Psychologist/Author
Dr. Shahrzad Jalali, Psy.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in psychoanalysis, trauma resolution, and relational dynamics. With a comprehensive approach that integrates depth-oriented psychological techniques, existential meaning-making frameworks, and body-based somatic interventions, Dr. Jalali empowers individuals to transcend emotional challenges by aligning their inner beliefs and emotional patterns with their broader life aspirations. Her work moves beyond traditional cognitive methods, emphasizing both the restructuring of thought patterns and the engagement of the body, where trauma is often stored, to achieve a more holistic and profound healing process.
Grounded in Jungian psychology, Dr. Jalali’s expertise in individuation helps clients explore the unconscious through dreams, associations, and symbolic narratives. By facilitating this deep exploration, she assists clients in uncovering hidden aspects of themselves, allowing them to find new meaning in their emotional struggles and pursue personal growth and psychological freedom. Dr. Jalali’s work also incorporates body-centered, sensation-focused techniques, addressing the somatic imprints of trauma to foster both emotional release and physical healing. This integrated approach enables clients to engage with their trauma at a fundamental level, promoting long-lasting transformation.
Drawing from her own personal journey through adversity, Dr. Jalali approaches therapy with deep empathy, recognizing emotional challenges as opportunities for transcendence and empowerment. She guides clients to move beyond mere survival, using their hardships as catalysts for self-realization, resilience, and the reconstruction of their identities.
As an author, with a book set to launch in 2025, Dr. Jalali delves deeper into these themes, offering readers a comprehensive roadmap for reclaiming personal power through trauma and emotional adversity. Her work bridges the mind-body connection and provides practical, real-world strategies for emotional and relational well-being.
As a speaker and podcast guest, Dr. Jalali shares her expertise on trauma, emotion regulation, and psychological self-awareness, making her a compelling voice for audiences seeking to understand and navigate mental health, personal growth, and relational dynamics.
