I’m Saba Sadeghimehr, and I have five years of experience working with a diverse range of individuals, including students, adults, adolescents, seniors, and immigrants. Over the past two years, I’ve also had the privilege of working with Women, LGBTQ, and non-binary individuals in support groups, which has deepened my understanding of their unique experiences and needs.

My approach to therapy is rooted in Solution-Focused Therapy, which focuses on practical strategies and solutions to help clients overcome challenges and enhance their well-being. Through my work in support groups, I’ve seen how crucial community can be in fostering resilience and recovery from trauma.

In addition to my work with various populations, I have specialized experience as an instructor therapist working with children with autism, ADHD, and ADD. I’ve developed and implemented tailored programs to meet the specific needs of these children, and I’m committed to supporting both the children and their parents. I work closely with families to create individualized support plans and provide guidance on how to best support their children’s needs.

My understanding of the pressures faced by students—academic, social, and transitional—has equipped me to better tailor my outreach efforts and support services. As an Outreach Director, I advocated for improved mental health services on campus, raised awareness about mental health issues, and built strong partnerships with student organizations, campus departments, and community agencies.

Empathy and active listening are central to my practice, and I am dedicated to connecting individuals with the appropriate resources and support services. My comprehensive experience and advocacy work reflect my commitment to enhancing mental health and providing effective support to diverse communities, including those with special needs.

I’m passionate about empowering individuals through therapy and community support, and I’m dedicated to making a positive impact on mental health and well-being for all.
