About Mentwab
Dr. Mentwab Wuhib is a New York psychologist and a Virginia psychologist with 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes, including guilt and shame.
She began working in mental health in 2001, first supporting adults with chronic and severe mental illness to reduce repeated hospitalizations. That early work included psychotherapy and coordination with other services. Since then she has provided psychotherapy, consultation, and testing in a variety of settings.
Having lived on three continents - Africa, Europe, and the United States - she pays attention to cultural and ethnic differences when planning care. She adapts her approach to match a person’s worldview and life context rather than offering the same steps to everyone.
Her clinical style is collaborative and outcome focused. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that keep problems going. She describes her work as trauma informed and attends to how past hurts affect current behavior and feelings.
In sessions she helps people understand patterns related to attachment, relationship strain, panic, and mood problems. She also addresses issues like divorce, life purpose, narcissism, and social anxiety. Practical skills and clearer thinking about past events often appear alongside longer reflection on how life stories developed.
Dr. Wuhib offers video and phone sessions, including some evening and weekend hours. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Wuhib commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that developed over time and how early relationships influence current feelings and behavior, which can help with relationship issues and persistent shame.She also draws on client-centered principles when appropriate, which means she works collaboratively and listens for what matters most to the person. Choosing an approach is part of the process; she will work with the client to find which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.
The profile notes she provides video and phone sessions and offers some evening and weekend hours. Confirm the exact session options and scheduling when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can occur between work or family responsibilities.
