Hello, I’m Moustafa, an aspiring clinical psychologist from Egypt with a burning passion for driving meaningful social change through psychology. Currently, I’m immersed in the journey of obtaining my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD), fueled by a deep-seated desire to understand the human mind and alleviate psychological distress within my community.

Growing up in Egypt, I was deeply influenced by my cultural surroundings, fostering in me a strong sense of empathy and a commitment to making a difference. My academic path has been a reflection of this passion. As I delve into the complexities of clinical psychology, I’m not only seeking to comprehend psychological phenomena but also to translate this knowledge into tangible interventions that positively impact individuals and communities.

My studies cover a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic interventions, to trauma-informed care and cross-cultural psychology. I believe in taking a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing the interconnectedness of various factors influencing well-being.

Beyond academia, I actively engage in initiatives aimed at raising mental health awareness and advocating for those in need. Whether it’s volunteering at local community centers or contributing to research projects, I am committed to challenging stigma and creating a more supportive environment for individuals struggling with mental health issues.

With my PsyD on the horizon, I’m eager to step into the next phase of my journey, equipped with both academic knowledge and hands-on experience. My vision is one where mental health services are accessible to all, irrespective of background or circumstance. I am determined to play my part in making this vision a reality, one therapy session at a time.
