An in-depth interview with Professor Nooshin Saraeipour, LMFT, about narrative therapy. Professor Nooshin Saraeipour, LMFT, holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family therapy from Pepperdine University. She earned her Bachelor of Sciences in Agricultural Engineering in Iran, emphasizing food science and technology. She is currently working as an LMFT in her own private practice. She is also an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University’s on-campus program and online division. Throughout her journey as a therapist, she has gained valuable experience working with individuals, children, adolescents, and families in various settings such as private practice, nonprofit organizations, community clinics, and county-contracted outpatient agencies. Her passion and focus is working with issues unique to women experiencing difficulties in life stages, including marriage, intimate partner and relationship issues, self-image, pregnancy, motherhood, infertility, and immigration and acculturation issues. In other words, “empowering women” opens her heart and lifts her soul. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in postmodern and strengths-based therapy practices. She wholeheartedly believes in coming alongside her clients in their sacred healing path while recognizing each client's unique experience through a collaborative, curious, respectful, and empathic lens. She longs to help her clients give voice to their stories, articulate their challenges, and identify their strengths, knowledge, and new possibilities that are often overshadowed by problem stories so they can reclaim their preferred way of living. She connects to her curious and joyful spirit through travel, especially to the motherland, yoga, and quality time with her beloved son, friends, and family.
