Rosa Daneshvar, MS
Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, APCC15625
Previously I worked as a chemical engineer, but I wasn’t satisfied. I couldn’t see the direct impact of my work and I craved the intimacy of working directly with people. So, I became a therapist. I enjoy helping those with trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I have training in EMDR and brainspotting. The impact and power these techniques have in helping a person to heal disturbing memories and experiences fascinates me. I use a client-centered approach, following your lead on goals and what you’d like to explore. I believe in a human’s innate potential to heal.
I’m originally from Iran and bilingual, English and Farsi (Persian). I provide services in either language. My diverse cultural, professional and educational background enables me to relate to others’ varied experiences. As an engineer, I worked in a data centric and analytical world, allowing me to understand those who think and approach issues in this way.
My Approach & Values
I have found that therapy has helped me to not only improve my quality of life, but also helped me to continuously grow and progress in my self-actualization journey. Empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity are the pillars of my approach. Being a therapist is my calling. I can’t wait to work with you.
