Dr Nazee Akbari

With over 23 years of experience in the mental health field, I offer expert bilingual psychotherapy with a Doctorate-level qualification. I provide therapy in both English and Farsi, utilizing an integrative approach to address each client's unique needs. My extensive background includes Humanistic, Psychoanalytic, Existential, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches, with a particular focus on CBT and Cross-Cultural therapy.

As a cross-cultural therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, including those in mixed cultural relationships or navigating identity challenges within different cultures. My expertise extends to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, advanced-level Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cross-Cultural therapy, effectively addressing issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger management, relationship problems, confidence, phobias, OCD, personality disorders, sexual abuse, bereavement, and addiction.

In my role as a clinical supervisor, I guide students and colleagues, fostering their professional development. I am committed to creating a non-judgmental and collaborative environment, empowering clients through a non-directive approach that promotes autonomy and self-discovery. My mission is to equip clients with the self-awareness and inner resources necessary to achieve their full potential.
