Persian therapist online in the USA: therapy in Farsi, on your local time
In Los Angeles there is no shortage of Iranian therapists; in Dallas, Seattle or Boston it is a different story, and private therapy is expensive everywhere in the US. Tajrobeh introduces a Persian-speaking therapist whose hours fit your time zone. The introductory session is free; after that each session is €25 to €35 (approx. $28 to $39).
What it really means: A tightening of the heart; for a person, a smell, a street. Not only for home.
Some things can only be said in Persian. A Persian-speaking therapist hears exactly those.
What makes life in the US hard, and why language matters
These are the things Iranians in the US tell us in the introductory session. None of them is an illness; they are pressures that need to be heard in your own language.
H1B, F1, the green card, renewals. A life that hangs on an administrative decision every year creates a chronic anxiety that seems unrelated to work or relationships, but colours everything.
Deductibles, in network and out of network. Even with good insurance, a private therapy session costs many times what you knew back home, and many people never start.
A long flight and up to 11.5 hours of time difference. Bad news from Iran arrives in the middle of the night and you still have to be at work in the morning.
Persian-speaking therapists, matched to your hours
Tajrobeh does not have a therapist living in the US. Most of our clients in the US see a therapist based in Iran, whose evening is your morning; two of our therapists live in Europe. Reception tells you which of our 150+ vetted therapists is closest to your situation and your time zone.

Iran no longer changes its clocks, so the gap with the US shifts when your clocks change. Your session time is always given in your own city’s time.
7.5 hours behind Tehran in summer, 8.5 in winter. The usual 9:00 to 22:00 working window of Iran-based therapists is roughly 1:30 to 14:30 your time in summer, so mornings and lunchtimes work best.
8.5 hours behind Tehran in summer, 9.5 in winter. Mornings, before or at the start of your working day, are the easiest hours to find.
10.5 hours behind Tehran in summer, 11.5 in winter. Early mornings, or a late evening slot on the day before, overlap with the therapist’s day.

We ask what is going on and which hours suit you, then suggest a few therapists closest to your situation and your time zone.
Free introductory session

Continue, in your own hours
Sessions are scheduled in your local time and each one is paid in euros with your own card.

What Iranians in the US ask before they start
How do I find a Persian therapist online in the US?
Leave your number in the form on this page. Tajrobeh reception messages you the same day, asks what is going on, which state you are in and which hours suit you, and introduces a few Persian-speaking therapists. The introductory session with the therapist is free.
How much does it cost in dollars?
The price is fixed in euros: €25 for students and €35 for everyone else, which is approx. $28 to $39 at today’s rate. You pay with a US card via Stripe or PayPal and the dollar amount is calculated at the moment of payment.
Will my US insurance reimburse it?
Usually not, because insurers reimburse only clinicians licensed in your state. You receive an official receipt for every session, and some clients pay with an HSA or FSA card.
I am on the West Coast. When would sessions be?
For therapists in Iran, early mornings in Los Angeles or Seattle overlap with their afternoon and evening. The session time is always given in your own city’s time.
Does my immigration status affect confidentiality?
No. What is said in the session stays between you and your therapist, your name never appears in any report, and we do not exchange information with any authority.
What is this service not?
It is not an emergency or crisis service and it does not replace care from a clinician licensed in your state. If you are in danger or thinking of harming yourself, call 911, or call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at any time.
You do not need to know what the problem is yet
That is exactly what the introductory session is for: a short conversation with a therapist who understands your language, free and with no obligation. If it fits, you continue; if not, you have lost nothing.
