Ehsan Moazen-Zadeh, MD, MSc
Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry

Dr. Moazen is a psychiatrist and trauma therapist with extensive experience treating mental health conditions that can lead to repetitive behaviors, distress, or avoidance. His clinical work includes trauma, OCD, tics, generalized anxiety, and anxiety related to physical symptoms, often alongside attention and executive-function difficulties. He approaches treatment with the belief that healing begins with connection, and he places the therapeutic relationship—built on trust, compassion, and collaboration—at the center of his work. He frequently works with neurodivergent clients and tailors care to each person’s emotional and psychological needs, honoring both their struggles and their strengths. He is committed to providing affirming care to LGBTQ2SIA+ clients and approaches each person with curiosity, respect, and attention to their unique story.
