Azur Jafari

I am a licensed clinical health psychologist who provides teletherapy to clients in OR and WA. Practicing since 2014, I earned my Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2020 and completed my predoctoral and postdoctoral generalist training in integrated primary care through the National Psychology Training Consortium. I have experience working in partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient care for individuals recovering from eating disorders. My focus is on working with individuals who experience anxiety, eating and body image concerns, are exploring matters related to culture, sexuality, gender and neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, Gifted, 2e), and who are facing family of origin concerns such as, intergenerational trauma, estrangement or disownment. I practice from the perspective of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and incorporate a combination of approaches including DBT, IFS, exposure, and psychedelic preparation and integration. I identify as a neuroqueer, gender-nonconforming second-generation Puerto Rican Iranian. My passions and experiences are rooted in working with adults (18+), LGBTQIA2s+, BIPOC, creatives, neurodivergent people (ADHD/Autism/Gifted/2e), and people living in marginalized bodies.
