Dr. Mona Ibrahim Youssri

Family happiness and witnessing parents successfully figure out the relationship with their children is a life goal for her. Every family has its own challenges and she believes there is no one size fits all technique for family wellness. She think the counselors’ role is to help each family, figure out their own healthy dynamics while coaching them to cope with the difficulties and provide them with skills to enrich their relationships with positivity, wellness, and happiness.

She believe in the super power of "PLAY" not only for the children but adults, as well as a very special factor for family bonding. Play enables the counselor to work on the area between cognition and emotions, where the person releases their heaviest burdens and unknown troubling agents.

Education & Work History:

She is a medical doctor MBBCH, with a psychiatry specialization, followed by an MA in Counseling Psychology.

Working as a psychiatrist and encountering mentally ill patients made her think of how She can have a role in reducing the struggles. So, as it is known that environment can have a significant role in stimulating mental illness specifically for those genetically predisposed, she decided to work with parents and Teachers on regulating the environments where children are nurtured into healthy well balanced human beings.

The same passion also leads her to founding a psychology based early childhood organization where parents receive psychological guidance through parenting workshops and teachers receive ongoing psychology based trainings.
