Gulzar Firashta, MA, RP, RSSW, is a dedicated and compassionate therapist, registered as both a Psychotherapist and Social Service Worker. She specializes in working with individuals and couples, guiding them through personal growth and helping them strengthen intimate relationships. With over a decade of experience, Gulzar supports clients using evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and The Gottman Method (Level 2) for couples. These methods help uncover emotional patterns and behaviors, allowing couples to move from cycles of blame and resentment toward appreciation, connection, and love. EFT enables couples to resolve conflicts and break negative patterns, while The Gottman Method focuses on improving trust, empathy, and communication.

In addition to her work with couples, Gulzar has extensive experience assisting youth with behavioral issues and individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and sleep disorders. She integrates a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy, offering a holistic, client-centered approach to foster personal growth and well-being.

Gulzar is particularly committed to supporting refugees and individuals who have faced war, persecution, and displacement. Her work is grounded in cultural sensitivity, addressing the unique challenges refugees face, such as language barriers, separation from family, and uncertainty about the future. Fluent in Gujarati, Hindi, Urdu, and English, she tailors her interventions to meet the diverse needs of her clients, ensuring they feel understood and supported in their healing journeys.

As a therapist, Gulzar creates a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. Her approach blends care with a goal-oriented style, always focusing on clients’ strengths and helping them navigate life’s challenges toward a path of personal success.
