About Me

Ms. Abrar Tamangani is a passionate psychotherapist based at the beautiful city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. She was born and raised in Makkah, the Holy city of Muslims. Traveled to the USA to do her graduate education in psychotherapy as part of a government sponsored scholarship program. She excelled in her education and got an honor recognition for her efforts while studying abroad. The educational exposure to life in the USA gave her the gift of learning about multiculturalism and being more confident in dealing with people from different parts of the world. It helped her to shape her “acceptance” in a unique way and to open her eyes to a whole new level when interacting with the public. She completed her master’s degree in counseling psychology from Chatham University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Once back in Saudi Arabia, Her continuous strive and hunger for knowledge driven by the focus on helping her clients made her attend many educational sessions for specialized psychotherapy trainings around the world, including UK, USA, and Canada, these specialized trainings led to expanding her knowledge and capacity to match her client’s needs. Her mission is to help her country men and women who are in major need for the international expertise and skills with an understanding of the local culture and society peculiarities. She got trained in dialectical behavioral therapy, applied behavioral therapy, client centered, mentalization based therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and trauma informed care. Currently, she is helping sexually abused survivors and individuals who lived under long distress from a dysfunctional family environment at a local private clinic in Jeddah.
