    Siuna Esmaili, LCSW, PPSC

    Adult, Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist

    “I strongly believe that one of the key components to thriving socially and emotionally in life is through the relationship we build with ourselves.  I approach therapy as a collaboration, working closely with each patient and their families to uncover underlying barriers impacting behaviors and moods. My treatment is tailored to the specific needs of each patient, but always honing in on my training in Child Parent Psychotherapy, trauma informed modalities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, dyadic therapy, play therapy, family systems, floor time model, and attachment based theories.

    I am interested in working with children and young adults displaying symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and disruptive behaviors.”
