Please Note
Marjan Emami offers a deeply human and compassionate space for connection and healing. Her approach is rooted in the belief that being seen, heard, and accepted without judgment is essential for lasting change. Marjan’s personal insight into our shared emotional experience allows her to meet clients with warmth and respect, no matter the challenge. In sessions, she helps clients gently explore the roots of their struggles while staying attuned to their readiness and capacity. She has a special interest in working with adults carrying pain from childhood and those seeking deeper inner peace. Marjan invites you to take the first step—because even trying therapy can be a powerful act of healing.
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
- Growing up in a home marked by conflict and emotional distance, which taught me the lasting impact of unstable family dynamics.
- Living with a chronic illness from a young age, giving me insight into the physical and emotional toll of hidden struggles.
- Experiencing the sudden loss of a loved one, which deepened my understanding of grief and life’s unexpected turns.
- Developing a personal understanding of the emotional challenges many people face through my own life experiences.
- Drawing from the Compassionate Inquiry approach to support clients in gently exploring beneath the surface to uncover the root causes of emotional pain.
My cultural or ancestral background is…
- Unless there’s a language barrier — for example, if someone speaks only Farsi — background hasn’t been a deciding factor. In fact, 90–95% of my clients have always been non-Farsi speaking.
My clients describe me using words like…
- safe
- seen
- trustworthy
- non-judgmental
- punctual
- reliable
- dependable
- kind
- generous
- thoughtful
- understanding
- compassionate

Trauma
My clients often self-identify as…
- individuals with anxiety, a history of trauma, family dysfunction, or suicide in the family; those navigating low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or ADHD.
- I primarily work with women (about 80% of my clients) and support a wide age range—from teens (13) to older adults (84).
I’m the right therapist for you if…
- You’re seeking freedom from what weighs you down—if you long for peace, joy, and a deeper, lasting sense of contentment, no matter what life brings.
- You have worked with other therapists, tried different approaches, and still find yourself feeling disconnected or not quite at home in your own skin.

If we work together you can expect to feel...
- Your perspective on life beginning to shift.
- That problems no longer feel like heavy burdens, but challenges you can work through.
- Less inclined to personalize what happens, and more able to relate to your experiences with clarity and freedom.
- That what once felt like “problems” now feel like opportunities to grow, rather than suffering to endure.
- That difficulties are no longer reflections of your worth, but situations you can navigate with strength and awareness.
- Life becoming more filled with joy, as emotional dramas begin to fall away.
- More kind, compassionate, calm, forgiving, and non-judgmental—especially toward yourself.
- A growing ability to meet challenges with resilience, rather than being overtaken by overwhelm.
Populations Served

Psychedelic Therapy
My interest in working with non-ordinary states stems from...
- Research studies on the effects of MDMA, especially:
- Veterans with PTSD
- Individuals with treatment-resistant depression
- People with developmental trauma
- The significant, positive changes observed in individuals following psychedelic-assisted therapy
- Interviews with spiritual seekers who experienced deep personal transformation through psychedelics
- Personal experience witnessing a couple of my own clients undergo life-changing shifts after their psychedelic journeys
