Additionally, I am an art therapist in Quebec (Montreal). I am well-versed in various therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamics, CBT, mindfulness, art therapy, emotionally focused therapy, attachment-based therapy, and humanistic approaches. My practice is client-centered, ensuring a compassionate and safe therapeutic environment tailored to meet your unique needs and goals for optimal results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Background<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My journey in mental health began in Iran, where I worked as a medical doctor and psychiatrist. During this time, I gained extensive experience in assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and psychotherapy with a diverse population. After moving to Canada, I furthered my training in art therapy and continued to work in the field of psychotherapy, bringing a rich background of advanced training in psychotherapy, psychiatry, and medicine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Therapeutic Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I believe that a strong alliance with the right therapist and selecting the appropriate therapeutic approach can profoundly change a person&#8217;s life. My methodologies include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Psychodynamics:<\/strong> Exploring the underlying psychological forces and how they shape behavior.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy):<\/strong> Focusing on changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mindfulness:<\/strong> Encouraging present-moment awareness to foster emotional regulation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Art Therapy:<\/strong> Using creative expression as a medium for healing and self-discovery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emotionally Focused Therapy:<\/strong> Improving attachment and bonding in relationships.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attachment-Based Therapy:<\/strong> Addressing issues stemming from early attachment experiences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Humanistic Approach:<\/strong> Emphasizing personal growth and self-actualization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Client-Centered Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My client-centered approach ensures that therapy is customized to your needs, providing a compassionate and supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions.
