Rowna Showghi, LCSW
About me
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing Psychotherapy & Coaching Services. I have worked as a Mental Health Professional for the past 18 years. I have experience supporting others while working in Child Welfare, Psychiatric Research, Crisis Intervention/Counseling, Active Duty Military, In/Outpatient Therapy, & Hospice. I am delighted to work with those seeking TeleHealth Services & feel so thankful this outlet exists, especially in this uncertain time of an International Pandemic.
I specialize in Client-Centered & Solution-Focused Therapies while striving to help achieve a sense of Empowerment for my clients. My practice is based on the premise that all human systems are interconnected. An example would be a person's chronic pain exacerbating their level of anxiousness. Often the anxiety we experience also agitates our pain level. It proves challenging to discern which came first when both are heightened. The more we learn & know about ourselves, the easier it is to know "what to do". My goal is to aid in that process & then work towards what works best to put into routine in effort to have a fulfilling, & high, overall quality of life.
I am very much looking forward to working with you & am hopeful we can work together to achieve your goals!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rowna Showghi. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have the privilege of working with an exceptional therapist who has truly made a positive impact on my life. From the very first session, it was evident that her commitment to creating a safe and non-judgmental space was unparalleled.
One of the standout qualities of this therapist is her exceptional listening skills. Throughout our sessions, she attentively listened to all my concerns, creating an environment where I felt comfortable sharing my deepest thoughts and feelings. Her empathetic approach and genuine interest made me feel heard and understood, validating my emotions in a way that I hadn't experienced before.
Engaging in conversations with her not only provided an outlet for expression but also instilled in me a sense of confidence. Knowing that my thoughts and feelings were acknowledged and respected gave me the reassurance I needed to navigate life's challenges with a newfound sense of self-assuredness.
What sets this therapist apart is the tangible impact of our sessions. After each meeting, I consistently left feeling better and more equipped to tackle the uncertainties that I brought to our video sessions. Her guidance helped me unravel and understand my own complexities, providing clarity and a sense of direction that I hadn't realized I was missing.
In summary, my experience with this therapist has been transformative. She is a compassionate guide on the path to healing, offering not only professional expertise but also a genuine dedication to the well-being of her clients. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking support, understanding, and positive change in their lives.
