Dima Kodeih

Dima is a clinical psychologist based in Doha who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She works with adults, young adults, and teenagers who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. She has a particular interest in the psychological experience of expatriates: questions of identity, belonging, and what it means to build a life away from home.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence. Sessions offer a space where you can slow down and be heard without judgment. Together, you’ll make sense of what you’re going through and build practical tools that help in everyday life.

With adults, Dima supports people through stress, burnout, low mood, and relationship challenges, as well as the pressures of balancing career, family, and life abroad. Alongside the emotional work, she helps clients build a more sustainable lifestyle. That can mean managing time and energy, setting boundaries, and making room for rest and the things that matter to them.

With young adults, Dima supports the big transitions that shape this stage of life, like starting university, entering the workforce, and becoming more independent. She helps them navigate uncertainty about the future, pressure to “have it all figured out,” early relationships, and questions of identity. For many expat young adults, this is also the time of leaving home or moving between countries.

With teenagers and adolescents, Dima offers a space where young people feel respected and understood. She supports them through friendships and peer pressure, school stress and perfectionism, questions of identity and self-esteem, big emotions, and tension or change at home. She also helps them build practical life skills, such as time management, organization, and healthy routines, so they can grow into confident, capable, and resilient young adults.
