I am Reza Mohaghegh, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Clinical Supervisor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) in Canada, and a specialist in psychiatry and couples therapy from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. My professional journey began in 1991, after graduating from Tehran University’s Faculty of Medicine. During those early years, I taught at the Faculty of Psychology at Islamic Azad University (Karaj Branch) while practicing psychiatry in various hospitals and mental health centers. I also played a key role in establishing the psychiatry department at Tehran Pars Hospital. In Iran, I collaborated extensively with the State Welfare Organization (Behzisti) in the field of addiction treatment, where I designed treatment and group therapy programs and founded the Family Counselling Unit for individuals in recovery. Later, I established a private inpatient psychiatric and rehabilitation center, providing psychiatric and counselling services to patients and their families. After completing specialized family therapy training, I founded a Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Center in Tehran’s Mirdamad district, where for more than 15 years, I provided therapy and counselling for couples and families. My therapeutic work has focused on enhancing self-awareness, fostering emotional responsibility, improving communications, enhancing life skills, and resolving conflicts in Couples relationships. My areas of expertise include the treatment of anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), stress, personality disorders, sexual dysfunctions, and substance addiction. Since immigrating to Canada in 2017, I’ve registered as a clinical counsellor and admit clients in-person or online. I also have been actively involved in volunteer collaborations with community and non-profit organizations in Vancouver, conducting seminars and workshops that promote mental health, healthy living, and conscious relationships within both the Iranian and multicultural communities. Beyond my clinical work, I have a deep interest in philosophy, sociology, literature, and art. My studies have explored existential philosophy, social psychology, mythology, and the analysis of literary and cinematic works. I am also engaged in social justice and civic activism, believing that personal growth is deeply connected to collective progress. My efforts are devoted to raising awareness, combating discrimination, and advocating for gender equality.
