Psychotherapy & Counseling

Psychotherapy (talk therapy) is a collaborative process designed to help you address emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. As a dual board-certified physician, Dr. Amin integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored precisely to your condition, diagnosis, and goals of care.

A highly individualized approach selected in close consultation with the therapist, considering your unique stress tolerance and trauma history.

What to Expect in Psychotherapy

  • Strict Confidentiality

    Your sessions are entirely confidential. Nothing discussed is disclosed without your explicit permission (except in rare safety/legal cases).

    Expect a deeply supportive environment where you can express yourself completely without fear of judgment.

  • Clear Goal Setting

    Especially in modalities like CBT, we will establish specific, measurable goals and track your progress over time.
