Khishtan Psychoanalysis Association
The self is the unique entity of self and body that finds its existential meaning through interaction with oneself, others, and the world; it is a core that is both nourished from the depths of the unconscious and spreads the light of self-knowledge in consciousness.
At Khishtan, with expert advice and psychological tools, we help you find a better path to life and a calmer mind.
Khishtan Services
We provide our services in a wide range of areas, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and parent education. At the same time, we focus on enhancing the quality of professional work among therapists in this field. One of our goals is to create a supportive network for therapists so they can accompany and assist one another along their professional journey.
In addition, with a special focus on the psychological needs of Persian-speaking immigrants, we strive to provide a safe, accessible, and high-quality space to address the mental health challenges caused by migration. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards and to protecting the rights of clients throughout the therapeutic process.
Our Target
Our goal is to provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy of global standards to Persian speakers around the world—psychotherapy that is deep, specialized, and humane, directly engaging with the most vital dimension of human existence: the unconscious mind. Therefore, we collaborate only with therapists who have received professional training and supervision, and who have also pursued their own path of psychological maturity through personal therapy.
Our Vision
At the Khishtan Psychoanalysis Association, we believe that the growth of individual awareness forms the foundation of mental and social well-being. Our vision is to build a trustworthy and humane bridge among Persian speakers around the world, with the aim of providing a safe space for dialogue, psychotherapy, and psychological education. We aspire to a world where conscious connections between people, the improvement of family relationships, and the breaking of unhealthy intergenerational cycles pave the way for collective health and growth. We believe that every step toward awareness is a step toward a healthier and more humane society.
You too can become a member of the Khishtan family.
