Dr Sinica Huang
Clinical Psychologist
About Me
As a clinical psychologist with over eight years of experience, I am committed to providing compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based psychological services. Originally from British Columbia, Canada, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I am licensed with the Dubai Health Authority and registered with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia.
My Approach & Services Offered
Having worked in various outpatient settings including government mental health entities and private clinics, I am passionate about inclusivity and incorporate diverse therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs.
I believe that therapy at its core should be non-judgmental and collaborative, emphasising compassion and acceptance to foster a supportive therapeutic environment. In my experience, creating a strong therapeutic relationship will not only help to facilitate an environment where my clients feel supported and safe in addressing challenges, but are also empowered to integrate their experiences in a positive direction, ultimately further enhancing personal resilience and growth.
My work also focuses on addressing systemic factors affecting mental health to create sustainable outcomes.
I typically draw from the following therapeutic approaches:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Mindfulness-based techniques
- Solution-Focused approaches
- Gottman method
