Dr. Humaira Mohsin, Registered Psychologist
Humaira holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology and has over 25 years of experience providing individual and group therapy to adults. She uses an integrative treatment approach to address mental health issues, primarily using Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Her clinical areas of expertise are in the areas of Anxiety, Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Humaira believes that her own life, family, friends and work experience have provided her with opportunities to develop into an empathetic and effective psychologist. She believes that the therapeutic journey is a collaboration between two experts: one being herself, an expert in psychology and the other is her client, who is an expert in their own life. She works towards making therapy meaningful and helps people develop a life worth living. Humaira has a strong background in psychological treatment, teaching and providing supervision (research & clinical internships of post graduate students), which she brings with her into her clinical work. She also actively engages in providing trainings to interns at local non-profit organizations and conducts psychoeducational workshops in the community (organized by the team at Digital Emergency Medicine, UBC). Aside from Humaira’s strong spoken English, she can also converse in Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi. Humaira has worked with people from different cultural and social backgrounds |
