”I worked with Dr. Saliha during her pre-doctoral internship year with Dallas Metropolitain Consortium. I was not her direct supervisor but we worked together on a few couples therapy cases and she consulted with me on several other individual therapy cases. Saliha was one of the most gifted student clinicians I've worked with. It is a great privilege to know Dr. Saliha an esteemed colleague & friend.“

نبذة عني
Raised and educated in the US, I moved to Dubai in 2008. I worked at a private practice for several years, and in 2011 I founded The LightHouse Arabia with the intention to make a positive impact on the mental health of individuals and families living in this region.
I often hear people say, “I will be okay. Time heals all wounds.” But it isn't time that heals wounds. It's actually accepting that you have emotional issues and confronting them that starts the healing process. It’s my life goal to work with individuals to help them address the challenges that face them -- and to be a guide for them on the inner journey towards wholeness and authentic happiness.

EMDR vs. Antidepressants "A randomized clinical trial of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), fluoxetine, and pill placebo in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder: treatment effects and long-term maintenance... ...The psychotherapy intervention was more successful than pharmacotherapy in achieving sustained reductions in PTSD and depression symptoms, but this benefit accrued primarily for adult-onset trauma survivors. At 6-month follow-up, 75.0% of adult-onset versus 33.3% of child-onset trauma subjects receiving EMDR achieved asymptomatic end-state functioning compared with none in the fluoxetine group... This study supports the efficacy of brief EMDR treatment to produce substantial and sustained reduction of PTSD and depression in most victims of adult-onset trauma.... Future research should assess the impact of lengthier intervention, combination treatments, and treatment sequencing on the resolution of PTSD in adults with childhood-onset trauma." #clinicaltrial #posttraumaticstress #stressdisorder #EMDR #therapist #mentalhealth
