Haifa Behbahani

When life feels heavy or your mind just won’t slow down, CBT offers a way to make sense of it all. Haifa uses this approach to help you explore how your thoughts shape your emotions and actions — especially when anxiety, self-doubt, or past experiences are taking up too much space. Together, you’ll notice the patterns that keep you stuck and gently work to shift them, one step at a time. You’ll leave sessions with practical tools and deeper insight, feeling more grounded and in control of your emotional world.

Sometimes, words aren’t enough — especially when your body holds the stress, tension, or pain of what you’ve been through. Haifa uses Somatic Experiencing to help you slow down and tune in. Maybe you carry anxiety in your chest, or feel on edge without knowing why. In this work, we listen to the body’s cues, giving space for healing that doesn’t rely on pushing through or figuring it all out. Over time, this process helps you feel safer in your body, more present in your life, and more connected to yourself.

When you’re feeling stuck, it can be hard to see a way forward. SFT helps shift the focus from what’s not working to what is. Haifa uses this approach to help you recognize your strengths, uncover small but meaningful changes, and build on the parts of your life that are already moving in the right direction. It’s a hopeful, empowering approach — one that reminds you that healing doesn’t always require digging into the past; sometimes, it starts with noticing what’s possible right now.

Mindfulness invites clients to slow down and observe their thoughts and feelings with curiosity and compassion. This practice cultivates presence, reduces reactivity, and enhances emotional clarity and self-awareness.
