Online & In-Person Therapy in Dubai – Licensed Psychologist for Teens and Adults

Let’s talk. Let’s heal.


 

Wafa Farid, Psychotherapist in Dubai

 Who am I?

​

I’m Wafa Farid, a licensed psychologist based in Dubai, offering online and in-person therapy sessions to adults and adolescents across the UAE.

 

As a second generation GCC expat raising a multicultural family, I understand the complexities of balancing career, motherhood and wellbeing in a fast-paced city like Dubai - and I bring that lived understanding into every session. 

 

​So, whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, life transitions or simply feeling stuck due to past traumas, I will create a space for you, where you will feel understood, supported and empowered to move forward. 

​

Let’s talk. Let’s heal.
