Clinical Psychologist

Our commitment as mental health professionals is to build bridges of empathy and understanding, helping to weave a safety net that supports the whole community.


As a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 23 years of experience, I specialize in applied clinical and healthcare psychology, focusing on psychotherapy and comprehensive psychometric assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. I excel in conducting a wide range of evaluations, including psycho-educational, cognitive, behavioural, personality, neuro-cognitive, ADHD, and ASD assessments.
My extensive background includes serving at the Regional Institution for Mental Health in Utrecht, The Netherlands, where I was involved in inpatient, outpatient, crisis intervention, and aftercare psychiatric departments from 1995 until 2004. Additionally, I have significant experience as a forensic psychologist with the Department of Criminal Justice in Utrecht and The Hague from 2002 to 2008.

I am well-versed in addressing diverse psychological needs and have also worked in various capacities in Tehran, Iran, including the State Welfare Organization's Prevention and Addiction Department, a private practice, and the Addiction and Research Center until 2012.

I hold a post doctorate degree as a Clinical Health Care Psychologist from 2002, a doctoral degree as a Clinical Psychologist from 1999 from Utrecht University, and a degree in Forensic Psychology obtained in 2003 from the Forensic Psychiatric Service Department of the Ministry of Justice in The Netherlands.

"I am currently working at the American Wellness Center, where I continue to apply my extensive experience and skills to help my clients achieve their mental health goals."
