I'm a licensed, English and Farsi speaking therapist with a proven track record of over two decades in helping individuals, couples and families seek and receive emotional help and closure. I was enough self-aware to know that my anxiety was forcing me to ruin my relationship. Thankfully I have a wonderful boyfriend who knows that as well.
He took me to Azizeh who understood in the first ten minutes of our session what I was going through. I'm still trying to become better and there are some dark days. But Azizeh is helping me through. I could not be more grateful. If you are looking for a marriage and family therapist in Palo Alto, you have come to the right place.

Whether your goal is to find a new sense of value in your motives and abilities; or to use couples therapy to improve communication between yourself and your spouse, I can help start the healing process. I use a direct approach to therapy, by asking challenging questions in a safe environment to help you see your situation from new perspectives.
My name is Azizeh Rezaiyan. I have worked as a therapist for over 20 years. My work is primarily with couples, however, I also do a great deal of work with individuals and families. I know that for most people, making the decision to see a therapist isn't an easy one. I hope to make it easier for you to take the first step on your journey towards achieving your personal goals.
I am dedicated to providing the very best care and support to my clients. And since, like many professionals within my field, I am not a part of an insurance network, I try to keep my fees as low as possible. My fees are a reflection of my dedication to you, and below the local average. It is still possible that your insurance reimburses for out-of-network psychotherapy.
Nearly one million marriages end in divorce every year, but only five percent of these couples seek couples counseling. The causes of divorce range from stressful life events like having children or coping with infidelity to simple misunderstandings or personal struggles. Negative patterns and ineffective communication can develop, clouding you and your partner's judgment.
In the high tech world of the Silicon Valley, it's natural to see married couples from different cultural backgrounds and countries that meet at work or social settings, specifically in Bay area, where the population is very much diverse. While the rise in cross-cultural relationships and marriages shows that we're becoming more accepting of diversity, a cross-cultural couple may have to work extra hard to make their marriage work.

As our business fell apart during the pandemic, and our financial situation took a toll on our relationship, it became harder for us to save our marriage. Our friend introduced us to Azizeh's services that helped us realize where we stand as a couple, and view our relationship with a fresh perspective. All of this was made possible due to Azizeh's timely assistance, and we couldn't have been more thankful for that.

I could notice the signs of depression in my spouse. However, he was adamant about not consulting a therapist. Thank you, Azizeh, for speaking on the phone with him and helping him understand how seeking professional help can alter his life for the better.Since we began our therapy about 3 months ago, our relationship is more peaceful and our young daughter seems happier these days.

DON'T waste your time going to see her. After seeing her for just two sessions, she dropped us as patients without even having a conversation and simply stopped answering our messages.
She charged us $800 for two very useless sessions and everything went downhill when I asked for an invoice to submit to our insurance. Instead, she sent us a template form requesting that we fill it with whatever we want and send it to insurance. When I said we didn't feel comfortable writing invoices on her behalf, she got aggressive and ultimately stopped responding.
About the two sessions: Her tone is more lecture

My husband and I turned to Azizeh for help at a difficult time. I had an affair behind my husband’s back and he found out. I had no feelings for the other man, and it was just a moment of weakness, but what I did nearly ruined my marriage. Talking to Azizeh was the first time that I didn’t feel judged. She helped me realize the reasons for what I did, even though I didn’t wanna face them at first. My husband would’ve left me, but I thank God every day that he decided to give us another chance. Thank you, Azizeh!

People don’t realize that getting therapy for anxiety and depression aren’t always romanticized notions. It’s a lot of bitter truths, acceptance, growing pains that isn’t always linear. Fortunately for me, my struggle with mental health has been rewarding, sincere, heartfelt and more with the help of Azizeh. I am grateful for choosing myself by going to therapy and I would urge everyone who wants to start to go to Azizeh first.

My daughter was going through severe anxiety and panic attacks for a full month. It got to a point where we had to hospitalize her a few times. Azizeh Rezaiyan was recommended to us by our family doctor; safe to say it was a good suggestion. My daughter finds her to be very easy to talk to and has begun to control her anxiety far better than she could before.

I want to thank Azizeh for the all the positivity she introduced in our lives. My wife and I had been dealing with misunderstandings for months before we decided to approach, and from day one, she made it easy to express the emotions I had been bottling in. I feel like I owe her everything for restarting our lives and making it happier than it was!

My wife cheated on me about two years ago and I was pretty much destroyed after we divorced. On a whim, I came to Azizeh with my trust issues and troubles. I can’t believe how much I was blaming myself for my wife’s infidelity, even though it was her fault. I’ve become more accepting and happier with myself now. I’m still not as comfortable with relationships but I have started dating, all thanks to Azizeh!

My partner and I learned to look beyond family and societal expectation and more into what it was we needed out of each other as a couple. We’re glad we did that as it kind of feels like getting a second shot at our relationship, this time, without the weight and stress of what we once deemed relevant!

We would like to take a moment to thank Azizeh for the incredible help and support she provided us in our tough time. We had just lost a child and were both in despair. Her kindness and words of wisdom not only helped us deal better with our relationship issues; they also allowed us to cope better with the loss”.

I studied psychology and have worked with many therapist through years. I even had a therapist who dozed off during the session! Therefore I've been encouraged to write the review for Azizeh. Her affection, genuine willingness to help her clients, and her patience are extraordinary. It only took my husband and I short few sessions with Azizeh to be back on the saddle this time. Azizeh is truly a gem.
