Portrait of Dr. Carole Saadé

About me

Hello, I’m Dr. Carole Saadé.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and CBT psychotherapist in Lebanon. My work centres on the difficulties that make everyday life feel heavier than it should, for adults, couples, families and teenagers.

I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK), and I teach clinical psychology and psychopathology at the Lebanese University. Teaching keeps me close to current research.

I serve on the board of the Lebanese Order of Psychologists, and I was Secretary General of the Lebanese Psychological Association for its 2023–2026 mandate.
