Amazing dr my favourite

The words can’t express the way my life started to change after meeting with dr. Kareen. Every session with her is an amazing journey filled with love, acceptance, inclusion, empathy, kindness and smooth, careful approach to my life story. Within a few sessions she lovingly and most compassionately explained the side effects of the medication I was taking and even though the termination of the medication was very difficult I managed to do so. My panic attacks were backed up and the post panic attack symptoms started to vanish slowly but effectively. I can’t be grateful enough for this experience and lucky enough to get to know her. Her professionalism and specialty her ways of approaching the individual stories and patients are remarkable. Thank you, Dr. Kareen, now and forever.

Dr Kareen is fantastic. I was suffering with severe anxiety & her approach & explanation was top of the range. She is very kind & really digs deep into why my anxious thoughts were happening. Thank you so much for the help.

Dr. Bekhazi has been rock of support during a very a turbulent time in my life. At times when I felt overwhelmed and stuck in a tunnel, she expertly guided me to see things in a different perspective. If I had not met her I would have been in a very bad place.

As someone who was highly skeptical of therapy, I found a great comfort working with Dr. Kareen. She is someone who allows me to progress and open up at my own pace; and I feel that she hits the right balance between an intimate approach to therapy and medical professionalism. I never leave her clinic without having had a lightbulb moment.

She actively listened and provided thoughtful insights, which helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself and my challenges. She also made an effort to tailor our sessions to my specific needs. They employed a range of therapeutic techniques and strategies that were relevant to my situation and goals. Whether it was cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness exercises, or simply offering perspective, she always seemed to have the right approach for any given session. Additionally, she was reliable and consistent with their schedule. They ensured that I had regular appointments and were prompt and prepared for each session.
