Dr. Raha Salehinia, PsyD

Dr. Salehinia is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Los Angeles. She got her doctoral degree from California School of Professional Psychology and completed two years of postdoctoral fellowship with extensive psychoanalytic training at Wright Institute Los Angeles. Her doctoral project focused on treating violent couples in highly conflictual relationships in a conjoint setting. Dr. Salehinia's psychoanalytic background inspires her to examine the role of narcissism, aggression, and sadomasochism in love relationships. Before her psychology education, she was fascinated with philosophy and dedicated much of her time to studying existential and Eastern philosophy. Incorporating the two subjects, she is intrigued to find a deeper meaning in a love relationship, emphasizing themes such as the freedom of choice, creativity, empowerment, innovation, radical honesty. She believes that individuals should thrive and not merely survive at the same time; she is also well aware of …the challenges of breaking boundaries.
