Mahboobeh Sanati
کارشناسی ارشد (M.A) روانشناسی بالینی
I am Mahboubeh Sanati, a clinical psychologist with a focus on individual counseling and the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, and personality disorders. In the treatment process, I use short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral interventions to help clients feel better about themselves and their lives, strengthen their psychological resilience, and achieve personal growth and change.
