About ME

S M Rakibul Hasan
Passionate Psychologist and Author
As a committed and enthusiastic psychology professional, I offer a depth of expertise to the work I do. With a Master of Science in Psychology from Dhaka University, I have made it my mission to comprehend and improve mental health. My broad range of research interests includes self-destructive behaviors, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), marital and family therapy, learning and memory, mental health in the digital age, cognition, and neuroscience.
My academic journey has been enriched by active participation in research and a myriad of real-world encounters. I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of community-driven initiatives as the founder and chief coordinator of the “Torjoni Foundation,” a non-profit in Dhaka, Bangladesh, dedicated to serving street children with developmental disabilities. Additionally, I spearheaded the Dhaka University Psychology Research Club, where we delved into the latest advancements in psychological science.
In my role as a Psychologist at Restart Mental Health Service, I’ve had the privilege of putting my skills into practice, conducting relationship counseling sessions, family therapy, and expert counseling for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This holistic approach aims to promote happiness and foster deep, meaningful relationships.
I am deeply committed to expanding our understanding of human psychology and possess a diverse skill set, including expertise in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Family Therapy, Tele-Mental Health, and more. My proficiency in research methodology, report writing, and public speaking allows me to effectively communicate complex ideas and findings. Additionally, my proficiency in SPSS, Microsoft Office Suite (including PowerPoint and Excel), and research design enables me to conduct rigorous and comprehensive research studies.
I am passionate about collaborating with like-minded individuals to explore the myriad opportunities that arise when psychology, science, and volunteer work intersect. Let’s embark on this journey together and uncover new insights into the complexities of the human mind.
