Bijan was trained as a microbiologist and epidemiologist. He has 20 years of experience in biomedical research as well as 13 years of experience in various leadership positions in an academic research setting. He is a child and family advocate and founded CCMF-York as a way to close the gap for services for men’s mental health.
I am a Program Coordinator and Case Manager at CCMF- York, providing client-centered support and coordinating community-based programs and services. I hold a Master’s degree in Sociology, with an academic background focused on social development and community well-being. I have also worked as a Farsi official translator, supporting documentation and case registration processes. My experience combines social services practice, research knowledge, and cross-cultural communication.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist with 5+ years of experience working with individuals and couples. I specialize in areas such as anxiety, relationships, and life transitions, helping clients build insight and resilience. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities including CBT and psychodynamic therapy. I offer a collaborative, compassionate space tailored to each client’s unique needs.
From the beginning of my career in therapy, I’ve worked mostly with men. I keep up with men’s issues and with research on working with men in therapy.
I lead a team of therapists at Guys Resolve, supervise practicum students, and have specialized training in Couples Counselling and Sex Therapy, Anger Management, behavioural addictions (mostly working with sex and porn), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for the treatment of traumatic memories and PTSD. My sessions are professional, with a friendly, casual feel. Therapy doesn’t always need to feel like therapy; often, it can feel like a good conversation.
6+ years of experience practicing psychotherapy, using CBT, ACT, DBT, and EFT.
Married for 10+ years and father of 1 young child.
