About me

“I provide evidence-based treatment for a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, feeding and eating disorders, and emotion dysregulation across the lifespan. I draw from multiple treatment modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other third-wave models such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also embrace flexibility in the therapeutic space and am committed to tailoring interventions to meet the individual needs of each client. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, present, and compassionate. Ultimately, I aim to help you identify and connect with your own values to act as a vehicle for positive change and empower you to create a life worth living.”

Dr. Habashy received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She completed her APA-accredited doctoral internship at the UCSD/VA psychology internship program with an emphasis on feeding and eating disorders and pediatric primary care mental health integration. Her research focused on the screening and assessment of eating disorders among marginalized populations as well as as methods to provide culturally sensitive intervention and prevention strategies. Dr. Habashy has experience working at different levels of care with pediatrics, adolescents, families, and adults and has received specialized training in evidence-based treatments for eating disorders and co-occurring conditions.
