Fariba Goshtaey
Co-Founder and Psychologist
A psychologist and psychotherapist with over 14 years of experience in education, counseling, therapy, and couples therapy. As a Registered Clinical Counselor (RCC) in Canada and a member of the American Psychological Association (APA), as well as the founder of the successful Puzzle Self-Discovery courses in Iran, I believe that psychotherapy is not just about treating emotional issues but also an opportunity for growth, transformation, and deeper self-exploration.
I am deeply passionate about psychology. My background in IT, along with my interest in travel, music, art, history, and politics, has given me a broad and creative perspective. This multidimensional approach allows me to understand the human psyche beyond traditional frameworks, delve into the depths of the mind and emotions, and tailor a therapeutic path unique to each individual.
My Therapeutic Approaches
-
Psychoanalytic & Psychodynamic Therapy – Exploring the unconscious roots of psychological issues
-
ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) – Identifying and overcoming emotional barriers
-
Existential Therapy – Finding meaning and purpose in life
-
CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) – Changing maladaptive thought and behavior patterns
-
Transdiagnostic Approach – Addressing psychological issues beyond conventional clinical diagnoses
Goals of Psychotherapy & Self-Discovery Courses
In therapy sessions, I create a safe and supportive space where individuals can overcome mental barriers, deeply explore themselves, and reach their highest potential. In couples therapy, I help partners build healthier communication patterns, understand conflicts better, and strengthen their emotional bond. My self-discovery courses go beyond knowledge transfer; they offer an inner journey into the unconscious, freeing oneself from outdated beliefs, and embracing deep transformations.
My Ethical Commitment
I am committed to professional confidentiality, respect for individual differences, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space in all my therapy sessions and courses. The trust and well-being of my clients are my top priorities.
✨ The journey within is the beginning of a path leading to peace, awareness, and flourishing. I am here to help you break free from negative cycles and transition toward a path of growth and self-actualization.
