Designation: Trauma Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist

Department: Psychology

Bruna Moubarak is a licensed multilingual psychologist in Dubai who specializes in trauma-focused therapy and neuro-affirming support for adolescents, adults, and older adults. She holds a postgraduate certification in Integrated Trauma Studies from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) in New York and is EMDR-certified (EMDRIA-approved). Bruna provides evidence-based care that helps clients process traumatic experiences, regulate their nervous systems, and move toward lasting healing and growth.
Fluent in English, Arabic, and French, Bruna offers therapy that is both accessible and culturally sensitive to the diverse communities she serves. At Doctor Reuter Medical Center Jumeirah St., she works with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, psychosomatic symptoms, and challenges related to major life transitions. She also supports clients with neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, using a strengths-based, affirming approach. In addition, she conducts ADOS-2 assessments to diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder and provides families with individualized guidance and intervention planning tailored to each client's developmental and emotional needs.
Her therapeutic approach draws from both depth-oriented frameworks, such as psychodynamic and humanistic therapies, and internationally recognized trauma practices, including:
·      EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
·      Internal Family Systems (IFS)
·      Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (body-based trauma therapy)
·      Mindfulness and somatic-based practices
Bruna believes therapy should be a safe and affirming space for all clients. In addition to her work with trauma and neurodiversity, she welcomes individuals exploring gender and sexual identity, as well as those facing sexual or relational difficulties, offering a confidential and compassionate environment where every part of a person's experience can be acknowledged, accepted, and supported.
She is adept at collaborating with families, external resources, and interdisciplinary teams, including psychiatrists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists, to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated care experience. With clinical training and experience across the United States, Lebanon, and the UAE, and fluency in three languages, Bruna brings a global perspective, strong clinical ethics, and deep cultural awareness to her work. She holds a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from New York University (Cum Laude) and a Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from Notre Dame University (Magna Cum Laude).
