Somayeh published seven articles in international journals and presented them at international conferences; she also worked as a research assistant in several health and mental health projects.
In her current practice, Somayeh specializes in working with adults and teenagers (diagnosis and treatment). Her therapeutic work is based on a narrative therapy approach. She uses a life narrative analysis as a psychotherapeutic perspective and psychological assessment with qualitative methods like life narrative interview, creative writing, and narrative inquiry. With the narrative therapy approach, she believes cultural and social differences can be one part of the client’s life story that can be analyzed cooperatively.
