Mahra salem alali

I am a DHA-licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 8 years of experience providing psychological assessment and evidence-based therapy to adolescents and adults. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the United Arab Emirates University and have worked across inpatient, outpatient, and addiction treatment settings within the UAE. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and substance use-related challenges. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore their concerns and work toward meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. I utilize evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, motivational interviewing, and other integrative therapeutic techniques. I also provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) under clinical supervision for individuals struggling with eating and body image concerns. In addition to my general clinical practice, I have extensive experience working in addiction and recovery services, supporting individuals and their families through the challenges associated with substance use and long-term recovery. As a bilingual therapist fluent in both Arabic and English, I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive and accessible mental health care. My goal is to help clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, gain deeper self-understanding, and improve their overall psychological wellbeing and quality of life.
