Founder's Message - Psychodynamic Counseling Center

In 2012, my family and I immigrated to Vancouver, Canada.

I had been working in specialized counseling and psychotherapy in Iran for about 15 years, even founding the Hasti Counseling Center, where I had a successful track record and a deep passion for my work.

Upon arriving in Vancouver, I noticed a gap in the Persian-speaking community for a specialized and academic psychological counseling centre. After obtaining official certification from the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, I decided to establish a counseling centre. This endeavor came to fruition in August 2014 with the birth of Psychodynamic Counselling Inc.

The journey was challenging, but my love for the work and people fueled my motivation to continue and progress on this path.

Simultaneously, I engaged in various volunteer activities to promote the center and its impactful initiatives.
