Currently pursuing advanced training in eating disorders and obesity, Seham focuses on the complexities of disordered eating and the development of culturally sensitive treatment strategies. She has a particular interest in the intersection of family dynamics and mental health, with an emphasis on family-based interventions for eating disorders.
In her research endeavours, Seham co-authors studies on eating disorders, examining the role of culturally informed family interventions. She shares her findings at national and international conferences, contributing to the global conversation on mental health. As a mental health advocate, Seham leads initiatives like the MindMe Campaign, facilitating support groups and providing psychoeducation to promote emotional well-being and awareness.
Seham’s work is rooted in a strong belief in the power of connection and understanding. She is committed to creating safe, supportive spaces where individuals feel valued and empowered to make meaningful changes. Her dedication extends beyond clinical practice as a crisis hotline advocate and research mentor, further exemplifying her commitment to mental health advocacy.
With a focus on cultural sensitivity, resilience-building, and evidence-based care, Seham is dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome challenges and achieve lasting well-being. She is driven by her belief in the transformative potential of therapy and strives to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those she serves.
