Dr. Sahar Dorani Bizimungu is a second-generation, Iranian-American psychologist in San Francisco, California. She specializes in working with people experiencing mood and/or anxiety symptoms and provides individual, couples, and group therapy for adults. She aims to help people develop insight into what may be contributing to their struggles in an effort to empower others, and to support them in building on their strengths. She is interested in concerns around identity development and exploration. She enjoys working with people from immigrant backgrounds who are navigating multiple intersecting identities, and their impact on their personal and professional lives. She appreciates working with couples experiencing tension between merging their families, or cultural differences that make it difficult to have harmony in the relationship. She values exploring attachment in early childhood as a way of better understanding relational patterns as an adult. Dr. Bizimungu earned her Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, California PSY #28629 in 2015 and she is an adjunct faculty member in the program. More recently, she worked at UC Berkeley providing brief psychotherapy to students in the university’s primary care clinic. She highly values reducing the barriers (and challenging the stigma) around seeking mental health services.
