Yusra Clinical Psychologist And Psychotherapist In Lebanon
As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, CBT Psychotherapist, and Analytical Systemic Therapist, I practice a deeply integrative approach to mental health, offering a highly personalized, holistic framework for every patient I treat. By seamlessly combining evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the rich, systemic lens of Analytical Therapy, I help individuals explore both their inner psychological patterns and the wider family, relational, and cultural dynamics that shape their daily lives.
Because mind and body are inherently connected, my therapeutic approach is profoundly shaped by my professional roots as a registered nurse on the psychiatry floor and nurse counselor at Saint George Hospital University Medical Center in Beirut, where my clinical thesis championed the vital integration of specialized psychological support within medical settings.
Therapy with me is a , collaborative, and entirely non-judgmental sanctuary where you can cultivate lasting self-awareness, heal root causes, and build practical tools for long-term emotional well-being.
Professional Training And Credentials
My diverse integrative training is supported by professional credentials, including:
- Formal certification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from ALTCC
- Specialization in Analytical Systemic Therapy from the Tabyeen International School
- Advanced training in personality styles from the Beck Institute
- Executive development in Adaptive Leadership from Harvard University
Emotional And Relational Support
This comprehensive clinical background allows me to provide safe, highly secure, and flexible care for individuals walking through life’s heaviest challenges—ranging from severe anxiety, trauma, and deep depression to intense mood changes, personality struggles, and dark moments involving thoughts of giving up. Recognizing that healing thrives in connection, I place a vital emphasis on couple and family therapy; I work with partners to break down walls of communication, resolve deep conflicts at home or work, and restore trust, while helping families rewrite multi-generational relational patterns and turn the household into a nurturing space of mutual support.
Student Welfare And Academic Support
Beyond my private clinic in Lebanon, I serve as the Lead Welfare at the Lebanese American University (LAU) in Beirut, where I work inside the academic ecosystem to help students break through performance blocks, overcome debilitating exam anxiety, and master the learning difficulties standing in the way of their emotional and academic balance.
Mental Health Advocacy And Barik Al-Amal
Driven by a lifelong commitment to public advocacy, I regularly share psychological insights as a guest speaker on major Lebanese television networks, including MTV and Mariam TV, and I am the founder of the Barik Al-Amal initiative, a community platform dedicated to spreading mental health awareness and offering clear, compassionate psychotherapy guidance.
I firmly believe that mental health struggles are never a reflection of personal failure, but a very human response to an overwhelming life system. You truly do not have to carry this heavy weight all by yourself, and I warmly invite you to take the first collaborative step toward healing, resilience, and true peace of mind by clicking here to book your consultation session today.
