Yara Hourani

Psychotherapist

Verified

“As a licensed clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, I work with adolescents and adults experiencing emotional, relational, and life challenges. I offer a safe, reflective and confidential therapeutic space to explore psychological distress, recurring patterns, and support personal growth.”

About Me

As a therapist, my work is guided by clinical rigor and respect for each person’s unique experience. I have worked in both humanitarian and private practice contexts, which has shaped a flexible and thoughtful approach to therapy. I work with adolescents and adults, focusing on understanding emotional difficulties within the broader context of relationships, life history, current circumstances, and supporting change through reflective therapeutic work.

Approach

My approach is grounded in careful listening and collaborative exploration. I shape each session around your immediate concerns while keeping sight of longer-term patterns and strengths. Therapy provides space to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences that influence daily life and decision-making, supporting meaningful change through reflection and dialogue. The process is tailored to each individual’s needs, pace, and goals.
