Dr. Farnoush Khaledi is a psychologist and analytic psychotherapist whose work focuses on the complex relationship between psychological life, the body, and human relationships. Her clinical approach is grounded in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking, with an emphasis on understanding the unconscious processes that shape how people experience themselves, their bodies, their emotions, and their relationships with others.
In her psychotherapy practice, Dr. Khaledi works with individuals experiencing emotional distress, relational difficulties, life transitions, loss, and periods of uncertainty and change. She is particularly interested in the ways psychological experiences may be communicated through the body, and in helping individuals develop a deeper awareness of their inner experiences rather than simply seeking to eliminate uncomfortable emotions or symptoms.
Dr. Khaledi is also engaged in educational and community-based work in the field of mental health. She develops and facilitates educational programs that bring together psychological insight, experiential practices, and mind-body awareness. Her work emphasizes the capacity of individuals to reconnect with their own internal resources, particularly during times of crisis and transition.
She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and has advanced training in analytic psychotherapy. Alongside her clinical work, she writes and creates educational content about psychology, psychoanalysis, emotional life, and the mind-body relationship, with the aim of making complex psychological ideas accessible without reducing their depth.
Beyond her professional work, Dr. Khaledi is drawn to literature, art, Iranian cultural heritage, and the ways in which creativity can become a language for inner experience. She is deeply interested in the human capacity to create meaning, maintain connection, and find new possibilities for growth even in the midst of uncertainty.
