ANI VARBEDIAN
Hi, I’m Ani Varbedian.
For over two decades, I’ve walked alongside individuals as they navigate the tender, often messy journey of healing. And I don’t just bring clinical expertise—I bring lived experience. I’m a mother, a partner, a woman who’s done her own inner work in the quiet moments after an argument, the deep ache of self-doubt, and the slow, sacred process of coming home to myself.
The work I do isn’t just professional. It’s personal. My path into therapy was shaped by the pain and questions I carried in my early life—about worthiness, belonging, and why some wounds feel like they never fully go away. Sitting in my own therapist’s office during grad school, I began to uncover the roots of those struggles. That work didn’t just change me—it called me into this work with others.
I founded Intentional Family Therapy with a simple but powerful belief: we don’t have to stay stuck in the patterns we inherited. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, shame, overwhelm, or the lingering impact of childhood trauma, I’m here to help you make sense of it all—not by fixing you, but by walking with you as you reconnect with the strength and wisdom already inside you
As a mother of two, I’m constantly learning. My kids remind me every day that healing isn’t a destination—it’s a relationship. With ourselves. With others. With our past and our future. Outside the therapy room, you’ll find me hiking in nature, getting lost in a good book, or lingering over deep conversations with people I love. These are the moments that refill my cup and remind me why connection is at the heart of everything I do.
If you’re ready to explore your story with compassion, courage, and curiosity—I’d be honored to walk with you. Healing is possible. Let’s begin.
