Dr. Maedeh Vahed, Psychological Associate
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression & Trauma | Evidence-Based & Integrative Therapy | English & Farsi Therapy
Hi, I’m Dr. Maedeh Vahed, a registered Psychological Associate San Diego specializing in helping individuals with a broad range of psychological and emotional challenges. If you’re looking for a psychological associate San Diego who listens deeply, integrates evidence-based approaches, and tailors therapy to your goals, you’re in the right place.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, and personality-related issues. My approach is integrative: I draw primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. I also include psychodynamic principles to explore how early experiences and relational dynamics shape current emotional patterns.
Depending on your goals, I may also use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) or mindfulness-based interventions to help enhance emotional awareness, regulation, and resilience. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to healing—our work together will feel warm, safe, and non-judgmental, with sensitivity to cultural factors and your life story.
As a psychological associate San Diego, I offer therapy in both English and Farsi, making sure language and culture don’t become barriers. I support clients in deepening self-understanding, building psychological flexibility, and making meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
My educational background includes a Doctorate in Applied Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in Counselling. I’ve worked across many contexts, helping people navigate complex emotional terrain and transition periods. Whether you are just beginning therapy or have been in it before, I aim to meet you where you are and help you move toward wellness.
It is my privilege to accompany you in your journey toward greater resilience, emotional balance, and authentic living. If you are searching for a psychological associate San Diego who blends empathy with evidence-based practice, I’d be honored to support you.
