Hello! My name is Omar. I hold a Bsc. In Neuroscience and Mental health and working on my MA in Counselling Psychology. I am fascinated by old and current exploration of the brain and mind, how we co-construct and perceive reality, why behaviors evolved the way they have, and why we value different things.
I like to help my clients create new ways of perception and dispensing with crystallized thinking. True pathology is often rare and obvious. That is why I focus on a solutions-perspective. I am no expert and like to learn from others, including my clients, throughout my journey.
I aim to use many evidence-based techniques or approaches to help you reach better mental health. I also like to combine my understanding of Western and Eastern philosophies, and both theoretical and pragmatic style of conceptualizing problems. Above all, the most important thing for me is our relationship that is oriented towards healing.
My modalities include: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
Every story finds its beginning amidst the ongoing narrative of life, where our realities are shaped by our diverse experiences. Our upbringing, relationships, work, and education not only shape who we are but also influence the individuals we evolve into. Central to our understanding are the memories and moments of our childhood, serving as the foundation upon which our realities are built and providing us with the lens through which we perceive the world. Furthermore, our cultural background, early attachments, and environment contribute to refining and fortifying this lens, nurturing resilience, or fostering vulnerability. Our lives are journeys that take us along different paths and sometimes those journeys are lonely. We may be faced with some hardship or some complex situations, and at times challenging experiences. When we feel stuck, alone, disengaged, misunderstood or invisible, therapy becomes a powerful process that allows us to gain insight, see where and why we are getting stuck and find solutions that help us live a healthy, meaningful, and fulfilled life. During that process, everyone deserves to feel safe, loved, heard, seen…
As I meet you at this moment in your journey, my aim is to foster an empathetic, open, warm, and accepting environment. Drawing from different therapeutic methodologies, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered approaches, and solution-focused interventions, I endeavor to provide a holistic framework for growth and healing. We are inherently social beings, thriving on connections that enrich our experiences and inform our understanding of self.
Guided by the theory of family systems and attachments approach, I am committed to exploring life’s challenges through a multidimensional lens and understanding interplay of biological, psychological, and social elements. It is a privilege to accompany you on this journey of self-
discovery and empowerment.
