Psychodynamic trauma-informed therapy for people navigating stuckness & change
Welcome. I'm Dr. Laila AbdelSalam, a licensed clinical psychologist providing therapy for adults in New York and New Jersey, as well as internationally — with a particular connection to the Middle East. I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds, including third culture adults and others navigating lives across cultures, countries, and communities.
My priority is building a thoughtful, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic relationship grounded in curiosity, care, and trust. Learn more about my approach and the services I offer below, and reach out to explore working together.
