Carolyn Yaffe

Ms. Carolyn is an experienced psychotherapist with over 20 years of diverse clinical practice. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University's Wheelock College of Education and Human Development, and I am certified in several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). 

For the past 11 years, I have practiced in Dubai, where I have successfully worked with a multicultural clientele. This international experience has deepened my understanding of the importance of overcoming cultural barriers in therapeutic settings. My flexibility in utilizing various therapeutic modalities allows me to effectively address the needs of both children and adults. 

In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about community education. I regularly speak at schools, conduct workshops for parents, and participate in various media platforms to advocate for mental health awareness. My approach integrates a strength-based perspective and collaborative goal setting, fostering an environment conducive to mental well-being and personal growth.
