Getting to know Mahmoud Yacoub
Hi there, I'm Mahmoud!
Hi, I'm Moudy! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in PA. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Duquesne University and hold bachelor's degrees from both the University of Pittsburgh and Youngstown State University. I have been practicing for 3 years post-graduation. I am here to help adults who struggle to find peace and contentment in their lives due to a variety of stresses, symptoms, and crises. Together, we can explore your story with the utmost care and respect to discover the life you want to live and the person you want to be.
My approach
I am an eclectic therapist who utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, but Existential-Humanism is my theoretical orientation and the foundation for my practice. What that means for you is twofold: one, I have a variety of methods to help you alleviate your suffering; and two, I believe you are more than that suffering and will find success by being in the present with me.
My focus
Clients who are struggling with anxious thoughts, anger, stress, relationship issues, communication issues, and boundary issues have found success with me. If you have a willingness to change what is not working despite it seeming functional or fine, we will find that success together.
My communication style
The environment of our sessions is one built on honesty, openness, trust, and compassion. The environment and tone are flexible to what feels best for you on a moment-to-moment basis, so there is no one environment we will find ourselves in. A typical session will just feel like having a conversation with someone where the conversation has the potential to transform how you live your life.
My goals for you
It's a simple conversation about what you want to work on! That's setting the goal.
