Child, Adolescent, & Adult
Psychiatry
Good news - you're human if you are struggling, especially now. Perhaps you know the burdens of depression and anxiety, and you're seeking relief. Maybe you're looking for guidance through the challenges of relationships - dating someone new, nurturing a long-term partnership, or even establishing boundaries with family, friends, or coworkers. Sometimes life transitions - the loss of a loved one, the stress of a new job or school, a move to a new city, a traumatic event - can be overwhelming, and you're looking for support and a fresh perspective.
Whatever brings you to Dr. Asbaghi, know that you've already taken a big step towards feeling better. Psychiatric illness and psychological suffering are treatable.
Treatment
Dr. Asbaghi starts to get to know you with an in-depth evaluation which explores an individual's childhood development, life story, relationships, personality, habits, and medical/psychiatric history. He then develops a comprehensive psychiatric formulation which integrates this information and provides a strong foundation for a course of treatment.

Through talk therapy, he helps his patients understand what is causing disruption in their lives and relationships, gives them the tools they need to build a life they want, and supports their flourishing and individual goals throughout the process.
