Mehrdad “Pejman” Talakar
Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia and Mehrpath’s clinical and curriculum lead. Pejman guides the educational frameworks and keeps the work grounded in respectful, practical counselling principles.
Clinical care meets thoughtful product design.
Mehrpath was founded by Mehrdad “Pejman” Talakar, a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia, and Ali Elmi, a product and engineering lead based in Brisbane, Australia. Together they build practical, bilingual education and wellness programs for the moments when understanding yourself — and each other — can make a difference.
“Mehr” is a Persian word for kindness, love and light. Mehrpath is the path of kindness — practical support delivered with warmth, for people, parents, teens and families.
Mehrpath turns complex ideas into small, usable steps: understand what’s happening, reflect on your own patterns, and practise something different — with respect for culture, context and the different ways people learn.
Mehrpath’s programs are education and wellness resources. They are not therapy, medical care, diagnosis or treatment, and they are not a crisis service. If you are in a mental health crisis in Canada, call or text 9-8-8 at any time.
