Dr. Mojgan Shariatpanahi
PhD دکترا تخصصی روانشناسی
I am Mojgan Shariatpanahi, a clinical psychologist with years of experience working with clients in the areas of anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, sexual issues, and LGBTQ-related topics. My professional path began with midwifery and, with a deep interest in understanding the human mind, continued to the doctoral level in psychology. Throughout these years, I have worked both as an individual and couples therapist in various fields, and as a university lecturer, I have imparted my knowledge and experience. My approach to therapy is integrative; meaning that, according to each client's diagnosis and needs, I use a combination of Schema Therapy and other scientific approaches such as CBT, ACT, and DBT. My focus is on creating a safe, human, and non-judgmental relationship, so that the client can understand themselves more deeply and navigate the path to improvement with awareness.
