About Dr. Jazi

Dr. Jazi is a board-certified psychiatrist with advanced training in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). His work focuses on helping individuals achieve meaningful and lasting change by addressing the underlying emotional processes that contribute to ongoing emotional, psychological, and stress-related physical symptoms.

He completed his psychiatry residency at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and pursued additional fellowship training in Geriatric Psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His background in neuroscience and clinical psychiatry allows him to approach mental health conditions with both scientific understanding and psychological depth.

Dr. Jazi works with individuals who are often high-functioning but feel stuck, as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive patterns, trauma-related difficulties, and persistent emotional or physical symptoms that have not improved with prior treatment.

Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, his approach emphasizes identifying and resolving the internal emotional patterns that drive these difficulties. This allows for a more direct and effective path toward change.

Treatment is typically conducted in 45–60 minute sessions, allowing sufficient time for in-depth therapeutic work. When appropriate, medication management can be thoughtfully integrated into treatment.

Dr. Jazi provides services in both English and Farsi and works with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds.

A More In-Depth Approach to Healing

Many people seek help after trying therapy or medication without achieving the level of change they were hoping for. In these situations, a more focused and in-depth approach is often needed.

Dr. Jazi’s practice is centered on Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an evidence-based approach that works directly with underlying emotional processes contributing to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related physical symptoms.

Rather than brief, symptom-focused visits, treatment is typically conducted in 45–60 minute sessions, allowing for a more thorough and effective therapeutic process.

Care may include psychotherapy alone or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, depending on individual needs.

Both in-person and secure telehealth visits are available.
