Payam Kharazi

Attachment patterns, emotional bond that connects one person to another, are oftentimes at the core of many psychological difficulties. I have extensive training and experience in psychotherapy approaches that focus on attachment in the therapeutic process, such as Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT).

I specialize in Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), an integrative form of psychotherapy that uses aspects of psychodynamic theory, CBT and other schools of thought, as related to psychology. Mentalization is the ability to interpret and understand the mental state of oneself or others underlying overt behavior. Goals of MBT include helping people increase mentalization capacity, which improves emotional regulation and strengthens interpersonal relationships.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an exploratory and insight-oriented form of therapy, which focuses on the role of unconscious processes as they are manifested in a person’s present behaviors. Goals of this therapy include working through unresolved conflict by gaining new understanding and by developing new healthier behavioral patterns. Dr. Kharazi will integrate psychodynamic psychotherapy into treatment after a consultation to determine the most effective way to treat each person.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of structured psychotherapy that’s backed by studies showing its effectiveness for treating many psychological disorders. Dr. Payam Kharazi has extensive experience using several types of CBT to create individualized therapy that meets each person’s unique goals.
