Intro
Hello, I'm Dr. Rafat Omar. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in Pennsylvania. I work with clients of all ages, couples, and families. I'm trained as a generalist and have knowledge and experience in treating a broad range of psychological issues. I have extensive experience working with and diagnosing individuals with autism spectrum disorder as well. Other issues I frequently treat include depression, anxiety, couples issues, bi-polar disorder and specific phobias. I look forward to starting our work together!
My desire to work with this population stems from my belief that underrepresented groups have been neglected for too long. I think that everyone, regardless of diagnosis, ability level, skin color and sexuality deserve to be treated with dignity and receive support. I believe that everyone has strengths, whether they are aware of them or not and it is my passion and my duty to help people utilize those strengths to their fullest by receiving adequate support and resources.
I bring affirming care to my work by coming into this sessions and work with the perspective and understanding that everyone has skills and strengths. that should be nurtured and developed. I don't view anyone's diagnosis as the entirety of their being, but simply a part of them. Hopefully, this approach helps people feel respected and allows them to feel comfortable sharing.
