Mariam attended the American University of Sharjah to complete a Bachelor of Arts in communications and a minor in psychology. Prior to entering the art therapy field, Mariam worked in cognitive development through which she provided services to children and adults struggling with cognitive delays and disabilities. Mariam completed her training at New York University and her clients include individuals who are experiencing or have experienced physical and psychological trauma, mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence, abuse, human trafficking, bereavement and loss, selective mutism and medical conditions (i.e. Multiple Sclerosis). Mariam also completed a three-week residency in Italy where she worked with members of a senior home. Mariam practiced her art therapy skills through both, group and individual session formats, and with a wide range of ages [6 – 89]. In 2016, Mariam developed her own art therapy initiative that was dedicated to working with the construction workers in Dubai #arttherapy #ATIC #mydubai #uaewomen #dubaipsychology #dubaitherapist

In a child's world imagination, art, play and narrative story telling can express emotions that are hard to talk about. This image of a castle was painted by a young girl depicting the home of two princesses, the horseman was described as daddy who goes away, reflecting the assessed issue of separation anxiety that the child faced. This can be common attachment challenge in expat life with dad working away and mum coping on her own away from the extended family. #arttherapyuae #playtherapydubai #dubaipsychology #dubailife #dubaidads #dubaimums #narrativetherapy #uaekids (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates)

This artwork is titled "Lonely" it can be difficult to verbalize how lonely feels. When we engage in the art therapy process with a trained and experienced art therapist we don't need to be pressured into saying something which is classed as painful, or can be too soon to talk about. However, we can say it through line and colour providing relief and minimizing negative associations. Thank you to the artist for allowing us to experience their loneliness. Through their experience of loneliness side by side with their art therapist they felt lonely no more .... even if it was for that moment ... We have all faced similar experiences and combat this at certain times throughout our lives- connection, support and empathy can combat feelings of loneliness - we at ATIC are great believers in the healing powers of the creative arts #adolescents #arttherapy #arttherapydubai #mydubai #uae🇦🇪 #playtherapydubai #arttherapyuae #uae #dubaipsychology #dubai #expatdubai #dubailife #dubaiexpat #uaekids

All of us go through difficult experiences, share negative emotions which may feel overwhelming at times. All therapists at ATIC mandated as per postgraduate training have completed their own personal therapy for a minimum of at least two years - we know what it feels like to be on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, which has helped us formulate a humanistic, empathetic and strictly confidential approach. There should be no shame surrounding seeking help! #breakthestigma #whenwordsarenotenough #ATIC #arttherapy #expressivetherapy #mydubai #UAE #jordan#dubaipsychology #dubai (at ATIC)
