Graduated in clinical psychology and psychopathology from Saint-Joseph University of Beirut
Mayda Salem is a licensed clinical psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist practicing in Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. Her therapeutic approach is insight-oriented, grounded in the belief that a neutral and secure therapeutic relationship—one that fosters autonomy—can support meaningful and lasting psychological transformation.
She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology from Saint Joseph University of Beirut. Trilingual (Arabic, French, English), she offers a practice that is both research-informed and attuned to cultural complexities. Her academic work—particularly on attachment and sexuality—reflects her creative engagement with the emotional depth and intricacy of the human subject.
With over ten years of clinical experience, Mayda Salem has held leadership roles within the NGO sector, notably in child protection. She has designed clinical interventions, trained interns, and collaborated with international judicial systems in the context of transnational cases.
Mayda Salem places central importance on the therapist’s own personal and introspective work, which she considers the foundation of ethical and deeply engaged clinical practice.
She currently offers consultations in Horsh Tabet, Lebanon.
