Why work with Mona?
I specialize in helping clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions using evidence-based therapy combined with holistic practices like meditation and movement. My approach focuses on building lasting resilience and creating a life aligned with your values. I am bilingual in both English and Farsi and can provide therapy sessions in either language.

My approach
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change occurs through a collaborative, respectful, and compassionate process. I strive to meet each client where they are, honoring their lived experiences with empathy, curiosity, and cultural humility. Therapy is tailored to each individual and informed by evidence-based practices that support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and long-term resilience.
I integrate evidence-based therapeutic modalities with holistic and somatic-informed practices, including meditation, movement, journaling, and intentional goal setting. This integrative approach supports mind–body connection, nervous system regulation, and deeper emotional processing, helping clients build resilience and create lives aligned with their values.
In addition to my clinical work, I teach yoga and meditation and incorporate somatic awareness when clinically appropriate. Body-based practices can be effective in addressing stress, trauma, and emotional dysregulation by supporting greater awareness of internal states and facilitating safe release of stored tension.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Together, we focus on developing insight, strengthening coping strategies, and cultivating balance, well-being, and sustainable change.
My vision is to create a compassionate and nurturing space that empowers clients to experience meaningful transformation at their own pace, embrace their unique healing journey, and unlock their untapped potential.
I am currently working toward licensure and practice under the supervision of Cait Duncan, LCSW. Her mentorship provides ongoing clinical guidance and ensures that my work adheres to ethical standards and high-quality, evidence-informed care.
About me
I immigrated from Iran to the United States at age 14, an experience that shaped my understanding of resilience, identity, and healing. My personal and professional journey informs my therapeutic approach and deep commitment to supporting individuals through life’s challenges with compassion and cultural humility.
During my graduate training, I worked with refugees and asylum seekers at Lutheran Family Services, where I gained extensive experience supporting individuals navigating displacement, trauma, and major life transitions. I later worked at Denver Health in both Integrated Behavioral Health and the HIV clinic, further strengthening my clinical skills in trauma-informed care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and culturally responsive treatment.
Following graduation, I served as a primary clinician in a substance use disorder treatment program, providing individual and group therapy and facilitating a women’s group. This work deepened my understanding of addiction, vulnerability, and the complex processes of recovery and healing.
I approach therapy with the belief that growth and healing are always possible, even during periods of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It is an honor to walk alongside clients as they build resilience, reconnect with their inner strengths, and create lives that feel grounded, authentic, and meaningful. I offer therapy in both English and Farsi (Persian).
