About Ketam A Hamdan

Brain Health Services
Almost all clients wish they started sooner and attest to the transformative insights gained. Clients are engaged in a series of deep conversations centered around life issues, problems in relationships or challenging experiences. There is not a one size fits all approach and varies, from existential dilemmas, developmental trauma, a broken heart, or depression and anxiety.

Brain Health does not preach a specific type of therapy, instead each client’s different needs will determine what type of theory or method is best. This will ensure the client gains clarity and insight about themselves needed to heal and forge ahead.

People come to session at varying times in their lives and for various reasons. You may find that you are most in need of speaking to someone when your stressors have become too much. Perhaps life has thrown you too many curve balls at once and your adorable neuroticism has become debilitating anxiety. You may find that you are overwhelmed and could use an extra resource in your corner. Or who knows, maybe you find that you are doing “fine” but that little knot of existential angst keeps coming up as you go through the motions of your daily life.

You might find yourself asking questions like:
- How do I “get over” this?
- Should I break up with her/him?
- Are my expectations faulty?
- Is this what I really want to do with my life?
- How do I cope better with life stress?
- How do I put my mind at ease?
- Can our relationship get any better?
- What is my purpose?
- Why do I feel stuck?
The list goes on, which is why we cover a range of symptoms, issues, and mental health problems.

Education

Education & Training
Dr. Ketam Hamdan holds a Ph.D. in Psychology. As well as, a Master’s in religion and psychology from Harvard University and a Master’s of Science from Columbia University. Her dissertation research was on Spiritual Bypassing: how Muslims may use spiritual practices to bypass psychological issues.

Dr. Hamdan is addicted to learning and continues to expand her mental health expertise. She specializes in trauma, especially complex trauma, and how it keeps people stuck. She also specializes in relationships. She firmly believes that attachment issues from our childhood disrupt our adult development and lead to a variety of issues in future relationships. She is passionate about helping people learn to have a relationship with themselves. She believes we are fixated on our relationships with others, but we never step back and realize that the most important relationship we will ever have is the relationship with ourselves. Yet, most people are not even aware of how to do this, or what it even looks like.

She is a Clinically Certified Imago Therapist, developed by Harville Hendrix, author of the best-selling book, Getting the Love You Want, as seen on Oprah. As well as, a Gottman trained therapist and an Emotionally Focused Therapist. As well as, a Trauma Certified Specialist.

Insurance

I accept the following insurance plans

Finances & Insurance

Brain Health is an out-of-network provider so we do not accept other insurance outright. If you are unsure if you have out-of-network benefits, please call your insurance company and ask these questions to help determine your benefits:

Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
Some clients are able to file and receive a reimbursement for individual therapy from anywhere between 50-80% of session cost. It’s worth asking the question as you seek the best therapist fit for you. Please consult with your insurance company to determine coverage options.

If you plan to file for out-of-network reimbursement, please make this clear when scheduling your appointment.
