Key Differentiator
Arabic-speaking trauma therapist in Vancouver
Vancouver has a significant Arabic-speaking community — Syrian, Lebanese, Iraqi, and Egyptian families who often face an additional barrier to mental health care: finding a therapist who genuinely understands their cultural context and speaks their language.
Mohamad Shabib is a Canadian Certified Counsellor with advanced trauma training who provides therapy in both English and Arabic. His background includes direct work supporting Syrian refugees — he understands displacement, intergenerational trauma, and cultural stigma around mental health from personal experience, not just textbooks.
Healing in your first language isn't just easier — research shows it's more effective for deep emotional processing.
Multilingual therapy available
