I am an experienced child psychologist who is dedicated to helping children cope with anxiety, depression, and anger. I also identify gifted children through testing assessment or children with cognitive disabilities through standardized cognitive assessment. My approach is to help children with ADHD and Autism as well.
Hello, my name is Dr. Shakiba Mobaraki. I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and currently working as a pre-licensed clinical psychologist. I also have my medical degree from Iran. I have been working as a consultant physician in the area of Mental Health and as an internal medicine specialist in Iran before moving to the United State. In the U.S, I have worked in several psychiatric hospitals. In my professional roles as a physician and as a psychotherapist, I got extensive experience while assessing and managing mental health conditions.
As a clinician, I have worked with individuals who needed therapy due to having anxiety or depression as well as those who had a history of trauma, loss, or grief. My therapy approach is based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in order to help clients to set their goals, manage their emotions, and resolve their issues in a calm and peaceful manner.
In addition to psychotherapy, I specialize in assessing a variety of mental conditions including mood disorders, personality disorders, and learning disabilities as well as identifying gifted children through assessment testing. The goal is to work collaboratively with each individual in order to help them progress in their psychotherapy process.
