Dr. Afarin Rajaei

Dr. Afarin Rajaei

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Dr. Afarin Rajaei (she/her), a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and purpose. In my 10 years in therapy, my approach has evolved to be warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, drawing from narrative therapy, systemic thinking, and the Gottman Method.

Whether you're coping with anxiety, relationship stress, identity shifts, or life transitions, I provide a space where your experiences are validated and your goals are honored. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strengths, address barriers, and co-create strategies for growth and healing. I work from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens and bring deep experience in supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including immigrants and those navigating intergenerational dynamics.

Clients often tell me they feel seen and understood in our work together—and that therapy with me helps them reconnect with their voice, values, and vision for life. If you’re seeking a therapist who balances insight with actionable change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Ophelia Cofer

Ophelia Cofer

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy is a space where you should feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are. My role is not to tell you what choices to make, but to walk alongside you as you better understand yourself, explore what matters most to you, and find a path that feels right for you.

I value building a genuine connection with my clients and creating a space where you can be open and honest without fear of judgment. Together, we can work through the things that may be weighing on you and develop tools that help you feel more confident in navigating life, relationships, and the challenges that come your way.

I primarily work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, including challenges with family, friendships, and romantic relationships. I have worked with youth and families since 2016 and have provided therapy since 2022. My experience also includes supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence and working in crisis settings, which has shaped my belief in meeting people with compassion, patience, and understanding during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Most importantly, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My hope is to help you feel empowered to make choices that align with your beliefs, values, and the life you want to create.
