About Betty
Nourparvar, LCSW

You Deserve to Feel Great. I’m Here to Help.

Welcome, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #92067),
providing psychotherapy to individuals, adolescents and adults.  I use a
holistic approach to give each client a variety of tools to improve their
quality of life. 
I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from The Wurzweiler School of
Social Work and graduated cum laude from UCLA with a bachelor's
degree in Psychology.
I have been practicing in the mental health field for over 16 years and have
acquired formal training in a variety of settings, including community
mental health centers, outpatient psychiatric clinics, Community-Based
Adult Service programs and school settings.
I specialize in trauma and I am certified in both Somatic Experiencing and
EMDR . I have gained the skills to support victims of trauma achieve the most
profound and comprehensive treatment effects possible in the shortest
amount of time. My focus is to help my clients establish a new updated
sense of self through creating a sense of resiliency and transformation.
who I utilize compassion and insight in creating a comprehensive approach
that incorporates the emotional, environmental, and cultural struggles
impacting the lives of my clients. and I integrate evidence-based therapeutic
modalities to fit the needs of my clients, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Psychodynamic Therapy
•  Solution Focused Therapy
• Somatic Experiencing (SE)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Attachment Theory/ Emotionally Focused Therapy
• Mindfulness
• Self- regulation

It is my goal as a therapist to empower and inspire my clients
towards healing by creating a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic
environment.
My hope is that my clients will see a shift in their ability to self
regulate and in their responses to their triggers. You don’t have to
go through life feeling overwhelmed by feelings of loss,
depression, anxiety, shame, and anger. You can change and live
differently. You could live a life of vitality!

Therapy for the Frum Community

Many frum Jews prefer to work with an Orthodox therapist, they feel that
they don’t have to explain why or how they do things differently. As a frum
Jew I am sensitive to halachic and hashkafic issues. Furthermore, I could
support clients who have struggled with different issues within the
community such as the teshuva process (transitioning from secular to
religious), anxiety or OCD symptoms about the mikvah, kashrus, and other
halachic issues, shidduchim, and parenting in the frum world. Having this
understanding has allowed my clients to really feel understood and less
labeled.
