Parandis Hafezi

Psychotherapist in Training

Parandis has a deep curiosity about human behaviour. Since adolescence, she has wanted to understand what shapes people, how they see the world, and what may lie behind the things they find difficult to say. Her openness, warmth and curiosity help people confide in her. She is an exceptional listener, attentive to small details, and consistently non-judgemental.
Her bright energy is balanced by calmness, self-reflection and a willingness to question her own assumptions, qualities shaped by her upbringing in Iran. Her father encouraged exploration, introducing her to diverse people, places and cultures across the country. This adventurous spirit led her from Tehran to Switzerland and Italy. The strong women in her family instilled the values of kindness, attentive listening and thoughtful communication.
As a psychotherapist-in-training, Parandis is dedicated to ongoing learning. She is inspired by Iranian psychologist Parirokh Dadsetan and is particularly interested in systemic family therapy and the cultural factors influencing addiction and recovery. Outside of NEOVIVA, she enjoys horse riding, walking her husky, reading psychology literature, and exploring historic cities.
