More about Nahed

I provide psychotherapy services in English, French, Arabic, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL). I primarily work from a psychoanalytic (psychodynamic) perspective, though I am trained in various modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, and others. 

Psychoanalysis (Psychodynamic psychotherapy) works to understand the unconscious part of the mind. Unconscious efforts to fulfill innate longings are the basis of many difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, unfounded fears, and relationship problems (Solms, 2018). 

I am also a patient in psychodynamic psychotherapy, where I continue to explore my own inner conflicts to understand how they impact my life, my work, and relationships. This therapeutic work, I believe, is the most important part of my training.
