About me
I am a health psychologist with a doctorate and postdoctoral research experience at Université Paris Cité, specializing in the mental health of vulnerable and migrant populations.
Over more than a decade of clinical and fieldwork — across Afghanistan, Iran, Bangladesh, and France — I have seen how often psychological support remains out of reach for Persian-speaking communities, wherever they live. Whether you are a clinician in Tehran, Kabul, or Paris, the challenge is the same: how do we offer better, more accessible, more human care in a world shaped by technology?
Today, I work at the intersection of mental health and artificial intelligence — building practical tools and delivering training for mental health professionals who want to integrate AI into their practice thoughtfully and ethically. Salamatai is my answer to that question — a space to learn, build, and rethink what mental health support can look like when AI is used with care.
