Hello, My name is Mazda Lakpour. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. My goal is to help people have better relationships, get their feet on the ground and see life as is.
My specialty areas are mood and anxiety, anger and stress management, co-occurring disorders, adjustment issues, personal growth and self-esteem. I am experienced with adults, teenagers, couples and families. I utilize an integrative approach of Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral and hypnotherapy interventions.
I combine elements of psychology, hypnosis, meditation, and imagery with a pledge to always maintain the highest level of integrity, confidentiality, and wisdom. I do this work because I believe that the world becomes a better place when we assist each other towards our individual goals of greater happiness.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mazda is great. He has really helped me so much in all the things that were making my life difficult. Appreciate all his work!
Great sessions. Thank you Mazda!!!
I enjoyed our conversation. I appreciate your support and guidance
I like his get down to business approach. I'm dealing with big, complex, intertwined issues. He listened to them, made me feel heard, then helped me untangle and unpack them, offering me some tools to tryout when i felt the twisting start again.
I enjoy his attentive attitude and always gives me constructive feedback on my life
Great guy, understands how to help me with the tools to use in life
Great therapist. He knows how to address the root of the problem. He has helped me with my short-term and long-term struggles.
Mazda is very patient and is very understanding. In the time I’ve met with I’ve learned how to find grace within myself and I’ve made improvements in myself as a result
Finally have a great therapist
Mr Lakpour is excellent and has a wealth of knowledge and experience which he conveys well.

Mazda is a great guy and has helped me through some tough times in my life over the past year. I look forward to our chats.
Mazda is a therapist who is always empathetic, logical, helps me think through all the possible outcomes of a decision, responds within a few hours typically when I message him outside of appointments, and is a great listener! I couldn't ask for a better therapist!
Mazda is a great listener and very insightful on his recommendations. Thank you.
Mazda is respectful and attentive. He understands my problem and offers advice on the situation.
Mazda always has a lot to offer in terms of very valuable input and advice no matter what situation I present and even when I falter he reminds me to focus on myself and that I'm doing my best!
In therapy, an important trait is the care a therapist has for its patients. Dr. Lakpour was very attentive and followed up on my progress. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone who is seeking to better themselves.
Appreciate the support. Helped more than I thought it would. Phone session. Felt good to be heard and supported.
Mazda is a great listener, very understanding and another thing is he's very intelligent when trying to guide me and educate me to be mindful and keep doing what I'm doing by using examples of all the great athletes, actors, singers, etc.... I appreciate everything he's done for me
Very helpful and friendly, knowledgeable about many methods to better understand myself and my behaviors.
Mazda has been very helpful
since this began and I actually became a paying participate Mazda has certainly heard many jokes about his first name. he is either named after the car or his name came first!!! All joking aside he is good at what he does his advice is usually spot on!
Mazda is an extremely supportive therapist who offers multiple tools for better self-management, perspective taking, and how to evaluate a situation from a more level headed perspective.
Mazda is a pleasure to work with. He is very professional, understanding and has a great ability to steer the conversation and pick out important details. I've learned more about myself that I haven't with previous councilors.
You are the best
Great experience to date
Mazda is the first therapist that I have ever seen in my life. I was really surprised at how comfortable I was with him the first time that we met ! I’ve been going through marriage troubles and battling personal issues for a long time now and I always thought I had it under control. I lost the key to my toolbox for a while and things got out of control for me. Mazda has helped me find my key and realize that I don’t have to be so hard on myself when things happen. I’m definitely a work in progress but I’m extremely grateful for the knowledge and wisdom that Mazda has shared with me! I look forward to our sessions!
Very helpful
Very knowledgeable with people struggling with motivation.
Mazda is a great CBT therapist and is skilled at helping me to focus on my needs and less on my story. I've gained some great insight from him so far.
Mazda has been great at helping me better understand the causes of the issues i was having so that we can find solutions to move forward. He explains things clearly and gave me tools to understand how to deal with my anxiety and how to improve my state of mind.
He is always very responsive and giving great advises and workshops. So happy I found Mazda through BetterHelp app.
Great to speak to, offers such amazing tools
Great
My counselor is very responsive and I feel he has genuine concern for my well being. I certainly did not expect him to be so responsive to my messages I feel like I'm working on my issues with a dedicated coach.
Mazda has been very responsive and helpful in reminding me about goals and priorities I worked with him to set.
