Shahin Sakhi, M.D., Ph.D.

I’m a psychiatrist in private practice, clinical faculty at UCLA Psychiatry Dept, and President of Los Angeles Center for educational therapy. I am an Interactive Metronome provider. I provide supervision to other mental health workers. I teach group dynamics and direct experiential group learning workshops and conferences. I provide consultation to organizations and businesses.

I pay attention to an individual or a group as a whole, who themselves are comprised of parts or organ systems in dynamic relations in the context of living in a larger socio-politico-cultural system. No individual is better or worse human being. Each individual has a unique life.
