Mariam ElSaadani

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field in Egypt and Montreal. Throughout my years of work, I have had the honor of helping people from all walks of life. I work with individuals, 17 years of age and older. My training allows me to work with any presenting issues, especially trauma. A few of the presenting problems I am able to work with are loss, grief, immigration, relationship difficulties, career uncertainty, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, life transitions and adjustments, identity issues and trauma; acute, chronic or complex trauma. My practice is based in Psychodynamic theory, which I use to develop an understanding of my clients and their presenting issues. Psychodynamic theory operates on the premise that the unconscious part of the mind influences thoughts, emotions and behavior. Therefore, the therapeutic process often involves looking at past experiences, including childhood experiences.
