Golzar Selbe Naghshineh, LP is a training and supervising licensed Psychoanalyst, group psychotherapist and teaching faculty at the New York Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies in New York City.
Naghshineh has special expertise in the areas of reproductive and maternal mental health. She created and built NAPS, which she launched in 2014 at the renowned Downtown Women OBGYN practice in New York City, where she is the Director of Reproductive and Perinatal Mental Health.
Naghshineh completed her psychoanalytic training at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies and her group psychotherapy training at the Center for Group Studies. She also attended the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis for her doctorate in Psychoanalysis (ABD), where her in-progress dissertation examines the impact of online, virtual and hybrid psychoanalytic group therapy models. Naghshineh also holds a master’s degree in Nonprofit Management from the New School University.
She began developing NAPS in response to her work as a DONA trained birth and postpartum doula. Her experience with women prenatal and postpartum and her deep understanding of their needs lent her to recognize the necessity in building an OBGYN in-house intervention system. To meet patient needs, she built a platform that troubleshoots common prenatal and postpartum concerns, while also offering effective mental health care and intervention.
Golzar also works as an individual, group and couples psychoanalyst with patients in her private practice PSNYC. While she specializes in the reproductive spectrum, she works with patients at any stage of life and runs multiple psychodynamic psychotherapy groups for general populations.
Naghshineh has presented at American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA), International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA), Jones Foundation Infertility Counseling Conference (JFICC), Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR), and the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) among other places. She has a forthcoming article in the journal Studies in Gender and Sexuality on Psychoanalytic Considerations on the Impact of Infertility, IVF, and the Politicization of Pregnancy on the Psyche.
