Dr. Sheaneh Sattari

“No problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it” - Albert Einstein

 

I am fascinated by the intricacies of human behavior and the workings of the mind, which led me to pursue a career in psychology rooted in my background in neuroscience. My journey in this field has been driven by an insatiable curiosity to understand what shapes us into who we are.

 

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse array of patients, guiding them through their challenges and helping them find answers and solutions. I firmly believe that psychology holds the key to raising awareness about our thought processes, leading to greater self-understanding and personal growth.

 

My focus lies predominantly in psychological evaluations of infants, toddlers, and children, where I offer diagnostic recommendations to assist families in addressing problematic behaviors effectively. As such, I specialize in providing evidence-based treatments such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for young children with behavioral issues.

 

I have honed my expertise in early diagnoses of neurodevelopmental disabilities, particularly autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and have experience in evaluating other conditions such as ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression. My approach to treatment is grounded in empathy, understanding, and tailored care, with a commitment to supporting each individual’s unique journey to health and well-being.
