Dr. Mohammad Fraij is a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting vulnerable populations, trauma survivors, and those with mental health challenges. He holds a Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of Jordan and has worked extensively with international humanitarian organizations including Care International, International Medical Corps, and the Centre for Victims of Torture, where he provided psychosocial support to refugees and survivors of conflict-related trauma from Syria and Iraq. Since 2019, he has been based at Saudi German Hospital, and he also practises at Lifeworks Holistic Counselling Centre.
Dr. Fraij specializes in evidence-based talking therapies, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which helps people manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns by changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. He has worked with both children and adults, addressing conditions such as ADHD (attention and impulse-control difficulties), anxiety disorders, and depression. His background in trauma-informed care and capacity building with vulnerable communities informs his compassionate, culturally sensitive approach.
He is a good fit if you are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, or behavioural challenges, and particularly if you have experienced displacement, conflict, or significant life stress. Dr. Fraij's extensive experience with refugee and humanitarian contexts means he understands the mental health needs of people from diverse backgrounds.
Special interests: refugee mental health, humanitarian psychology, torture and conflict trauma survivors, capacity building in vulnerable communities.
