Individual and Couple's Therapy

Jumana has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Virginia Tech, a Master’s degree in Psychology from Radford University and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is a National Certified Counselor (NCC #254211) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina (LCMHC #8863). She has 17 years of counseling experience and has spent 6 years working with adolescents in North Carolina public schools. Jumana has traveled extensively and lived in 4 different continents. She has applied her knowledge of these diverse cultures to her education and work with clients. She also uses this flexibility of understanding to meet her clients wherever they may be developmentally, culturally, and emotionally in their search for insight and resolution.

Jumana has lived in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Cyprus, Egypt and the United States and having been an “insider and outsider” has influenced her understanding of identity, relationships, belonging and cultural expectations.

She uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples, a non-blaming, non-pathological approach and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a third wave cognitive behavioral therapy, but will tailor the therapeutic approach to individual needs. Her style is non-judgmental, compassionate, yet direct.
