Care, in your language.
Ravanbarvar is the bilingual practice of Dr. Katayoun Helmi — video psychotherapy, secure messaging, and structured between-session work, in Persian and English.
How it works
Quiet, structured care from first message to first session and beyond.
1. Reach out
Send us a message on Telegram or via the website. We'll learn what you're looking for and match you with a therapist who fits.
2. Pick a time
Choose an appointment that works for your schedule. Sessions are 50 minutes by default; intro consultations are shorter.
3. Meet by video
Secure end-to-end-encrypted video sessions from any device. In-person availability depends on your therapist.
4. Keep growing
Between sessions, track your mood, message your therapist, and complete clinically-grounded workbooks tailored to your goals.
