Shahrzad Jalali, PsyD

Psychologist, Author, Founder & Executive Coach

Dr. Shahrzad Jalali is a clinical psychologist, executive coach, author, and founder of Dr. Jalali & Associates, a trauma-informed psychotherapy practice, and Align Remedy, a platform for integrative healing, coaching, and education. With over a decade of clinical experience, she blends depth psychology, nervous system science, and soulful insight to help individuals access lasting emotional and psychological transformation.

Her work is rooted in the understanding that both the body and psyche hold deep wisdom—and that healing begins when we learn to listen. Rather than pathologizing symptoms like anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, or chronic dysregulation, she teaches clients to approach these experiences as signals from an intelligent system. By decoding internal patterns—such as stress responses, attachment styles, and emotional defenses—Dr. Jalali helps clients understand what their symptoms are trying to communicate. From this place of curiosity and compassion, they learn to regulate from within, re-author their inner narrative, and return to a life that feels aligned and whole.

She is the author of The Fire That Makes Us, a book about turning trauma into strength and reclaiming your story with clarity and courage. Her signature course, Regulate to Rise, offers a somatic and psychological framework for healing emotional dysregulation, building nervous system resilience, and fostering grounded self-leadership.

Dr. Jalali works with high-performing yet emotionally exhausted individuals who are ready to shift from survival to inner stability and expansion. As a speaker and educator, she teaches on trauma-informed leadership, identity, boundaries, and the wisdom of the body. Her mission is to help people read their systems, relearn their rhythm, and rise—more integrated, more resilient, and more rooted in who they truly are.
