About Me

As a Clinical Psychologist (PhD) and Assistant Professor, I offer a highly personalized, integrative approach to mental health. My practice is grounded in the synergy of evidence-based modalities, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) for cognitive restructuring, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) for psychological flexibility, MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) for resilience, and EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) for attachment-based emotional healing.Whether you are navigating the complexities of migration, dealing with persistent anxiety, or seeking to deepen your self-awareness, I tailor our sessions to your unique psychological landscape. My mission is to provide a culturally sensitive, safe, and professional space where you can explore your emotions, break free from unhelpful patterns, and build a more meaningful life."

Approach

"At Hale Khoob Clinic, we work together to map habitual thoughts and reshape emotional responses. My approach is integrative and attachment-informed: CBT & ACT: To build cognitive resilience and focus on what truly matters to you. MBCT: To foster mindfulness as a tool for regulation. EFIT: To identify and restructure the emotional patterns that drive your self-perception.Sessions (in-person in Tehran or online globally) are structured, goal-oriented, and tracked with psychodiagnostic assessments to ensure transparent progress. We move beyond just talking; we create a clear, actionable roadmap to help you find your ‘Hale Khoob’ (good state) and sustain it."
