Having served as a family physician in both emergency and rural clinics in Iran, Sahar has experience assisting patients coping with anxiety and depression within the realm of chronic illnesses, somatoform disorders, OCD, and trauma. In addition, she provided personalized counseling to newcomers dealing with adjustment challenges. Sahar integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, grounded in an anti-oppressive and humanistic approach. She is also deeply interested in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, drawing on the insights of Lacan and Freud in her practice.
Sahar also holds a master's degree in psychiatry from McGill University, where her research explored the psychosocial impacts of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, deepening her understanding of the emotional and psychological challenges faced by patients.
Life brings challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming, yet within these struggles lies an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. As the Persian poet and Sufi mystic Rumi beautifully said, "The wound is the place where the light enters you." I am here to support you on this journey, helping you uncover the light within and guiding you toward healing
