Yara is a compassionate Clinical Psychologist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, and emotional stress related to life transitions or health concerns.

She is dedicated to helping clients better understand themselves and supports clients in exploring the deeper meaning of their symptoms, emotional experiences and relational patterns.

Yara has further developed her expertise in psychological assessment and psychotherapy within a reputable center and multidisciplinary mental health teams in the UAE.

Yara has 5+ years of experience working in hospitals, private practice and community mental health centers. Prior to moving to Dubai in 2024, she worked at a Hospital University Medical Center where she specialized in psycho-oncology and palliative care.

In this role, she supported individuals undergoing long-term medical treatment and patients and families facing life-limiting illness. This experience shaped her deep understanding of grief, emotional pain, resilience, and the psychological impact of serious health conditions.

Her therapeutic work is grounded in a psychodynamic approach, focusing on understanding the deeper emotional roots of distress. Yara believes that meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive, and confidential therapeutic relationship.

In her sessions, she works collaboratively with clients to explore emotional patterns, relationships, and life experiences, helping them gain insight, build resilience, and create lasting change.

Yara offers a thoughtful, reflective, and supportive space where clients can feel understood and empowered to work toward greater emotional well-being.
