GUIDA ALARUMI

Welcome! I’m Guida Alarumi, a Predoctoral Therapist working under the supervision of Licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. Rumana Mansur.

​

Thank you for visiting this page. I understand that beginning therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. My goal is to offer a space where you can slow down, reflect, and make sense of what you’re experiencing. If you’re hoping to feel more grounded—in yourself, in your relationships, or in your daily life—I’m here to support you in that process.

​

I work with individuals, couples, and families, and I tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs and lived experiences. Together, we may explore how past experiences, thinking patterns, and relational dynamics shape your current emotional world. I draw from evidence‑based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while staying flexible and responsive to what feels most helpful for you. Our work may include building awareness of unhelpful patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and reconnecting with the values that matter most. For younger clients, I incorporate play‑based methods to help them express emotions in developmentally meaningful ways.

​

As a bilingual Arab American Muslim, I bring an awareness of how culture, identity, and community influence the way we understand ourselves and move through the world. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel respected, understood, and supported as they explore their experiences and goals.

​

My approach centers on warmth, collaboration, and cultural responsiveness. I look forward to working together and supporting you as you move toward greater clarity, balance, and fulfillment.
