Psychologist Dubai: Age Rules

Finding a Psychologist Dubai

A search for “psychologist Dubai” returns a map full of pins. At The Valens Clinic, age picks the pin before distance does. Adults book the Business Bay clinic. Children and teenagers book Young Valens on Al Wasl Road in Jumeirah. Around age 21 the two sites overlap, so a short email settles which one fits.

Business Bay: the adult psychology team

The Business Bay clinic is the flagship for adult psychiatry and psychology. It sits on the 30th floor, Suite 3004, of One by Omniyat Tower. Drivers reach the building by the service road next to Iris Bay Tower. Valet parking costs nothing, and reception validates the ticket.

The clinician listing includes eight psychologists whose profiles place their sessions at Business Bay. Four carry the Clinical Psychologist title and four carry the Psychologist title. Three of the clinic’s psychiatrists meet patients here too, so a psychologist and a psychiatrist can work from one site when therapy and medication run together. The counts hold as of 29 October 2026.

The clinic’s FAQ lists anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD and eating disorders among the conditions treated, with couple therapy and CBT alongside. Hours run Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm and on Sunday from 9:00am to 6:00pm. The clinic closes on Saturday. Weekday hours end at 4:30pm, so Sunday gives the longest day. If your workday ends at five, ask about Sunday first.

Young Valens: children, teenagers and families

Young Valens occupies the ground floor of 777 Center on Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah 3. Free mall parking sits at the entrance. The site opens Monday to Thursday from 9:00am to 7:00pm and on Friday and Sunday from 9:00am to 6:00pm. It closes on Saturday too.

Psychiatry, psychology, speech therapy and educational psychology share the site. A child who needs two specialists sees them at the same address. Psychologists there include Lara Daouk and Timea Antal, and two of the clinic’s psychiatrists list the site as their base. Parents get support too: the clinic runs parenting workshops and consultations.

Where ages 18 to 21 fall

Older teenagers and young adults sit near the seam. Young Valens lists teen and young adult services for anxiety, depression, academic pressure and life transitions, and Lara Daouk’s profile covers ages 5 to 21. At Business Bay, Haifa Ezzeddine sees adults from age 21, while Alison Kuit works with adolescents and adults.

For a patient between 18 and 20, email the team with the age and the concern. Ask which clinician and which site fit. Do not guess from the address.

Payment, insurance and families who use two sites

Each location page lists Visa, Mastercard, Cashew and Mamo as accepted payments, and the clinic accepts insurance from most major UAE providers. Some families use the two sites together. A parent can join parenting consultations at Young Valens and book personal therapy at Business Bay, since adults seeking care book Business Bay. The clinic says the two sites share the same clinical standards and a coordinated care team.

When the address does not work

The clinic offers online psychiatry and therapy through secure video conferencing, for clients in the UAE and abroad. Its FAQ on online services describes the same level of care and attention as in-person sessions. If distance rules out the trip to either site, ask whether your chosen psychologist offers video sessions.

Ask the team which site fits

Email info@thevalensclinic.ae with the patient’s age, the main concern and the area you travel from. The team can help you find the right clinician, usually within one working day. The Valens Clinic operates under Dubai Health Authority (DHA) licensing, and its Jumeirah site holds Community Development Authority (CDA) approval.
