Amin Nazmuddin Mohammadi, M.Psy., RP. (he/him)

Doctoral Practicum Student

Amin is a Doctoral Practicum Student at Step Stone Psychology, where he provides assessment and therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. He is a Registered Psychotherapist and is completing his Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology at Adler Graduate Professional School, following his Master of Psychology (M.Psy.) at Adler and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Psychology and Genetics at the University of Toronto.

Amin has trained and provided services in a variety of clinical settings, including private practice, live-in treatment facilities, and rehabilitation programs. Through these roles, Amin has supported individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictive behaviours, chronic pain, and difficulties with emotional regulation and motivation. He has also worked with refugees and newcomers adjusting to new cultural contexts, and with clients recovering from motor vehicle accidents as they rebuild their lives and cope with ongoing pain and functional limitations. Amin has a particular passion for working with individuals who are navigating the pressures of academic, work, and life transitions, as well as challenges in their relationships with family, friends, and partners. His experience includes facilitating group therapy for adolescents in residential care, such as interpersonal process groups, DBT skills training, and psychoeducational programs for addictive behaviours, alongside his individual therapy work with youth and adults in community and clinical settings.

In therapy, Amin takes a warm, collaborative, and client-centred approach. He integrates evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and psychodynamic and existential perspectives. His stance is trauma-informed and grounded in helping clients not only manage symptoms but also deepen their understanding of themselves, strengthen resilience, and move toward meaningful growth.

Alongside his clinical work, Amin’s doctoral research concentrates on the incorporation of psychotherapy within psychedelic-assisted treatment for alcohol use disorder. This reflects his wider interest in innovative and holistic approaches to mental health care that integrate evidence-based science with human experience.
