Dr. Kelly Huffman

Dr. Kelly Huffman is a licensed psychologist in both the UAE and the US, with over 15 years of clinical experience. She works within the Psychiatry & Behavioral Health Department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi's Neurological Institute. Her expertise spans the intersection of physical and mental health—she helps patients navigate chronic conditions like multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, headaches, and sleep disorders, while also addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship difficulties.

Dr. Huffman's clinical approach is shaped by advanced training in health psychology and pain management. Before joining Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, she spent several years at Cleveland Clinic Ohio, where she worked in the Centers for Neurological Restoration and Pain Medicine, and directed the Chronic Pelvic Pain Program within the Women's Health Institute. She also led research activities and supervised post-doctoral psychology fellows as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine.

She is a particularly good fit for patients dealing with the emotional and psychological side of chronic illness, women facing specific health or life challenges, and anyone seeking psychological support within a medical setting that understands complex neurological or pain conditions.
