Clinical Psychologist
Christina Khoury graduated with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Université Saint Joseph in Beirut. She pursued a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling in the United Kingdom, specializing in existential psychotherapy. Her academic journey also includes advanced certifications in Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT/CBT) from the UK and Individual Schema Therapy accredited by the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST). These diverse academic and training experiences have shaped a robust foundation for her eclectic therapeutic approach, which integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, and existential methodologies.
With over five years of experience in clinical practice, Christina has worked across varied contexts, including hospitals, private practice, and community settings. At Bellevue Medical Center, she collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to diagnose, treat, and support patients with complex psychological needs while mentoring and guiding interns entering the field. In her private practice, she integrates evidence-based therapies such as Schema Therapy and CBT, tailoring each intervention to the unique journey of every client. She is passionate about addressing relational dynamics, identity formation, and the existential questions that shape human experience.
Christina’s therapeutic approach is a transformative journey that balances actionable tools for emotional regulation with a deeper exploration of the self. She creates a safe and compassionate space where clients can navigate the intricate layers of identity, connection, and purpose. Whether addressing relational dysfunctions, existential concerns, or emotional distress, her work is guided by curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to fostering self-discovery and growth.
