Shireen Ghanatabadi is a trauma and psychedelic assisted psychotherapist, who comes from an eclectic background professionally and personally. She integrates somatic experiencing, intentional embodied movement, ecotherapy, parts work, art, plant medicine, and energy & depth work into her healing practice. Shireen has experience working with folks struggling with a variety of traumas, eating disorders and folks who identify as immigrants (including the generations that follow), multi-racial, mixed heritage, multi-cultural, and/or multi-religious/spiritual—as well as the challenges that may exists within those layers.

As a first generation, Iranian-American, mixed-heritage and multi-religious/spiritual human, Shireen is dedicated to using an anti-racist, decolonizing, and non-pathologizing  lens when working with fellow humans and moving through life. She received a BS in Psychology with an emphasis in Kinesiology from the University of MN, a MA in Counseling and Psychological Services from Saint Mary’s, and she completed a certificate program at CIIS for Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy and Research in the spring of 2022. She is trained in Somatic Experiencing, Phase 1 Brainspotting and is a certified personal trainer, which she integrates into her healing work. As an energy worker, she combines Shafaa Magi (Persian healing) and Reiki (Japanese healing art form) when practicing energy work with others. 

Shireen’s passion for holding the unconditional and supportive space in the way she does stems from the ups and downs in her own healing joinery, and the magic that comes from unearthing our authentic and embodied inner healing wisdom.
