Dr. Hebah Khalifa (she/her/hers; pronounced Hib-a kuh-LEE-fah) is a licensed clinician with over 15 years of experience providing therapy through a culturally responsive, anti-oppressive, and socially conscious lens. She is trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), allowing for both depth-oriented and skills-based approaches. Her clinical focus includes trauma, anxiety, and complex life transitions.

As a first-generation American of Afro-Arab descent, Hebah understands the complexity of navigating multiple cultural expectations and the experience of feeling unseen or misunderstood. These experiences have shaped her commitment to creating spaces where individuals feel seen, respected, and supported in expressing their full selves.

Hebah founded Woven Threads with the intention of creating a space where individuals—particularly those from diverse and historically marginalized communities—feel supported in their healing. Her approach integrates evidence-based practices with compassion, cultural humility, and a commitment to social justice, allowing clients to move at a pace that honors their lived experience.

In addition to her clinical work, Hebah provides supervision and consultation to support the growth of other clinicians and contribute to a more inclusive mental health field. She believes in each person’s capacity for resilience, self-discovery, and meaningful change, and feels honored to walk alongside clients as they make sense of their experiences and move toward greater clarity and connection.

Outside of her work, Hebah is a new mom who enjoys antiquing, watching documentaries, and her love of 90s music and TV.
