vulnerabilities. How do we all manage our fears, our anxieties, our shame and guilt? What place is there in our lives for these aspects of our humanity? Understanding vulnerability with compassion and curiosity is at the heart of psychotherapy. I strive to help clients enhance curiosity and compassion for the most extreme and costly parts of themselves. It seems counter-intuitive, but through this understanding and acceptance, change is possible. I am also dedicated to building the community of helping professionals. I supervise students and professionals and am always excited to meet with other therapists and students to hear about their work and to share my experiences. This community is essential to the longevity of our work. https://www.phoenixclinic.org/nosheen-hydari daily 0.75 2024-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189f6db647e5977381f5f86/72824106-04d0-49c3-ab97-1541c60e168e/N_EDIT.jpg Nosheen Hydari "If we climb high enough, we will reach a height from which tragedy ceases to look tragic." - Irvin D. Yalom As a therapist, I believe in the power of self-awareness in helping people overcome adversity. Trained in Systems Therapy at the Family Institute at Northwestern University, my orientation is to use relationships to help strengthen our understanding of one another, and of ourselves. I work in a way that values the humanistic experience most of all, and strive to learn as much as possible about one's past motivations and ways of coping. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship is the key ingredient in effecting change. I use compassion and acceptance in psychotherapy as tools to help create space for that change. I work with individuals, couples, and families with a variety of constraints including issues with attachment, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, infidelity, divorce, blended families, adoption, grief and loss, phase-of-life, self-development, multiculturalism, and immigration. I am LGBTQIA affirming.

I work to dismantle the harmful effects of systemic inequities in treatment and offer care that reflects a deep cultural understanding. Therapy is a journey, and I am here to walk this road with you. My goal is to empower you to tap into the strength that is already within you, helping you heal and grow into the person you aspire to be. Together, we will navigate this path of healing, one step at a time. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
