Oakland,  CA  94612 Hi, I'm Marcus. I grew up in the Bay Area, I'm second-generation Persian American, and I run a virtual therapy practice from Oakland. Most of the people I work with are busy, capable adults, often in tech, healthcare, or finance, who are dealing with burnout, anxiety, depression, or something from the past that keeps showing up. I also have a focus on men's therapy, including men who have never tried it and aren't sure what to expect. In session I'm direct and conversational. I use EMDR to work through experiences that still feel stuck, IFS to understand the different parts of you, and CBT for practical tools you can use between sessions. I'll tell you what I'm noticing, and I'll explain what we're doing and why. If you're not sure I'm the right fit, you can book a free 15-minute consultation. You don't need a clear plan, just a sense of what you'd like to change. English
