Nabavi was 25 at the time.He had drugs and drug paraphernalia with him. Police reportedly found meth, marijuana, a hunting knife, a handgun and ammunition in his car.Nabavi pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of possession of a controlled substance.Shortly after his conviction and while on probation, he was again found in possession of a controlled substance, leading to a June 2002 conviction. That arrest reportedly involved meth and narcotics paraphernalia, and he again pleaded no contest.He was given 36 months probation for each case.In 2004, his initial bid to be licensed by the state psychology board was blocked because of the two arrests, board records show.However, 16 months later, he was allowed to register on probationary terms under strict conditions, including a psychological evaluation, working under strict supervision, abstaining from drug and alcohol use, undergoing random fluid testing, and participating in alcohol and drug use programs.Rehabilitation and Career RebuildingThe 2008 filing states that Nabavi had made great strides in his rehabilitation and had been clean and sober since May 31, 2002.Since then, he completed his higher education, including a master's degree and a doctorate. He regularly participated in Narcotics Anonymous and sponsored others battling addiction.Nabavi convinced the psychology board at a hearing to end the probationary period. He acknowledged his responsibility for his past misconduct and recognized that he cannot use drugs or alcohol even recreationally.This allowed him to start in private practice and, in 2013, establish Resolutions Living.The Daily Mail has reached out to Nabavi for comment.
