Reviews of Island Wellness Counselling (Psychologist)

Massoud Moslehi

"Massoud helped me to focus on what was important in recovering a sense of joy and self esteem in a time of transition. He fostered a safe and supportive environment and accepted what I said without judging me. I felt very comfortable in sharing my thoughts and feelings, and appreciated his support and encouragement. My experience with Massoud’s counsel resulted in my making positive change towards recovering a sense of wellness." "I just want to say … thank you for being here to help people like myself stay grounded in such tough times. It takes a lot of heart to listen to total strangers and their problems. I've personally found Mr. Moslehi very helpful in giving me ways to manage and balance my persistent pain levels, identifying key elements which are causing pain and giving me more tools to work with to help improve my quality of life. Mr. Moslehi is very compassionate and caring. He is very determined in trying to find relief for me and my family and I thank him for that :)" "I have been seeing Massoud for a few sessions now. His depth of understanding, the manner in which he brings together his extensive knowledge of different disciplines in order to help me address the barriers I face, the attention he pays, the dedication he shows in each and every interaction, the health he exudes, all of this provides me great confidence in placing my trust in Massoud to assist and guide my healing and growth. Massoud's professionalism, the application of his extensive training and experience, his ability to really listen and to draw out a client from a place of turmoil, and help them land in a place of understanding, is remarkable. He truly is a tremendous resource for our community." "I have been coming to see Mr. Moslehi for a little while now and the progress we have made far surpasses the impact all the other counsellors I've seen in the past put together. His genuine interest and desire to help really shows. I find him very easy to be open and honest with which makes each session a step in healing. I would highly recommend Mr. Moslehi and am very grateful for my experience with him."

I've worked with Massoud for over five years, referring youth to him for counselling who were working through a variety of mental health challenges. He has supported youth coming from diverse backgrounds and his role was transformative in them developing skills and healthy coping strategies to maintain their mental health. I highly recommend Massoud. Is he patient, calm and wise and puts those around him at ease.

Massoud is a skilled and compassionate therapist. He is a “life-long learner” who continually builds on his already deep knowledge base. I have no hesitation recommending him as a highly competent counsellor

I have worked with Massoud for the last 3.5yrs, including co-facilitating OCD treatment groups. I am inspired by genuine care, compassion and commitment to excellence for his clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Massoud for to any and all youth, adults, parents, couples and families looking for support.

Myself and husband saw Massoud for couples therapy. He was interactive with us and very aware of each of our emotional states. The sessions were not always pretty, but we felt comfortable to have those not so pretty moments with him. For me personally, I don’t think I have ever had someone really see what I was feeling. As well as understand that my thought process and understanding was fast when it came to arguments. I didn’t even know this. This did not match my partners thought process. He is a person that needs time to assess the situation. Both skills are fair, but realizing the differences between us has helped so much. Massoud has this calmness and thoughtfulness to him that I highly respect in a therapist. He is also straight forward with you and has a way of passing that information to you without it feeling threatening or accusatory. He also has a very kind face and i really appreciated him. Highly recommend.
