About Dr. Naghmeh Nobahar
Dr. Shabnam Nobahar unites the analytical precision of engineering with the empathy and depth of clinical psychology. Her professional journey began in software engineering, where she developed a fascination with systems, logic, and design. Yet her lifelong curiosity about the human inner world—how people think, feel, and find meaning—led her to pivot toward psychology.
Today, as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in British Columbia, Dr. Nobahar provides therapy that bridges the worlds of technology, emotion, and personal transformation. She helps individuals, couples, and adolescents cultivate emotional insight, resilience, and authentic self-connection.
