About Dr. Somaia Mohamed
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine and a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience providing therapy, as well as training and supervising therapists both in the U.S. and abroad.
With extensive expertise across a range of psychological theories, techniques, and evidence-based practices, I have long been captivated by the intricate workings of the mind. The connection between mind and body is profound—shaping our interactions, motivations, and emotional experiences in ways we often don't consciously recognize.
While some continue to dismiss psychology as pseudoscience, my work has consistently demonstrated the undeniable power of the mind to influence both physical health and emotional well-being. The phrase “mind over matter” isn’t just a cliché—it reflects the extraordinary ways our thoughts shape our lives.
Whether you are facing a major life stressor, navigating a mental health challenge, or seeking guidance to move forward with greater clarity and purpose, I am here to help.
I, Dr. Somaia provide several different psychological services in New Haven including, Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) hypochondria, and various phobias. I also offer numerous counseling services to New Haven clients, including nutritional, family, adolescent, individual, divorce, couples, stress, anger, sexual abuse, women’s, self-esteem, and career counseling and therapy.
Please contact me, Dr. Somaia today to learn more about the psychological and counseling services I provide and how I might be able to help you. The brain is a highly malleable organ that can eliminate maladaptive behavioral or thinking patterns with ongoing cognitive behavioral therapy, conditioning or by uncovering and confronting negative unconscious processes. There is always hope. Always.
