IMCES is associated with the International Visitors Council of Los Angeles, to host international delegates from around the world interested in our unique method of service delivery. We host delegates interested in how we conduct our integrated health and mental health services.
The International Visitors Council of Los Angeles (IVCLA) is a private, non-partisan, non-profit organization, which implements the U.S. Department of State International Visitor Leadership Program of professional and cultural exchanges. The purpose is to increase mutual understanding through communication at the personal and professional levels and thereby contribute to improving relations between the United States and other countries. These established or potential foreign leaders in government, politics, media, business, education, science, arts and other key fields are selected by American embassies overseas to visit the United States to meet and confer with their professional counterparts and to experience the U.S. first hand.
Tahereh Pirhekayaty, aka Dr. Tara Pir, as CEO of the Institute of Multicultural Counseling and Educational Services (IMCES) and President and Scientific Chair of the International Council of Psychologists (ICP), led the following international conferences:

The goal of international conferences is to facilitate accessibility for professionals around the world to participate, learn, and contribute to the wellness of our global communities. The conferences were well attended by members of the International Council of Psychology, representing over 80 countries. As Non Governmental Organizations associated with the United Nations, IMCES and ICP collaborate to promote human rights.
With Globalization We Are One Connected System
In response to evolving transitional changes of our time, Dr. Pir writes “In the 21st Century we live in a globalized world. This simply means people’s lives including economic, social, and families are impacted by not only local but global changes.”
One way to handle these transformational changes and challenges is to develop interactive professional relationships with other organizations on a local, national and international level.
IMCES makes every effort to adjust and transform our views and abilities to meet the new and emerging global needs of our citizens and clients. Dr. Pir has developed and presented research studies about different issues as it relates to human challenges and effective methods of interventions at international professional conferences. Also, she brings back information from these international conferences about effective solutions to our organization to provide further training and adjustments for the interest of worldview and clients emerging and evolving needs.
IMCES is an affiliated member of many international organizations including the United Nations as NGO/DPI and International Council of Psychologists. Also a member of APA, Division 52, 10 and 45.
