alkalma Wellbeing Centre Al Falah

Located in Al Falah Central Mall in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, this outpatient wellbeing centre offers psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and applied behaviour analysis (ABA). Care covers children, teens, adults, couples and older adults, with treatment for depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, eating disorders, bipolar disorder and substance misuse.

Coordinated Care From One Team

A multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, clinical and child psychologists, occupational therapists and speech and language pathologists builds a care plan around each person. Therapies include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy, mindfulness-based and trauma-informed therapy, and couples and family therapy. Individual and group sessions are offered, and online sessions run by secure video.

Programmes for Mood and Development

The Horizon programme supports people with ongoing anxiety or depression through monthly care packages that combine psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, workshops and skills groups, guided by a care coordinator. BrightMinds serves children and students with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning or regulation difficulties through ABA-informed sessions, speech and occupational therapy, and parent coaching.

Spaces Designed for Comfort and Privacy

The Al Falah clinic is designed with comfort and privacy in mind, with private consultation rooms, bright waiting lounges and a children's sensory room with soft play mats, a gym ball and a basketball hoop. Family members can join sessions with the patient's consent, and most clinicians speak English plus one or two other languages, including Arabic.
