Marriage and Family Treatment

I, Dr. Somaia Mohamed am a licensed psychologist and counsellor with decades of experience dealing with issues pertaining to marriage, divorce, new couples, and family matters. Below, are just some of the marriage and family counseling services that I provide in Hamden.

Child and Adolescent counseling

Childhood and adolescence can be challenging stages of life, filled with emotional, social, and developmental pressures. I work with children and teenagers to help them navigate issues such as depression, anxiety, bullying, self-esteem struggles, and identity development. Through a supportive, individualized approach, I help young people build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and move toward greater confidence and emotional well-being.

Couples/Premarital/Marital counseling

The journey to building and sustaining a strong relationship isn’t always smooth. I help couples—whether dating, engaged, or married—identify hidden issues, navigate potential deal breakers, and strengthen their foundation before or after marriage. Through open communication, trust-building, and focused mediation, we work together to address core challenges, heal old wounds, and create a more connected and resilient partnership.

Divorce and Family Mediation

Unfortunately, not all marriages can be saved. When separation becomes necessary, I offer divorce and family mediation services to help couples and families navigate the emotional and practical challenges that come with this major life transition. My goal is to support healthier communication, reduce conflict, and help all parties adjust to the changes ahead with dignity and care.

In addition, I provide marital crisis intervention for couples seeking urgent support to address critical issues before making major decisions. These intensive, three-hour sessions are available by appointment on weekends only and are designed to give couples the focused time and space needed to gain clarity, manage conflict, and explore possible next steps.

Family Therapy

I offer family therapy that focuses on understanding the unique roles, responsibilities, and dynamics between family members. By building on each person's strengths and addressing areas of conflict, we work to open the lines of communication and create a stronger, more cohesive family unit. Through a supportive and structured approach, families can find new ways to connect, resolve tension, and grow together.

Infidelity

In today’s culture, where hypersexualization is increasingly normalized, infidelity has, unfortunately, become more common. Whether you have been betrayed, are struggling with the temptation to cheat, or are facing the aftermath of infidelity, I offer a supportive space to help you navigate the complex emotions and decisions involved.

I work with individuals and couples to heal from betrayal, prevent impulsive, life-altering mistakes, and address the guilt, trust issues, and relational fallout that often follow acts of infidelity. Healing and clarity are possible—with the right support and guidance.

Nutrition counseling

I offer personalized nutrition counseling to help you achieve your health and weight goals in a sustainable, balanced way. Whether you're looking to improve energy, manage emotional eating, or develop a healthier relationship with food, I provide tailored guidance and practical resources that align with your individual needs, lifestyle, and wellness goals.

Parenting Coordination

Parenting conflicts can place significant stress on families and often impact the emotional well-being of children. I offer parenting coordination to help reduce tension between caregivers, improve communication, and support healthy, child-focused decision-making. My goal is to prevent conflict from escalating and to help families maintain structure, clarity, and emotional safety for everyone involved.

Sexual Abuse Treatment

Sexual Abuse TreatmentSexual abuse—especially when it involves a trusted family member—is one of the most deeply violating and traumatic experiences a person can endure. While these experiences are often hidden or minimized in public discourse, their emotional impact is profound and long-lasting.I provide a safe, supportive space for survivors to begin healing. Through trauma-informed therapy, I help individuals process what happened, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and regain a sense of control and safety. You are not alone—and healing is possible.

Step Parent Families

Blending a family brings unique challenges—loyalty conflicts, boundary-setting, shifting roles, and communication struggles are all common as new family structures form. Adjusting to these changes takes time, understanding, and intentional support.

I work with stepfamilies to ease the transition, strengthen bonds, and help each family member feel heard, respected, and valued. Together, we focus on building trust, clarifying roles, improving communication, and creating a stronger, more unified family dynamic.

Trauma and Abuse

Experiencing verbal or physical abuse—or going through a traumatic event like the loss of a loved one—can leave lasting emotional wounds. I provide a safe, supportive space for you to process those experiences, work through fear and grief, and begin the journey toward healing. With compassionate care and evidence-based treatment, you can regain your sense of safety, strength, and emotional balance.
