Welcome to my Practice

Therapy holds space to explore and deconstruct the inherited story of the self. To destigmatise pain and safely feel, connect, and grow.

My Approach

My name is Youmna and I am a Clinical Psychologist with accreditation from the Ministry of Health and Lebanese Order of Psychologists (LOPsy).

I am a present, compassionate, and cross-cultural therapist. I chose to become a clinical psychologist after over a decade in the humanitarian sector. I am a firm believer in individual and collective emotional and cognitive connection.

Therapy is a collaborative, allied, and judgement-free journey between the therapist and the client. It provides a corrective and kind experience to reflect, push through fear, develop a deeper emotional connection, and rewire thoughts and patterns that no longer serve you in the present and future.

I aim to support individuals and groups in reclaiming their narratives and discovering their inner strength and resources, so they are equipped with long-lasting awareness, healthy boundaries, and tools to navigate stressors and uncertainties in a demanding, fast-paced, cutthroat environment.

I believe the ultimate goal of therapy is to unlearn to re-learn, restore connection and harmony between the self and the environment, strengthen natural intelligence, solidify new coping styles, and rebuild trust as continous challenges are inevitable.

My areas of expertise

Ethics​

I work ethically and aim to empower you to work in a way that is aligned with your own values and ethics and for you to make your own decisions. I prefer to work in a way that is guided by the client, however I can also provide scaffolding during sessions if you find it challenging to pinpoint on what you would like to work on.

All sessions are strictly confidential, should I bring your case to supervision to discuss strategies and best practice, your privacy will be protected and full names are not used. The main exception to confidentiality is when there may be serious risk of harm or danger to yourself or others. However I will always let you know before I disclose your details to a third party.

I value inclusivity and aim to respond to your own individual needs.

What my clients say

“Extremely present and responsive team of providers. You can feel they are here to help you improve your quality of life, whether that is working to find a medication with them or continuing therapy and alternative life changes outside of this practice.”

Mental Care has an online platform that is easy to maneuver. Overall my experience has been great being that it is my first time going to therapy/ tele therapy. I appreciate how safe and comfortable my therapist has makes me feel.

This is an incredible practice with highly skilled providers who attend appointments on time and who successfully balance efficiency with warm, empathic care. Highly recommend!!

Without good mental health, it can be difficult to manage daily stressors and challenges, which can lead to negative consequences in all areas of life.
