Description
For our first episode of 2024 we present an interview conducted during our trip to Chicago with Dr. Hooman Keshavarzi, Founder of Khalil Center. Dr. Keshavarzi discusses his journey to become a clinical psychologist and how he integrated his studies in Islamic theology and spirituality towards creating an optimal, holistic model of mental health care and wellness. Dr. Keshavarzi's insight and in-depth of knowledge of Western and Islamic modalities of psychology made for a wide ranging conversation exploring physical, mental and metaphysical approaches to wellness and the variety of services and care that Khalil Center provides. We were fortunate to sit and record our conversation at Khalil Center's headquarters in Lombard, Illinois.
