Ali Najafian Jazi

Ali Najafian Jazi

Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • California


Dr. Jazi graduated from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2006. He had a strong enthusiasm for studying the brain function. Therefore, he decided to join a neuroscience research lab at the University of Bremen in Germany in 2007. In 2009, he joined a graduate program at the Barrow Neurological Institute at Arizona State University to further study the brain and expand his studies in the field of neuroscience. He has presented in many neuroscience conferences and has published several papers in scientific journals. For a list of his papers please click here.

His research background in the field of neuroscience was extremely helpful in understanding mental health disorders. His enthusiasm to help patients and families dealing with mental health problems was an important motive to start his training in psychiatry. In 2014, he joined the Psychiatry Residency Program at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in Roanoke, Virginia. During his residency training he was working in both academic and community settings with a variety of patient populations. Having special interest in mental health disorder in older adults, after graduating from residency in Adult Psychiatry, he did a fellowship in Geriatric Psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where he was trained more specifically to take care of older adults with mental health disorders. He graduated from Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship at UCLA in 2019 and shortly after he began his private practice.

Dr. Jazi is a culturally competent psychiatrists and psychotherapist, meaning that he is comfortable addressing issues like developmental disabilities, disabilities that develop later in life, national origin, racial identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, etc. He is also very familiar with Middle Eastern cultures. He speaks Farsi fluently, and he provides psychotherapy and medication management in both English and Farsi.
