She has a broad range of clinical experience, including treating mood and anxiety disorders, conducting diagnostic assessments and providing interventions for neurodevelopmental conditions (such as Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability) in both children and adults, supporting children with emotional and behavioural dysregulation, and offering parent coaching.
Sahar has a compassionate and person-centered approach while using various psychological interventions such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT), and Dialectic Behaviour Therapy(DBT). Available to work with clients of all ages, Sahar can deliver counselling and psychological interventions in English, Persian (Farsi) and Filipino (Tagalog).
Journaling and mindfulness practices are two tools she personally uses.
“Textbooks stereotype conditions are almost non-existent. What I know is that in the real world, psychological presentations vary enormously and I’ve become good at seeing through masks that hide what’s really going on. It’s so rewarding to be part of another’s journey in life through a crisis or struggle, overcoming challenges and growing strength, resilience and new skills to handle life” Sahar says.
