A Little About Me
My Practice
Hi, my name is Souhair. I am a psychotherapist, systemic coach, emotional intelligence practitioner, and life coach. I have over 14 years’ experience in the space of human empowerment and therapy.
I believe in Carl Yung’s quote: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will control your life and you will call it fate.” In my practice, I follow an integrated psycho-spiritual-systemic approach, which is rooted in the psychodynamic, interpersonal and holistic schools of psychotherapy. I mainly focus on the adverse role and impact of the intergenerational/systemic patterns clients have carried from their family systems; which in turn have been affecting their lives deeply. This approach allows me to uncover the root causes of clients’ complaints including symptoms and behaviors that manifest on the surface such as depression, anxiety, anger, and more. Moreover, I help clients uncover and heal inner child deep wounds, limiting belief systems, and traumas.
Prior to working in human empowerment, I worked for 9 years as a marketing professional in Jordan. However, during my time in the corporate world, I realized that I have a bigger mission and a divine life purpose that is deeply rooted in working with and empowering humans. My life purpose / or noble goal is "to passionately foster inspirational support and empowerment.” As a result, I decided to shift careers and pursue my passion in training, coaching, and psychotherapy.
What I'm Like
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the corner stone of any successful therapy journey, as building TRUST is key for healing to occur. So, I create a compassionate, accepting, and respectful environment in sessions. This normally helps clients to feel safe and secure in sharing their pain and allowing their vulnerability to surface to be embraced and accepted. At the same time, I challenge clients when needed to step out of their comfort zones to achieve sustainable positive change and transformative growth.
What Can You Expect From My Sessions
My sessions are mostly fluid, explorative, and collaborative. I give a lot of focus to interpretations (e.g., why things are the way they are, the root causes of the different unhealthy patterns and why they keep on repeating in life).
I also offer Inner Child therapy through a series of structured sessions. I believe that healing one's inner child can be a very powerful and transformative process as it helps heal past wounds, find more self-compassion and inner understanding that cultivates authentic self-love.
In general, I offer the needed support and guidance inside and outside my sessions. This includes many recommended tools and resources that help clients enhance their overall therapeutic experience and integrate what happens through their journey. With time, their overall level of awareness would expand and they will be able to adopt healthier and more adaptive coping strategies that will hopefully lead to an overall healthier lifestyle.
Fees
Does not accept Insurance
Cost
- 80 USD/single session
Our first session
In the first session, I first clarify to clients essential aspects about the therapy journey including confidentiality terms, rescheduling and cancellation policies, and payment terms so clients are aware of their rights and responsibilities. After that, I move into a detailed and deep understanding of my client's history. Finally, I invest time to explore my client's therapeutic objectives, so that we can agree on the key areas we will focus on in our journey.
