Rozheen Barekatein (she/hers), ACSW #123348

ADULT THERAPIST

Hi, I’m Rozheen Barekatein (she/her). I’m an Iranian-American therapist and daughter of immigrants who understands what it’s like to grow up between many cultures. My lived experiences navigating identity, belonging, sexuality, and culture deeply shape the way I show up as a therapist. I aim to bring warmth, curiosity, and genuine care to the work we do together

I specialize in supporting daughters of immigrants, QTBIPOC, and multicultural folks. Holding multiple cultural expectations can sometimes feel like standing in different worlds at once. My hope is to offer a safe place to explore your identity and honor where you come from while also making space for who you’re becoming. My approach incorporates elements of ACT, CBT, motivational Interviewing, art, mindfulness and somatic based healing. I use these frameworks flexibly, centering your lived experience and whatever feels most supportive in the moment. Whether we’re talking about family boundaries, identity, values, anxiety, or fear, I’ll meet you where you are with intention.

I strive to honor cultural identity, maintain political awareness, and actively push back against systemic injustice. I am deeply committed to continuing my own unlearning of the colonial and oppressive systems that have shaped our stories. 

Outside of therapy, I find grounding in time spent with my community, working on pieces at my pottery studio, laughing until my belly hurts, and cooking comforting meals that remind me of home.

If any of this resonates for you, you can reach out to schedule a free 20-30 minute consultation call to see if we would be a good fit!
