Dr Behzad Salmani

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“I'm a licensed clinical and health psychologist who is a specialist in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Panic Disorder. Also, I'm treating other anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder and phobias with a new scientific psychotherapy called Metacognitive Therapy based on Neuroscience.”

About Me

I guide adults navigating the complexities of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Panic Disorder. If you experience overwhelming thoughts or intense anxiety, I offer dedicated support. My work also addresses generalised anxiety and phobias, using Metacognitive Therapy. This neuroscience-based approach helps you understand and manage your thinking patterns. Clients find practical strategies to reduce distress and regain a sense of control in daily life.

Approach

I keep sessions focused and collaborative, turning neuroscience-informed ideas into clear, stepwise experiments you can try between meetings. I meet adults in Tehran or online, in English or Farsi, and use brief assessments and practical exercises to track progress and refine what helps with intrusive thoughts, repeated rituals, or sudden anxiety. Expect steady pacing, in-session practice, and short between-session tasks that build confidence. This way of working tends to suit people who want measurable change and hands-on tools.
