As a former Clinical Director and Clinical Supervisor, Yasmeen has provided care to a broad spectrum of clients, including First Responders, Military Personnel, survivors of childhood and developmental trauma, individuals facing workplace and existential concerns, and couples managing complex relational or grief dynamics. Her work is deeply rooted in relational, integrative, and humanistic approaches, while remaining firmly anchored in neuroscience-informed, trauma-focused care.
