About
Dr. Laleh Mehrad

I specialize in trauma, couples and family therapy, and individual growth. My work integrates evidence-based psychology with somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, while remaining deeply rooted in depth psychology. I believe lasting healing begins with understanding the unconscious patterns that shape our emotions, relationships, and life choices. 

 

Whether through psychotherapy or coaching, I help people move beyond survival, process unresolved trauma, deepen self-awareness, build healthier relationships, and create lives that reflect their values rather than their wounds. 

 

My work is grounded in a deep commitment to human dignity and guided by three core values: awareness, social justice, and freedom. Inspired by Liberation Psychology, I believe we cannot fully understand psychological suffering without also acknowledging the social, cultural, and systemic conditions that can contribute to it.

 

Beyond my clinical practice, I teach doctoral and graduate courses in trauma, family therapy, group therapy, forensic psychology, and related areas. I conduct research, write books, and lead workshops, seminars, webinars, and professional training for both clinicians and the public. 

 

I am also actively involved in humanitarian and advocacy initiatives supporting survivors of trauma, promoting suicide prevention, advancing gender equality, and expanding access to mental health care for underserved communities. Through television, podcasts, books, international media, YouTube, and social media, my educational work has reached millions of people around the world. 

 

I work with clients worldwide and offer trauma-informed services in both English and Farsi. I believe trauma is often best processed in the language in which it was experienced.
