Dr. Roxanne Rafiepour, Psy.D.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, and I have 10 years of experience treating young adults (20’s, 30’s 40’s), children, teens, and parents in psychotherapy. I love what I do and truly feel at home when I am in sessions with my patients.
I received my Doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, San Francisco. I additionally have a Master’s degree in clinical psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I trained at private practices, community mental health agencies, and in preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools in the Bay Area as well as in Los Angeles. I completed my pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training, with a specialization in children and their families, from the Ann Martin Center.
I am also actively engaged in mentoring and training early career mental health professionals and provide consultation to non profits in the Bay Area. In my free time, I enjoy live music, traveling, and spending time in nature.

I am a Registered Psychological Associate and fourth-year PsyD student at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. I received my bachelor’s in Psychology from UC Davis and later earned my master’s in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute. My psychotherapy training includes work with the College Wellness Program in San Pablo, Carl B. Metoyer Center for Family Counseling in Deep East Oakland, and Community Youth Center of San Francisco.
I am passionately committed to supporting first-generation and Asian American individuals navigating intergenerational trauma within immigrant and refugee families. I work across the lifespan specializing in: complex trauma, neurodivergence (ASD & ADHD), behavioral/emotional challenges, academic issues, family conflict, grief and loss, life transitions, body image concerns, identity navigation, and those impacted by the foster care and juvenile justice systems. In my work with children and adolescents, I deeply value collaboration with parents and caregivers to provide the best support for your child’s growth and wellbeing.
I also support folks seeking to deepen their relationships to themselves by cultivating a practice of awareness, compassion, and embodiment. In our work together, you are truly welcome exactly as you are. I believe you already have within yourself the wisdom and capacity you need to create a life that is most deeply fulfilling for you. Our process is collaborative; you are the expert on yourself, and I am committed to your thriving. I invite us to sit together with the emotions that might have felt too heavy to carry and too overwhelming to face alone. With curiosity and compassion, we gradually bring greater clarity and balance to your inner and external world. You can finally begin to unlearn the patterns that no longer serve you, and instead learn to envision and embody your wholeness.
I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate the opportunity to work with you!
