FAQ -

MS. Yasmine Abdel Maksoud

What causes personality disorders?
- Personality disorders are complex conditions that usually develop from a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Research shows that inherited traits may play a role, as well as differences in brain functioning that affect emotions and behavior. Early life experiences, such as childhood trauma, neglect, or unstable family environments, can also contribute to the development of maladaptive patterns. Social influences, cultural pressures, and chronic stress further shape how these traits manifest. While no single factor can explain their origin, personality disorders are best understood as the outcome of multiple influences interacting over time.
  Causes of Personality Disorders
Does Ms. Yasmin Abl El Maksoud specialize in personality disorders?
- Yes. Personality disorders are a central focus of Ms. Yasmin’s clinical practice. She works with individuals who experience enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may cause distress or difficulty in relationships, work, or daily functioning. Her approach involves helping clients understand these patterns, exploring their origins, and gradually developing healthier ways of thinking, relating, and coping. By combining evidence-based therapies with a compassionate, non-judgmental style, she supports clients in building stronger self-awareness and achieving greater emotional stability.
What other conditions does she treat?
- Beyond personality disorders, Ms. Yasmin provides therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, addiction, and autism spectrum conditions. She also supports clients with stress, burnout, and relational difficulties. Her broad expertise allows her to tailor therapy to diverse needs, ensuring each client receives individualized strategies that target both symptom relief and long-term growth.
What is her therapeutic approach?
- Her approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based practice. She integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation and coping skills, and psychodynamic methods to uncover deeper influences from past experiences. By combining these approaches, Ms. Yasmin creates flexible, goal-oriented treatment plans that address both immediate challenges and underlying causes. She values building a strong therapeutic alliance, as trust and collaboration are essential for lasting change.
How does she support clients with addiction?
- Addiction treatment with Ms. Yasmin goes beyond addressing surface-level symptoms. She helps clients explore the root causes of addictive behaviors, such as unresolved trauma, stress, or unmet emotional needs. Therapy focuses on breaking harmful cycles, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and fostering resilience. She also incorporates relapse prevention strategies, stress management tools, and motivational work. When needed, she collaborates with psychiatrists, medical professionals, or support groups to provide holistic care.
Does Ms. Yasmin work with both children and adults?
- Yes. Ms. Yasmin supports both children and adults, tailoring her approach to developmental needs. With children, especially those on the autism spectrum or experiencing learning and behavioral difficulties, she integrates family involvement and school collaboration. For adults, therapy often focuses on managing stress, improving emotional health, and resolving complex relational or identity-related challenges. In all cases, she creates a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel understood and empowered.
