Psychology and Psychiatry Treatment

Treating mental health disorders   

Once a diagnosis has been made, our team works closely with individual to develop personalized treatment plans, addressing their specific needs and goals. At Mubadala Health Dubai, we offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based treatment approaches to address various mental health concerns in adults.

Treatment will depend on the disorder diagnosed and its severity. Treatments include

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

CBT is a type of talk therapy. By discussing thoughts and emotions in a structured, goal-oriented way, it can help to manage anxiety, depression and emotional concerns, such as coping with stress or grief. The therapy is also used to help patients manage non psychological health conditions, such as chronic pain and insomnia.

Trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy

This is a form of CBT used to treat conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Trauma-focused therapy for adults aims to help them to change their thoughts and beliefs about the trauma to improve their lives. A trained therapist helps the individual manage any behaviors and emotions that are triggered by a trauma, by understanding what caused it, accepting that it has happened, and finding new ways of responding to it. 

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

DBT, an extension of CBT, incorporates a skills group component alongside individual therapy. This comprehensive approach focuses on cultivating acceptance of difficult emotions, acquiring coping skills, and implementing positive changes. By embracing dialectics, the recognition of opposing truths, DBT offers effective treatment for personality disorders, depression, substance abuse, and eating disorders, fostering lasting healing and personal growth within both individual and group settings.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

A novel treatment used to reduce the symptoms of PTSD during which the individual moves their eyes in a certain way whilst thinking about the traumatic event. The eye movements mimic the effect that memories and experiences have on the brain’s processes while you are asleep. It focusses on changing thoughts and emotions and allows the brain to resume a healing process.

Psychodynamic therapy

Psychodynamic therapy aims to help you understand how feelings and behaviors are shaped by past events in your life. Unconscious processes and impulses manifest our current emotions and therapy aims to bring understanding and self-awareness of the influences of earlier events on current behavior.    

Solution-focused therapy

A short-term therapy, solution-focused therapy focuses on setting goals and understanding how to achieve them. The therapy looks at the future rather than the present or past, and centers around the things you can do, rather than those you can’t. It is a treatment for many mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. 

Family therapy

A type of talk therapy, family therapy focuses on improving relationships and behaviors between family members. It can help families who have experienced grief, conflict, mental illness, or who are adjusting to new situations. Family therapy can involve any combination of members from a family.

Marital therapy
