I am a registered Clinical Psychologist in Ontario, Canada, with training and experience across community mental health, hospital, and private practice settings, with a strong emphasis on comprehensive psychological assessment. I specialize in the assessment and diagnosis of adult mental health conditions, including anxiety and related disorders, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and personality-related difficulties. I have extensive experience conducting evidence-based assessments using clinical interviews, standardized measures, and functional evaluations to inform diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, and medico-legal decision-making (e.g., WSIB and MVA contexts). In addition to assessment, I provide evidence-based interventions using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and third-wave approaches such as ACT, DBT, and MCT. My work is grounded in scientific evidence and a collaborative, client-centered approach.

Sahba Moghen
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
If you are a parent dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, and the feeling of struggling to hold everything together, you are in the right place. You might be navigating parenting (or single parenting), ADHD, or burnout while trying to make sense of neurodivergence in yourself or your family. I support women, parents, and teens who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched thin, and want more clarity, emotional balance, and a steadier way of moving through daily life. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I understand how daily life can feel heavy when navigating parenting and neurodivergence in both yourself and your children. My work is relational and psychodynamic, exploring how early experiences, family dynamics, and diagnosis or underdiagnosis shape emotional patterns. Together, we build insight, regulate overwhelm, and create more sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others. My work is trauma informed and culturally sensitive.
- TRAUMA INFORMED PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy
EMDR
Hypnotherapy
Somatic Therapy
Trauma is not only about what happened to us—it is also about what remains within us after the experience has passed. Difficult or overwhelming experiences can leave lasting effects on the nervous system, emotions, relationships, and the way we see ourselves and the world. Trauma may show up as anxiety, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, difficulty trusting others, feeling constantly on guard, or simply a persistent sense that something inside has never fully settled. At Nuran Clinic, our trauma-focused therapists provide a safe, compassionate space to understand and work through these experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Drawing from trauma-informed, attachment-based, and evidence-informed approaches, we help clients process painful experiences, develop greater emotional and nervous-system regulation, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a life that is no longer organized around what happened in the past.
Child and Parent Therapy
Nasser Yousefi
Phd in Educational Psychology
My name is Nasser Yousefi. I am a child and adolescent counselor, a senior specialist in humanistic education, and a children’s literature author. I hold a degree in Clinical Psychology from Iran and a PhD in Educational Psychology from the United States. For more than 30 years, I have worked alongside children, adolescents, and families, supporting emotional growth, stronger communication, and healthier relationships at home. Many parents come to me feeling worried or unsure about how to support their child , whether they are facing anxiety, behavioral challenges, emotional withdrawal, or the pressures of growing up in today’s world. I want parents to know they are not alone. My work is grounded in humanistic psychology, which means I focus on empathy, respect, and emotional connection. I believe children grow best when they feel seen, understood, and safe. Parenting, in my view, is not about control, but about companionship and growth. Over the years, I have also collaborated with organizations such as UNICEF and UNESCO in the areas of early childhood education and promoting a culture of peace. Working with families from diverse cultural backgrounds , including immigrant parents raising children between two worlds , has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges families face today. My goal is to help children grow into secure and emotionally healthy human beings, and to support parents in feeling more confident and connected along the way

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Yorkville University, an Honours Bachelor in Psychology from York University, and a Diploma in Social Service Work from George Brown College. I have served for over 10 years in community, educational, and clinical settings, primarily supporting the neurodivergent community, including individuals with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). My work is grounded in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and biopsychosocial frameworks. I draw from DBT, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based approaches, while remaining attentive to how systemic factors such as racism, discrimination, migration, immigration, and serving individuals from war-affected regions shape mental health and well-being. I work with individuals navigating immigration and cultural adjustment, ADHD, generalized anxiety, emotional intensity, identity stress, and major life transitions. I also support people who experience heightened emotional sensitivity, including rejection sensitivity often associated with ADHD (RSD), and I am affirming of LGBTQ+ individuals and those exploring identity and belonging.

My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed interventions, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed care. I believe that lasting change occurs when clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves while developing practical skills to navigate life's challenges. I have experience supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, stress and burnout, self-esteem concerns, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, life transitions, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and parenting concerns. I also have experience working with children and adolescents, including those with ADHD as well as newcomers and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Before becoming a full-time psychotherapist, I spent many years working within the education system, supporting children and families with diverse learning, behavioural, and emotional needs. This experience has strengthened my understanding of child development, family dynamics, school-related concerns, and collaborative care. My approach emphasizes authenticity, curiosity, and respect for each client's lived experience. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, build resilience, and help them develop practical strategies that support meaningful and sustainable growth. Whether clients are seeking support for a specific challenge or working toward deeper personal growth, I strive to provide therapy that is evidence-based, culturally responsive, and tailored to their individual goals.
- IMMIGRATION & DISPLACEMENT
Addressing Post-Migration Stressors
Culturally Adapted Approach
Brief Interventions and Legal Documentation
Migration is not simply a change of place. It can involve leaving behind family, community, culture, language, identity, career, and a familiar way of life. For refugees and those who have experienced forced displacement, this journey may also carry experiences of persecution, violence, loss, uncertainty, and separation from loved ones.At Nuran Clinic, we understand the unique psychological challenges that can come with immigration, displacement, and rebuilding life in a new country. Our culturally responsive and trauma-informed therapists support individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity and belonging challenges, family separation, acculturation stress, and fear or uncertainty surrounding immigration.With therapists from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, we strive to provide a space where clients do not have to leave their culture at the door. Our goal is not only to help people adjust to a new environment, but to rebuild a sense of safety, connection, identity, and belonging while honouring where they came from.
“Migration is not only a journey across borders, it is a journey through identity, loss, belonging, and becoming.”
“Home is more than a place. It is a language, a memory, a relationship, and a feeling of being known.”
Coaching and Personal Development
Natasha Shokri
Phd in Social Justice
Natasha Shokri is a mental health and well-being practitioner, professional coach, educator, happiness researcher, conflict-resolution specialist, and co-founder of Sokoot, a social justice–informed mental health initiative. Her work is grounded in the understanding that emotional well-being is shaped not only by individual experiences, but also by relationships, identity, culture, migration, conflict, displacement, and social conditions. Natasha is a PhD Candidate at the University of Toronto, where her research explores mental-wellbeing, resilience, resistance, and human flourishing. She holds a master from the United Nations–mandated University for Peace and has completed professional coaching training through the World Happiness Academy. She is also a member of the World Happiness Foundation. Her approach combines social justice–informed, trauma-aware, anti-oppressive, culturally responsive, strength-based, and conflict-sensitive perspectives. Drawing on her professional coaching training, Natasha incorporates Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, reframe limiting narratives, strengthen communication, and develop more intentional responses. She supports clients in deepening self-awareness, strengthening relationships, understanding their emotions, making meaningful decisions, and reconnecting with personal agency and purpose. Her approach emphasizes reflection, understanding, empowerment, openness, and sustainable personal growth. Natasha is also trained in the Meta Pets Method, an archetypal and reflective approach that uses symbolism, narrative, creativity, and the exploration of the Shadow, Gift, and Essence to help individuals recognize less-visible emotions and patterns. Rather than treating difficult aspects of the self as problems to eliminate, this approach helps clients understand and transform them into sources of insight, strength, and meaningful action. Having lived and worked across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North America, Natasha brings a globally informed and culturally responsive perspective to her practice. Her experience includes working with United Nations–affiliated initiatives, international non-governmental organizations, human-rights institutions, and peace-building organizations. As a UNESCO Youth Peace Ambassador, she has facilitated programs and contributed to international initiatives focused on peace education, human rights, intercultural understanding, and community development. These experiences have deepened her understanding of how political conflict, forced displacement, systemic injustice, and cultural transition can shape emotional well-being. Natasha is particularly passionate about supporting newcomers, refugees, human-rights advocates, racialized individuals, and people from war- and conflict-affected communities. Natasha creates compassionate and reflective spaces where clients can explore their experiences without judgment, reconnect with their strengths, and develop personally meaningful pathways toward healing and well-being. Her work honours both the individual and the wider world in which healing takes place.
Pari Soleimani
Holistic Mind-Body Life Coach
I’m certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuroscience Coaching, Holistic Nutrition, and Lifestyle Medicine. My approach is both scientific and deeply human — grounded in brain-based methods, yet guided by mindfulness, nature, and authentic self-connection. I believe the way we think, move, eat, and breathe can reshape the brain and the way we experience life. Through awareness of your neural patterns, emotional responses, and body signals, I help you rewire your mind toward less stress, more focus, and a deeper sense of balance and clarity. Five years ago, my own journey began — a period marked by anxiety and depression that became the doorway to everything I now teach and practice. It taught me that healing isn’t about perfection or speed; it’s about learning to listen — to your mind, your body, and the quiet wisdom of nature. In my coaching, we focus on building meaningful routines and positive habits that help you rediscover your rhythm and create a life that feels true to your unique path. Whether it’s finding purpose, managing stress, or reconnecting with your natural flow — I’m here to walk beside you with compassion and curiosity. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me dancing under sunlight, walking in nature, or curled up with a good book. For me, joy, movement, and connection to nature aren’t just hobbies, they’re essential parts of healing and being fully alive.

I also completed a two-year online training program in Modern Psychoanalysis and adolescent mental health through the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies in New York.

Soudabeh Daghighi
Psychotherapist
Iran
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist working in private practice. My prime concern is to create a safe and committed setting for clients to participate in their own change. I am particularly interested to bring about this change in young individuals who are making the transition into adult life, who are not equipped to face the challenges and trials of a complex world, and to navigate them through personal and social anxieties. I have 30 years of experience working with youth education and providing mentorship for their mental and emotional health. This is based on building a sense of trust and confidentiality much needed by young adults as their backbone of relational experience in the therapeutic setting. I am also a psychodynamic organizational therapist and a full member of APPCIOS with an interest to work in educational organizations such as childcare, schools, and universities, offering counseling in organizational settings.
