Alia Al-Zand

Alia is skilled at holding space for difficult topics and helping folks with ADHD improve their executive function. And her office is very comforting and welcoming. I recommend her!

I’ve known Alia for a long time and have always been deeply impressed by her personality and the thoughtful, individualized approach she brings to every client. She has a truly special gift when working with children, especially those struggling with ADHD. Alia takes the time to provide thorough analysis, helping families truly understand the challenges their child is facing. She always offers practical strategies and multiple paths forward, empowering parents with choice and clarity. Her support, kindness, and unwavering dedication make all the difference. I can’t recommend her enough.

Alia is such a great and supportive person to work through these type of problems with. She was able to bring great insights into what was going on with our son and options for us to consider. Her deep expertise and her great demeanor are a wonderful combination.

Alia Al-Zand is someone whose presence and care made a lasting impact on me during my undergraduate years. The support and kindness Alia extended during that time transformed the way I viewed challenges and how I approached them. Her gentle, affirming manner and genuine attentiveness created a sense of safety and possibility that helped me feel less alone. Because of her, I felt empowered to explore multiple pathways for addressing difficulties in my life. Alia’s warmth and insight continue to stand out as a powerful example of what compassionate support can look like.

I’ve known Alia since our time in post-graduate psychodynamic training, and from the beginning, her presence stood out — she's grounded, deeply attuned, and genuinely thoughtful. She brings a rare capacity to meet clients exactly where they are, blending clinical skill with a kind of warmth that invites real trust. Alia’s work is not only informed by training, but by a deep respect for the complexity of each person’s experience. I appreciate the ways Alia holds space for many layers of human experience. I trust her immensely as a colleague and a clinician, and recommend her as a therapist.
