Ms Shadi Akbari

Psychotherapist

“My name is Shadi Akbari. I have a Master's degree in Counseling from Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, a well-known public university in Iran. I have completed numerous training courses in individual counseling and work professionally in areas such as depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional trauma. My specialized approach is CBT and Schema Therapy and I have completed many training courses in official and reputable scientific workshops.”

About Me

I am a licensed psychotherapist and counselor based in Tehran, Iran. I work with people facing abuse, anxiety, mood disorders, and stress or burnout. I offer individual counseling and psychotherapy in a confidential, direct setting.

Approach

Sessions move at your pace, combining focused reflection with practical steps shaped by my counseling training. Based in Ahwaz, I offer Farsi sessions and secure online meetings so we can keep continuity and adjust when life gets busy. We track feelings, notice patterns, and use brief between-session experiments—small practices to try at home—that gently reduce overwhelm from anxiety, mood shifts, burnout, and past abuse. Adults seeking steady, practical support to rebuild balance and self-trust tend to find this approach helpful.
