Syed Mehdi
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
I'm a compassionate therapist who believes in the transformative power of healing through a holistic approach. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth
I've had a spiritual near-death experience, lost my loving mother to Cancer, immigrated as a child, lived under an oppressive regime in the Middle East as a minority, and experienced complex family dynamics and through it all still believe that we are all meant to shine our light in this world. You may be reading this while at your lowest point in life but don't worry, I'm here to guide you back to your true self ("Remember Who You Are"). I'm a compassionate therapist who believes in the transformative power of healing through a holistic approach. With a deep understanding of the mind-body-spirit connection, I will successfully guide you through your journey of inner peace, emotional well-being, and personal growth. I provide a safe & nurturing space where you can explore your inner child and develop a sense of inner peace. By cultivating mindfulness and awareness, you'll learn to observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, gaining a greater understanding of your patterns and triggers. My name means "Light" so my greatest gift to you is us shedding a 'light' on your problems and finding compassionate solutions to help you overcome all your challenges in life by healing your inner child and fostering a greater sense of inner peace.
