Hi, I’m Ariga Aghajanian, MA, LMFT (License #155100). I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Cal Poly Pomona and my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University.
I am a compassionate, empathic therapist who believes healing begins in a safe, supportive space where you feel truly seen and understood.
As a first-generation graduate and immigrant who has lived on three different continents, I bring cultural awareness, curiosity, and lived wisdom into my work. I walk alongside clients as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
Together, we create space to slow down, process openly, explore new perspectives, and begin meaningful, lasting change.
I work with teens and adults, tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs and experiences. My approach is warm, compassionate, and supportive, while also being honest and direct to help create meaningful and lasting change.
I use an integrative approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic, Attachment-Based, and Client-Centered therapies. This allows us to address current challenges while also exploring deeper patterns, relationships, and beliefs that may be shaping your experiences.
As a first-generation graduate and immigrant who has lived across three continents, I bring cultural awareness and sensitivity into my work. I welcome conversations about culture, identity, and intergenerational experiences in a respectful, affirming space.
I am trained in Christian counseling and am happy to integrate faith into our work upon request. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in feeling understood, empowered, and supported throughout your healing journey.
