Mrs Fatima Issa

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

A passionate, empathetic clinical psychologist with 5 years of experience in working with children, adolescents, and young adults dealing with anxieties, mood disorders, traumas, and borderline personality disorder. My main approachEs in therapy are CBT and humanistic.

About Me

I offer a supportive space for children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxieties, mood shifts, and past traumas. With five years of experience, I understand the unique challenges you face. We can explore thoughts and feelings using practical tools from CBT. My aim is to create a safe environment where you feel truly heard. This blend supports those dealing with complex emotions, helping you find a way towards greater well-being.

Approach

Sessions move between structured skill-building and open, empathic reflection so you can practice new ways of coping while feeling understood. In Beirut or online, in Arabic or English, I keep sessions paced to your needs—sometimes brief experiments in thought‑tracking, other times gentle mapping of past experiences—with occasional short tasks or check‑ins between meetings to track progress. I use assessment and clear psychoeducation to guide decisions, collaborating with families when helpful. This approach tends to suit young people and parents seeking practical, steady change.
