Do you feel like there's a piece of you that's foggy? Is there a feeling so destructibly comforting that it's hard to pull away? Do you ever feel like wallpaper in a crowded room? Do the screams from your dreams keep you up at night, follow you in the morning, and sing off key during the day? Is life confusing, weird, and just too painful? Let's talk about it. Scream about it. Write about it. Cry about it. Hug plushies while we laugh about it. Whatever it is that you need in order to experience that release. My philosophy is that each and every human being has a unique and powerful story to tell. Lets hear your next chapter.

Your goals can become reality. Not only can you change for the better, but you can continue fulfillment in life past the walls of treatment. During treatment I hope to communicate that therapy does not have to be scary, sad, or judgmental. Instead, I aspire to create a safe space that allows clients to gain lasting insight and growth. Thus, as a trained professional and passionate individual, my mission is to foster self-sufficiency for my clients by promoting growth and success beyond the time of treatment.

My background in holistic psychology offers a strong foundation to view presenting issues from a broader context. My intention is to work with clients with a strengths-based approach and support them on their unique path.

My name is Mastaneh (Masti) Lashkari and I am the founder of The Psychology Projects. Over the course of my professional journey, I flourished in the banking industry for a decade and later thrived in pharmaceutical sales for another ten years, mastering various sales and managerial positions. Despite my accomplishments in these fields, my fascination with psychology remained unwavering. The intricate dance between conscious and unconscious phenomena, coupled with the profound impact of emotions and thoughts, captivated my interest deeply. Motivated by this passion, I resolved to pivot my career path towards psychotherapy.

I provide a holistic, integrative approach in healing to help clients achieve their personal goals by building a relationship based on empathy, trust, and care. As an integrative therapist, I strive to promote healing that looks at the whole person, through the prism of body, mind, and spirit, and considers all aspects of life that factor into one's well-being and pathway to happiness. I offer my services in a safe, comfortable and supportive environment, where I use a personalized approach tailored to each client's individual needs in an effort to help them attain personal growth.

In life, we often feel overwhelmed, out of control, or caught in patterns we can’t seem to escape. We may be affected by trauma, feel stuck in relationships, get caught in self defeating thought spirals or find that we are sabotaging ourselves. Many of us move around the world carrying secret struggles with negative thoughts, emotions, or urges, which disturb our day-to-day life and make waves in our relationships. Changing life circumstances-both positive (like the birth of a child) or negative (loss of a job)-can cause anxiety and strife.
