Why This Training?
Many clients present with persistent physical symptoms that lack a clear medical explanation—such as chronic pain, fatigue, or neurological-like symptoms. These experiences, often described as Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS), may fall under diagnostic categories including Somatic Symptom Disorder.
Clients living with MUS frequently feel dismissed, disbelieved, or hopeless, while providers may feel uncertain or fatigued when conventional approaches don’t bring relief.

Yasaman Madanikia is the Founder and Clinical Director of Expressions Counselling, a multi-site practice across British Columbia. With extensive experience in trauma-informed care, EMDR, and attachment-based integrative approaches, Yasaman brings a wealth of clinical expertise to working with complex presentations such as chronic pain, trauma, and medically unexplained symptoms. She has worked in community mental health, hospitals, and private practice settings, and is deeply committed to bridging evidence-based practices with holistic care. Yasaman has also been working as a psychometrist, contributing to disability assessments across a range of presentations, which further informs her understanding of the complexities clients face. Through her clinical and leadership work, she identified a significant gap in care for individuals with medically unexplained symptoms and is passionate about getting the conversation started in this important area of practice. Yasaman is also a doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology, currently completing her residency year, and working toward registration as a psychologist. She hopes that as a psychologist she can continue to contribute meaningfully to the field and expand conversations around integrative approaches to complex presentations.
