“What I love most about my work is really simple: helping people,” says Dr. Kaveh. “I’m really down to earth and take the time to get to know each individual client on a very holistic level. When you come in for a therapy, treatment, or testing session at either Washington Psychological Wellness or Washington Insight Solutions, we value the holistic approach, and we’re known for providing boutique-style therapy and testing. I want you to come in and have it feel like you’re someplace cozy and warm, where you’re greeted and treated like a human. I don’t like the whole sterile hospital feeling, so I feel that we provide an environment where people can really just let loose and relax and open up the best they can.”
