About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a registered medical doctor based in Achrafiyeh, Beirut, Lebanon and as Jounieh, Lebanon. I also do online consultations and therapy sessions. The modality of therapy includes primarily expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an eclectic basis for the support of individuals struggling with stressful periods, break-ups, divorce and relationship issues with partners and family members. As a cognitive behavioral therapist, the majority of my work tackles anxiety in all its presentations whether general, social obsessive compulsive in nature, phobias and panic attacks with or without agoraphobia. Mood disorders and personality disorders constitute a big portion of my clients' purpose of presenting to my center. At my center we offer psychological diagnostic assessments and psychometric testing. My team mates at my center provide trauma based therapies and CBT-E for eating disorders. Couples therapy is a very common request as well. For any questions you may have, feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to answer the soonest I can. I speak fluent Arabic, French and English.

Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is an evidence based technique that is goal oriented and focuses on the here and now. This is the approach I was trained in at the Beck Institute and that I have been using since 2009 when I graduated and also trained at the American University of Beirut for the treatment of older adolescents, adults as well as individuals from minority and marginalized communities such as LGBTQIA+ providing support, NOT sexual orientation change ! I am grateful I have had excellent results with most of the clients I worked with. Sometimes they would fully get over their challenges or at least they would get a great deal of improvement. When necessary, and if it is for the best of my client, I would refer them to other therapists.
