About Roxanne

Roxanne Parsa is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and parenting challenges. She also supports those navigating life purpose, addiction concerns, and issues related to narcissism. Roxanne speaks English and Persian and practices in California. Roxanne brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on building understanding of how past relationships and family patterns affect current life. Sessions often include exploring attachment patterns and communication habits to make day-to-day interactions easier. Her approach blends mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking, and somatic methods to address both thoughts and body-based reactions. Mindfulness practice can help people calm intense emotions. Somatic work helps people notice how stress shows up in the body. Psychodynamic ideas are used to trace repeated relationship patterns back to earlier life experiences. Roxanne has also worked with people involved in kink and alternative sex cultures, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements. She supports those dealing with infidelity, jealousy, codependency, and family-of-origin wounds while helping clients find clearer boundaries and goals. Starting therapy with Roxanne begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location and availability. Prospective clients are invited to choose the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

Approaches for relationships, trauma, and the body

Roxanne uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, anger, and emotional reactivity in relationships.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to identify repeated relationship patterns and family-of-origin influences. This approach helps uncover why certain behaviors keep happening and opens a path to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roxanne will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the issues they bring. The plan can shift as needs change over time.
