Maliheh is a mental health professional at Riva Clinic who supports adults navigating a wide range of emotional, psychological, and relational challenges. She provides a warm, collaborative, and evidence-informed approach to therapy, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences openly and without judgment.

Maliheh works with individuals experiencing anxiety and chronic stress, depression, adult ADHD, trauma and post-traumatic stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, difficulties with emotional regulation, anger management, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and significant life transitions. She recognizes that each person brings a unique combination of experiences, strengths, relationships, and circumstances to therapy, and she tailors her approach accordingly.

Her therapeutic work integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred principles, along with approaches informed by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She also incorporates mindfulness-based strategies when appropriate to help clients develop greater awareness, emotional regulation, and practical skills for navigating everyday challenges.

Maliheh believes therapy should provide a space where clients can be themselves without judgment, pressure, or the expectation of having everything figured out. She approaches the therapeutic relationship with compassion, curiosity, and respect, encouraging honest conversations and helping clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationship patterns.

Working collaboratively with each client, Maliheh helps identify personal strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and establish meaningful goals for therapy. Her approach is focused not only on addressing current difficulties but also on helping clients build resilience, strengthen emotional well-being, and develop skills that can support them beyond the therapy room.

Maliheh is committed to creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship in which clients feel seen, heard, and understood. She believes meaningful change can develop through greater self-awareness, compassionate exploration, and a collaborative therapeutic process that respects each client’s individual needs, values, and pace.
