Wealth Therapy: Understanding Yourself & Your Relationships
UHNW Psychologist for Couples & Individuals
“Our different values related to wealth caused much friction amongst us… This all changed when we started working with Dr Lami. She helped us resolve all these issues. It is still work in progress, but we have clarity and a direction.”
B & D, Park City, UTA, USA
Affluence creates unique pressures within relationships and for individuals. Wealth does not shield us from emotional pain, conflict, or anxiety, and it can intensify avoidance through spending, control, or constant movement instead of honest connection.
As an ultra-high-net-worth wealth psychologist, business and clinical psychologist, and second-generation family member, Dr Lami provides a discreet and safe space for couples and individuals to address the emotional and relational complexities that accompany wealth and build deeper trust, clarity, and intimacy.

Parenting: Preparing Children for Wealth and Wellbeing
Preparing children for wealth transfer is not a one time event. It is an educational and emotional process that must be integrated into conscious parenting.
Research shows that 95 percent of wealth loss results from unprepared heirs, not poor financial planning. In response, Dr Lami developed the Pillars for Wealth Parenting©, an evidence based framework grounded in her PhD research, equipping parents with the tools to raise capable, grounded, and financially and emotionally prepared next generation leaders.
Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer Readiness
How to ensure successful wealth transfer
Estate planning and wealth transfer are both practical and deeply emotional. Decisions about when and how to pass on wealth often surface unease, revealing our relationship with money and with our children.
These emotional factors are frequently overlooked, yet they can cause lasting harm. Drawing on her work with inheritors, Dr Lami helps families address the human side of estate planning early, ensuring decisions are balanced, conscious, and supportive of both parents and children.

"As a couple we have been looking for a therapist/coach to help our family. Over time we worked with various therapist & coaches, but we did not feel comfortable talking about how much we have and the challenges it presents. Most coached and therapists do not understand money and our money situation. They see it as rich people problems and sometimes have made us feel stupid bringing our issues up. We were uncomfortable disclosing how much wealth we have although we had to do so because it was at the heart of our conflicts – what to do with it, how to distribute it, how to ensure successful wealth transfer, how to raise our children, and much more. Our different values related to wealth caused much friction amongst us as a family. This all changed when we started working with Dr Lami. She helped us and worked with us to resolve all these issues. It is still work in progress, but we have clarity and a direction."

“As a next gen beneficiary to my family trust, I felt trapped. I felt like a person who lives on ‘social benefit’. Wanting to gain my independence, I believed taking legal actions was the only solution to the problem. But I was wrong. You showed me that there are healthier ways to handle the situation. It took some time, but I managed to come to an agreement with my trustees. I believe much of it happened because of the work I did with you.”

Parenting for UHNW
Preparing Your Children:
How to prepare the next generation for wealth transfer & wellbeing
"When wealth is lost matter is lost, when health is lost something is lost, when character is lost, all is lost.” - Billy Graham
Preparing children for successful wealth transfer does not happen overnight, it’s an educational and emotional process that takes time, and should be an integral part of parenting.
Research show that 95% of wealth loss is due to unprepared heirs, and only 5% of it is lost due to poor financial planning.
Therefore Dr. Lami developed her Pillars for Wealth Parenting ©. An educational process based on her PhD research findings that equip parents with the necessary knowledge and tools to facilitate a successful wealth transfer.
Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer
How to ensure successful wealth transfer
Estate planning and transferring wealth to the next generation are both a practical and emotional process. Often with children and inheritance the idea of when and how to give our money away can make us feel uneasy. It evokes various feelings and highlights our relationship with money, our children and ourselves. In today’s world, the complexities of estate planning require the consideration of many different aspects.
During this process, the emotional aspects – or the “soft issues” – of estate planning and wealth transfer are often pushed aside or overlooked. Dr Lami has observed the harmful side of it in her work with inheritors.
Prior to starting the process of estate planning, parents should consider the emotional aspects that are associated with it and will help ensure balancing your needs and your children’s.
Before you make a decision that could possibly hurt your children, please consult with Dr. Lami on how to best go about your estate planning.
