RELATIONSHIP THERAPY THAT HELPS YOU …
Build Healthier Relationships by Healing Old Unhealthy Patterns.
For years, you may have tried to make relationships work or searched for “the one” by overthinking, people-pleasing, and putting your own needs aside. Yet despite how much effort you give, relationships may still leave you feeling emotionally disconnected, misunderstood, or unseen.
Whether you’re single or in a relationship, therapy can help you recognize the unhealthy patterns keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll gently explore the fears and emotional wounds beneath these patterns, helping you build a stronger sense of self and create more secure, connected, and fulfilling relationships.
You may find yourself constantly questioning how someone feels about you, worrying that you’re “too much” or not enough, or struggling to trust that someone will stay. You may have learned to avoid conflict, hide your needs, or become overly focused on keeping the peace. Perhaps you feel like you’re always giving more than you’re receiving, or you find yourself drawn to relationships that feel familiar but leave you feeling anxious, uncertain, or emotionally exhausted.
These patterns often develop for a reason. They can be connected to earlier experiences, family dynamics, past relationships, or moments when you learned consciously or unconsciously that being accepted meant adapting, staying quiet, or taking care of everyone else. Understanding where these patterns come from can create space for something different.
In therapy, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded and confident in who you are and what you need. You’ll learn to recognize your emotional triggers, communicate your needs more clearly, set boundaries without excessive guilt, and stay connected to yourself even when relationships feel challenging.
Does this sound familiar?
→ You feel lonely or disconnected, even while being in a relationship.
→ You struggle to communicate with your partner without shutting down, getting defensive, or feeling overwhelmed.
→ You keep repeating the same painful relationship patterns and don’t know how to break the cycle.
→You are uncertain whether to leave or stay in the relationship.
→ Tired of potential that never becomes commitment
→ tired of dating, dealing with ghosting, and not finding the right person.
You deserve a therapist who understands how painful and confusing relationships can feel. You don’t have to carry it all alone.
Meet Niki Ghavam, LMFT
Relationship therapist in Orange County, CA
Hi, I’m Niki. I help individuals and couples who struggle with relationships, dating, and anxiety in relationships build healthier, more secure connections.
Whether you’re struggling with dating, relationship anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or unhealthy relationship patterns, therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to pretend everything is okay.
I help clients uncover the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, understand where those patterns come from, and create healthier, more secure relationships without losing themselves in the process.
Together, we explore the beliefs, experiences, and relationship dynamics that may be shaping how you connect with yourself and others. Whether you find yourself overthinking, people pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, fearing rejection, withdrawing when things feel overwhelming, or repeating relationship patterns you wish you could break, our work focuses on understanding the deeper roots rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Therapy is available in both Farsi & English

Relationship Therapy
Sometimes relationship struggles aren’t really about the other person. Often, they come from old emotional wounds, and the ways we learned to feel safe, loved, or connected growing up.

I am currently an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. However, I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. So I encourage you to check with your insurance provider.
Why Work With an Out-of-Network Therapist?
Working with an out-of-network therapist can offer more flexibility and privacy in your care. It allows us to focus on your needs without restrictions from insurance companies, such as limits on the number of sessions or required diagnoses. It also helps keep your personal information more confidential and allows therapy to move at a pace that feels right for you.
