Many of us walk around with a messy jumble of thoughts in our head, and the mindful presence of another human can help us untangle these thoughts. This is what I offer in my unblocking practice.
Why have hourlong calls with a human, rather than just reading more self-help books and/or going on a meditation retreat? Those things are good, and they often get you most of the way there, but neither of them are responsive in the way that an observant human can be. It’s easy to start a book and then drop it, to start meditating and ruminate the whole time. A conversation, if directed in an artful way, can help you see the things you are otherwise unable (or unwilling) to see.
Unblocking sessions with me look like ordinary conversations, with most of the attention on you: I listen, I reflect back what you tell me, and I ask you questions. Hopefully the questions are good ones, in which case you end up learning something new. Sometimes, the questions aren’t good ones, because I’m not familiar enough with the problem you’re experiencing.
After the sessions, I follow up to offer accountability to the extent that it’s helpful.

You are welcome to have a free 1hr intro + unblocking call to get a taste. After that, the sessions are paid. Sessions are $125 per hour, with lower-income pricing available on request.
My practice will likely be a fit for you if you are looking for: clarity, a more wholesome relationship with yourself, and/or a partner to keep you accountable to your values and goals. I’m not a therapist, so this practice is not a fit for dealing with severe trauma or other mental health problems.

“My sessions with Kasra have felt like a breath of fresh air. Like similar sessions I’ve had before, he lets me talk through everything with patience and without judgment, helps me identify behavioral patterns, and “assigns homework” that helps me apply what I’ve learned in my professional and personal life. UNLIKE similar sessions I’ve had, Kasra help me “unblock” by bringing perspectives from his being in the tech industry and other personal experiences. Having someone who understands and can relate to my situation first-hand is a boon that I haven’t found anywhere else. Kasra helps me feel heard, supported, and motivated to take the next step.”

He has an uncanny ability to help me clarify next steps when things feel muddled.
