In today’s interconnected world, love doesn’t always follow the same path. Relationships often bridge cultures, languages, and borders. And when those relationships hit challenging seasons—as all do—having a therapist who understands life beyond one cultural framework can be profoundly helpful.
Azizeh Rezaiyan brings more than two decades of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist. But what truly sets her apart is the life she has lived beyond borders. Raised speaking Farsi and shaped by a rich cross-cultural life, Azizeh’s background is anything but typical—and that’s exactly what many couples need.
Her global experience—from living abroad to working with clients from a range of ethnic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds—brings a depth of insight into her practice that can’t be taught in a classroom. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of a cross-cultural relationship, dealing with immigration-related stressors, or simply seeking a therapist who understands layered identities, Azizeh offers a safe and inclusive space.
Relationships are often shaped by unspoken cultural expectations—about communication, roles, boundaries, even the meaning of love and commitment. Azizeh’s sensitivity to these nuances helps clients feel seen and respected, particularly those who have felt out of place in more conventional therapy settings.
Her ability to speak Farsi offers native speakers the comfort of expressing themselves fully without translation, and allows her to connect deeply with first-generation and immigrant clients in their own language.
Clients often say they feel an immediate sense of understanding in sessions with Azizeh—especially when sharing stories that cross continents or straddle cultural lines. Her style is direct yet compassionate. She doesn’t just listen; she listens between the lines—to the inherited stories, the internalized expectations, and the quiet resilience that so often go unnoticed.
Whether you were born in another country, raised in multiple cultures, or simply want a therapist with a broader worldview, Azizeh’s approach honors your story. Her work is rooted in the belief that love is universal—but its expressions are shaped by culture, history, and personal experience.
As she often says:
“We all carry stories from where we’ve come—some inherited, some chosen. Therapy is the place where we begin to hear our own voice within them.”

Whether you’re a cross-cultural couple, a Farsi-speaking client, or simply someone looking for thoughtful guidance, Azizeh welcomes you to bring your full self to the conversation.
