Muammar Nakhla
Therapist - Sessions offered in English and Arabic
I grew up in Syria and studied psychology in the University of Damascus. For 5 years I was a therapist in the Syrian Association of Autism and helped autistic children with behavior modification therapy. During the revolution in Syria I documented human rights violations and reported them to the media. In 2014 I left Syria and started to work with UOSSM to offer mental support to traumatized children and youth in Turkey. One year later I came to Germany where I continued my work with young traumatized refugees. Now I’m working as freelance Psychologist for Zentrum Überleben and the state of Berlin. I offer therapy sessions in Arabic and English.

Olga Popova
Therapist - Sessions offered in German and Russian
In the 90s, before training as a trauma therapist, I worked in Moscow with children with special needs and their parents as a developmental psychologist. I learned what it means to live with trauma and that if not addressed with the due attention it only gets harder with time. Through my personal and professional experience in different countries I also learned that all the difficulties of being migrants, refugees, working and raising children between countries, languages and cultures can trigger and disturb our internal world and emotional stability. My goal is helping people to find a way to build their personal resilience. Based in Switzerland, I work at the institute MMI in Zürich, which provides psychological support and therapy to vulnerable people with young children and refugees that come here from all over the world. I offer sessions in German and Russian.

Romeo-Aurelian Mocanescu
Therapist - Sessions offered in English and Romanian
I am a psychodynamic and analytical psychotherapist, informed by classical Jungian concepts as well as by developmental approaches. I pay particular attention to dreams, images, symbols and metaphors as well as to the events of everyday life and their meaning and, where called for, I work creatively with guided visualisations and even drawings. My aim is to provide a safe enough environment where the as yet ‘unspoken’ may be heard, a place where a new relationship may be established with the inner and outer world and their potential for future development.

Shereen El Gazzar
Therapist and Former Journalist - Sessions offered in English and Arabic
Before becoming a therapist, I was a political and financial journalist. I wrote for the Wall Street Journal in the Middle East. I also covered the Arab Spring and the war in Iraq. I lived and worked in Egypt, the UAE, the US, Thailand, Portugal and Norway. I decided to become a psychotherapist when I realized that the idea of a “normal” human being is far more expansive than the impression of normality I received from the media and society at large. I wanted to help others to be mindful of the subconscious influences on their perspectives, behaviors, and inner narratives. I did my masters in Couple and Family Therapy at Northwestern University. Currently, I work with individuals and couples. My clinical interests include: intercultural relationships, anxiety, depression, ADHD, women issues, life transitions, separation and trauma. I am based in Europe, I offer therapy sessions in Arabic and English.
