Welcome to Nora Ghodsian's website.

First, a couple of testimonies to sweeten your palate:

Nora, your outlook has been inspiring and has certainly changed my view of what might be seen as mundane or unglamorous parenting tasks; allowing me instead, to see them as a privilege and opportunity.
— Heather L.
I first met Nora in 1999 when I was at the worst and lowest time of my life. I was so lost in my issues that I didn’t know who to turn to or if anyone could have helped, by the grace of God a friend gave me the name and phone number of a psychotherapist “Nora”.
I feel so blessed to have found Nora because her compassion and incredible skills of psychotherapy has given me my life back! When in need of help and guidance finding the right therapist is everything”.
