How can I help?

Sleep problems are often caused by anxiety and stress related issues. Your sleep issues may have a different root cause. Whatever the cause, you can work it out with Dr. Samar, and be sure to be getting the sleep you need, in the time you need it.

Any substances that we use are a replacement for something else that we need. Dr. Samar will help in identifying your unique reasons for being a smoker, an addict to nicotine, to the habit of smoking, or to any other habit. Your mind and body are incredible structures, your craving of that particular substance or behavior is a result of a need that you have which can be fulfilled with something positive, which will only contribute to your sense of hope, joy, and determination.

Dr. Samar is here to address any physical, emotional and/or behavioral patterns, and get you on your path to cultivating healthy habits that will contribute to your overall productivity and happiness.

A psychosomatic disorder is a disease which involves both mind and body. Some physical conditions are particularly more likely to be made worse by mental factors such as stress and anxiety. Your current mental state can affect how bad a physical condition is at any given time.

It is important to take your mental health seriously, and address your psychological issues the moment symptoms are apparent; as a many seemingly physical illnesses are caused by mental health problems. For instance, the physical problems related to chronic stress include the lowering of the immune response, chronic muscle tension, and increased blood pressure. These problems can eventually lead to serious life-threatening illnesses such as heart attacks, kidney disease, and cancer.

With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, your sessions with Dr. Samar will address thought patterns that you are experiencing, consciously or subconsciously, that are standing in the way of realizing your happiness and potential.

During CBT sessions, you can expect:
⎫ To heal distorted thinking
⎫ To address and replace misconceptions
⎫ To identify and replace limiting beliefs
⎫ To overpower negative thoughts
⎫ To get overthinking and rumination under control
⎫ To address the all-or-none mindset
Dr. Samar is passionate about addressing the above thought patterns through CBT sessions, as that lies in the core of her expertise as well as goal to help as many people as possible in realizing the lives they want. These thought patterns are essentially false, and have been acquired through incorrect conclusions made subconsciously. The problem with such thought patterns is that they are constraining by nature, they are limiting. They are often the foundation to why we live below our potential. These thought patterns keep you “inside the box”.
The only limits in your life are the ones created by your mind. Dr. Samar will work with you on cultivating the mindset of “I can do anything”; because it is true – you can live to see your true potential. However, that only begins when you address and change these thought patterns, by leveraging the help of a professional to coach you through the process, and in an accelerated manner.

Generalized Fatigue is a very common complaint. It usually refers to nonspecific sense of low energy, or the feeling that near exhaustion is reached after relatively little or no mental effort. Because the causes of generalized fatigue are numerous, determining the cause of fatigue can be one of the most challenging diagnostic problems in medicine because the differential diagnosis is very broad, including infection, malignancy, cardiac disease, endocrine disorders, neurologic disease, as well as depression. Dr. Samar can evaluate and exclude the organic cause of the fatigue and then move on to address the psychological issue causing it, and provide the necessary treatment.

Some chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, and pain lead to stress. They are often times also caused by stress. In order to avoid causing more psychological and physical health problems, and complicating the healing process, patients with a chronic condition will highly benefit from speaking with Dr. Samar about their challenges and concerns.

Patients that suffer from a Chronic Medical Illness often feel psychologically defeated by the disease, which could lead to depression.

If you have mental health problems that are severe or mild, they are likely to be worse during pregnancy or after giving birth; for instance, depression can progress more quickly and be more serious than at other times.

In addition, pregnancy can be challenging, and women and couples should be recognized for it and supported. Dr. Samar provides coaching in the healthiest ways, mentally and physically, to approach getting pregnant, being pregnant, delivery, and child nurturing and development.

Patients may experience serious mental health problems as they deal with the emotional and physical roller coaster typical of infertility treatment. An identification of the root problem leading to infertility may also resolve the issue itself and will definitely resolve the psychological trauma and emotional hurt we relate to it.

This type of depression can affect both sexes after childbirth. Dr. Samar can provide expert help in coping with it, and moving into a loving and joyful space with your family.
