RAIMY JAMAL

Clinical Psychology Doctoral Practicum Therapist

Hello! My name is Raimy Jamal, and I am a Doctoral Practicum Therapist currently under the supervision of Licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. Rumana Mansur. I am a doctoral-level clinical psychology trainee in the process of completing my doctorate at Alliant International University. I hold a master’s degree in clinical psychology with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy from Pepperdine University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University, Long Beach.

I am passionate about supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent clients—including those with ADHD and autism—who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and ways to navigate the world that honor their authentic identities. My clinical interests also include trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, identity development, interpersonal challenges, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic style is warm, strengths-based, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs and take a holistic, person-centered, and systems-oriented approach, considering how relationships, cultural contexts, and broader environments shape psychological well-being.

I help clients gain clarity through self-understanding while building practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Meaningful change often involves exploring how past experiences influence present patterns, identifying what may be keeping someone stuck, and developing skills that support growth and resilience. I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and experiential approaches. I am also trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma processing.

My clinical experience spans children, adolescents, and adults in individual, couples, and group therapy. I have supported clients with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, mood disorders, substance use disorders, and interpersonal difficulties. I have facilitated emotion regulation groups in a men’s residential substance use treatment center, co-led anxiety management groups for adults, provided school-based counseling to middle school students, and supported adults with schizophrenia in developing independent living skills for community reintegration.

In addition to psychotherapy, I have experience administering cognitive, personality, and symptom-based psychological assessments.

I understand that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when exploring long-standing patterns or painful experiences. My role is to meet clients where they are, move at a pace that feels right for them, and offer support, insight, and practical tools along the way. I believe clients are the experts on their own lives, and therapy is a collaborative process grounded in respect and empowerment.

My hope is that our work together helps you deepen your self-understanding, make meaningful changes, and build a life that reflects your values, strengthens your relationships, and supports you in living authentically.
