Getting to know Dr. Medisa Payvarpour

I appreciate working with a diverse population. I love collaborating with people who have the openness and willingness to make changes that improve the quality of their lives. I enjoy working with dreamers who are trying to create structure in their lives to focus their attention on the projects they are passionate about. I believe that mental illness can create some limitations, but my work centers on identifying individuals’ strengths and helping them flourish. In the past, I have worked with clients with severe psychotic disorders, using a variety of evidence-based techniques to help them manage their symptoms and live lives aligned with their values. I have also been involved in creating workshops to teach these evidence-based techniques to students and psychologists. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute and hold a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Davis. Outside of work, I love creating artwork such as Persian calligraphy, writing poetry, and playing the piano. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time with my dogs whenever I can. I also cherish spending time with my family and creating precious memories together.
