Introduction: I use a combination of tools including psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, NLP, muscle-testing, spiritual counseling to create successful results. What makes me different is that I teach my clients in sessions, and in classes/workshops focused on Stop-Self Sabotaging, Self-Growth, and in Attracting abundance, love, and happiness how to maintain the positive changes on their own. We at Forward Life have created customized hypnotic processes than people can listen to in order to enhance the changes in areas of overcoming procrastination, increasing self-esteem, success, weight loss, attracting abundance, performance anxiety and more! Clients that cannot personally come to see us, can benefit from individual Skype sessions. We are now planning to be able to teach our classes and workshops online. People can connect with us via social media networks all over, and we have resources and connections to refer people to that can benefit clients more, and or as supplemental to our services. We are interested in clients that want to change, and are willing to do the work, from there we will provide them tools and resources to make sure they will succeed. Mahastee Mehdizadeh, MFT., CHt. I love to see people feel successful. It is wonderful to see my clients see their own progress in handling situations, in being more healthy, in feeling comfortable and confident being themselves. I give my clients tools to use on their own, and it is wonderful to see them basically not need me anymore, and go forward in helping others.

Mahastee was great. I loved her sessions. Unfortunately I couldn't continue for very long, but I think she really helped me, and I'd definitely go back to her.

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I grew up wanting to get my family's approval. I am a first generation Iranian-American who grew up here with a very traditional father. I grew up having ADD, and a very strict upbringing not allowing me to do anything outside of studying. Not liking to study, and having difficulty fitting in with friends I managed as much as I could to get into UCLA as a pre-dental student, and a psychology major. My family wanted me to be a medical doctor, and to get married via arranged marriage. The only other profession that was acceptable for me was dentistry but I was to live at home until I got into dental school. I did not enjoy dentistry, and although I did everything I could, take the required classes, study & take the DAT test, do the internship, I secretly wanted to be a psychotherapist. So I took additional classes, and I also had created a secret life of my own to allow myself to spiritual survive. When my father found out I had a boyfriend that I was hiding for 4 years at the age 25, and decided to disown me, I realized that all the years of pain I was going through of having to please, and going against what I wanted was meaningless, and I was still completely rejected. I went through an existential crisis, and struggled to find meaning in my life to continue. At that time I had found out I got into dental school, thinking about it made me realize that if I were to go forward on that path, I would lose myself completely. So, I quickly applied to CSUN for the Marriage and Family Therapy program, said no to dental school and went towards my passion without looking back. I got into the program to heal myself, and in return to help people going through identity issues/existential crisis, and/or are feeling lost, depressed to gain a strong sense of self, set healthy boundaries, to find their purpose in life, and pursue it successfully! I feel very happy, successful and fulfilled, now having a positive relationship with family, but on my terms. :) Mahastee Mehdizadeh, MFT., CHt.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I help people overcome specific fears, panic attacks, and anxiety. I have worked with overcoming the fear of flying and driving within one session. I have also helped neutralize triggers and cravings with foods, in certain situations, and or people within 15 minutes through Neuro-Linguistics techniques.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I am looking for people that are open to change, taking responsibility, and wanting growth. I focus on working with the mind and spirit, through changing behaviors, and helping people gain control of their emotions and thoughts. Providing a safe environment for my clients is very important to me, and I respect boundaries, and help people create them successfully.
