About Mentwab
Dr. Mentwab Wuhib is a New York psychologist (NY Psychologist 018452) and a Virginia psychologist (VA Psychologist 0810008958) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with major life changes. She also focuses on attachment issues, divorce and separation, and problems such as panic attacks and social anxiety.
She began clinical work in 2001 supporting adults with chronic and severe mental illness to reduce repeated hospitalizations. Since then she has worked in psychotherapy, consultation, and testing across different settings. That variety has given her experience with many presentations and practical problems people bring to therapy.
Having lived in Africa, Europe, and the United States, she pays attention to cultural and ethnic differences and adjusts how she works to fit a person’s worldview. Her approach is collaborative and outcome focused. She draws on cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ways of working and keeps trauma in view when it is relevant.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and concrete steps. People can expect talk that connects their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to everyday problems. Interventions may include testing ideas, practicing alternative responses, and reviewing how past patterns affect current relationships.
She offers appointments by video and phone, including some evening and weekend times. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Wuhib commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more useful responses; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship so people can explore their concerns and decide what changes to try.She also draws on Narrative Therapy and psychodynamic ideas when helpful to look at how life stories and past patterns shape current reactions. The therapist works with each person to find which approaches fit their goals and daily life. Deciding on an approach is collaborative and reviewed as work progresses rather than fixed in advance.
Her biography notes that she offers sessions by video and phone, with some evening and weekend hours. Confirm the current session options before booking to match your schedule. Online appointments make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can work on skills between sessions.
