Norooz Clinic Foundation

“I was trapped in a cage for 23 years, and now I’m finally stepping out. I feel free.” Here at Norooz Clinic, this is the kind of transformation we strive to make every day by providing compassionate, affordable mental health care to those who need it most. Since 2012, we have delivered over 25,000 therapy sessions to more than 4,700 clients, creating a safe space for healing while also training the next generation of mental health professionals. Your support helps us continue expanding access to care and empowering individuals to reclaim their lives — because everyone deserves the chance to feel free.

We provide individual, couples, family, and EMDR therapy, psychological testing, and free support groups in 5 different languages: English, Spanish, Farsi, Vietnamese, and Mandarin. We accept insurance and provide services on a sliding scale or pro-bono. 

Here are just a few of the lives transformed through our care:
59F SA victim: 
"After beginning therapy at NCF, I was able to recognize that I had been a victim and that the shame and guilt I carried did not belong to me. I was trapped in a cage for 23 years, and now I’m finally stepping out. I feel free.”

23F LGBT:
"I struggled with abandonment issues, but through therapy, I learned to assert myself and find pride in my growth. Although I was pressured to attend law school, I discovered my true passion and now I'm on the path to becoming a psychologist."

42F: 
"When I first came to the clinic, I was experiencing debilitating anxiety. Through therapy, I found out I had underlying dependent personality disorder. With consistent support, I returned to school and graduated at the top of her class and now I'm a licensed physical therapist."

Experiences from our clinical interns:
- “I just want to thank each and every person that I had the pleasure to work with at Norooz. I felt so supported and accepted, and I felt I learned so much. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity I was given at Norooz, and I know that I will be a better clinician because of my experience at this site.”

- “Yes I would recommend Norooz Clinic Foundation as a practicum site to other students and I have to current classmates thus far. The clinic offers valuable hands-on experience in both therapy and psychological assessment. Additionally, the interns at Norooz work with a diverse client population and develop a wide range of clinical skills. Supervisors and admin are supportive and knowledgeable, and the environment encourages growth and independence.”

- "I would absolutely recommend Norooz Clinic as a practicum site to other students. I think it was a great site to being my practicum training in and to develop the experience of working with clients in both testing and therapeutic settings.”
