Our Team
Our therapy and counseling services are offered by an interdisciplinary team of mental health professionals from Germany, Egypt, and the West Bank. Get to know them now.
We are united by a common goal: to provide evidence-based, empathetic, and reliable support to Arabic speaking people in difficult life situations.
The project is headed by Dr. Maya Böhm and Dr. Yuriy Nesterko, both psychologists and researchers on trauma and transcultural studies.
Dr. Sophie Clever, a psychologist, has been coordinating the project for many years.
Sophie Klein is coordinating the project for more than 5 years, focusing on the administration and communication in and around the project.
Majdy Aldoibal, a psychologist, is in charge of the therapeutic coordination.
Maram Al Moadamani, a psychologist, is responsible for social media and support inquiries.
Mariam has been developing and managing our social media channels as Social Media Officer for many years.
Freya Specht and Max Vöhringer are accompanying the project on a scientific basis.
Ten highly qualified therapists and counselors from Egypt and the West Bank who have all been trained in the specific counselling and therapy methods offered, have been working with us for several years.
We receive ongoing support and consultation by the founders of the program Prof. Dr. Maria Böttche, and Prof. Dr. Christine Knaevelsrud from Freie Universität Berlin and Prof. Dr. Birgit Wagner (Medical School Berlin).
