Clinical Psychologist

“clinical psychologist adult , anxiety, depression, CBT ,DBT therapy and family consultant 15 Year for experience”

About Me

As a clinical psychologist and CBT ,DBT psychotherapist, I help adults, children, and families find clarity and build resilience. With 15 years of experience, I offer practical, evidence-based tools for navigating difficult thoughts and behaviours. We can work together to understand patterns, develop new coping strategies, and foster stronger communication across generations. My aim is to provide a supportive space where you can gain lasting positive change.

Approach

Sessions follow a structured, practical rhythm that balances thorough assessment with hands-on skill practice, moving at a pace you set. In Cairo or online, in Arabic, I use clear measures and short exercises between meetings to track changes and tailor steps for psychosis-related difficulties. Work is collaborative and focused: brief experiments, communication drills with family members when helpful, and steady review of progress to reduce distress and strengthen daily coping. People seeking measurable, steady improvement across ages tend to find this approach helpful.
