Through Poly Therapist, she applies a multiculturally aware, evidence-based, and trauma informed approach. Her services include psychotherapy, speaking engagements, and consulting. In addition to polyamorous folk, Dr. Badiee specializes in Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQQIAAP+ folk, and/or people with ADHD. Her identities as Iranian American, bisexual, polyamorous, and femme shape and inform her work.

Dr. Badiee is an educator, scholar, psychologist, and practitioner of polyamory. As an educator, she has conducted speaking engagements to a wide variety of audiences, including therapists, community agencies, and polyamorous groups. Her scholarly work includes a chapter on polyamory in the Encyclopedia of Marriage, Family and Couples Counseling and a scientific manuscript co-authored with Evita Sawyers entitled “Black Queer Femme and Non-Binary Individuals' Polyamory: An Act of Revolution (revised and resubmitted to the journal Sexualities). As a psychologist, Dr. Badiee has provided psychotherapy to polyamorous individuals, couples, and polycules for over a decade. She aims to change the mainstream discourse on polyamory by centering polyamorous BIPOC in her scholarly and therapeutic work. Dr. Badiee has officially practiced polyamory since 2011, but to some extent, identified with it for her entire adult life. She is grateful to have two amazing life partners. In her spare time, Dr. Badiee enjoys hanging out with her fur babies, coloring, integrating mindfulness into all aspects of her life, and watching Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
