All is welcome in the non-judgmental, embracing space that she holds.

Her insights are not calculated, but based on lived experience and true wisdom. I cannot recommend her highly enough to those in need of navigating the challenges of life.”

Dr. Lotfalian is very progressive, and will only push you as far as you are comfortable, sometimes purposely slowing you down if you get ahead of yourself. She literally saved my life, and gave me the tools to live a normal life.

If you are lost and don't know where to turn, give her a try, it might just save your life.”

“I started therapy with Dr. L during COVID-19, at time that was most challenging for me in many ways, from the loss of a parent to having to face past traumas that were buried deep within. I had tried therapy with with several other therapists and had not been impressed with the results or with them, as practitioners. However, now almost seven months of regular sessions with Dr. L., I can say she has made me a believer in the possibility that one can make significant life changes—for the better—with the right therapist. Dr. L. Is first and foremost gentle and empathetic. She has helped me reframe my thinking and behavior towards life stressors, triggers, and curve balls. With the right tools and guidance from her, and stepping in with the best mindset, I have evolved into the best version of myself and have transformed my life for the better. I can’t thank her enough.”

I would highly recommend her and am thankful for her guidance.”

She is extremely empathetic, and I can tell she genuinely listens to what I have to say.
