About
Trauma work, in Arabic and in English
Dina Abdelrahman is a licensed professional counselor in Texas, practicing in the Houston area. She earned her MA in clinical psychology from the University of Houston–Clear Lake in 2016 and holds Texas LPC license #81109.
Her trauma training is the formal kind. She holds CPT provider status through the Strong Star Training Initiative, and works in cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and exposure and response prevention. Alongside that she practices culturally sensitive and faith-centered therapy, family systems work, and couples therapy.
She sees clients in Arabic and in English, a door for Arabic-speaking families who have been translating themselves for years.
Trauma has a way of staying long after the thing that caused it is over. Dina treats it with training built for exactly that, and she keeps room for the religious questions that come with it.

Trauma & PTSD
Formally trained in cognitive processing therapy, the protocol with the strongest evidence behind it.
