Dr. Meisam Haghighi, PhD

Psychologist
WA
I’ve spent most of my life in the Pacific Northwest, and as a first-generation American, my journey has been shaped by a wide range of experiences. I earned my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Washington State University in 2021. What first drew me to psychology was recognizing it as an applied science—something that could make sense of human experiences in a practical, meaningful way. Since then, my path has taken many turns, and at every step I’ve come to believe even more strongly that there’s no such thing as “irrationality.” Every thought, emotion, behavior, and decision is part of a cause-and-effect dynamic. When something seems irrational, it usually means we just haven’t looked closely enough. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients uncover these deeper patterns, so they can better understand themselves and move forward with clarity and compassion. Everyone’s life is a wondrous story, shaped by a unique blend of experiences, biology, and culture. Along this path, many of us carry wounds from unmet emotional needs, which can manifest as insecurities, personality traits, or mental health challenges. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can collaborate to disentangle these threads. Together, we’ll explore the experiences that have shaped you, connect the dots to make sense of what may seem contradictory, and facilitate a deeper understanding of your journey. I challenge my clients with empathy, ensuring they feel supported and never judged. My goal is to transform insights into practical steps for daily life, offering realistic hope and guiding you through your healing journey. I emphasize that while the path may be challenging, it’s absolutely possible. I generally approach therapy through Interpersonal Process Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy, conceptualizing from an attachment perspective.
