Dalia Moamed

Dalia Moamed, MSED, MHC-LP, is a dedicated psychotherapist based in New York. She earned her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University, specializing in treating anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, mood dysregulation, stress, complex trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and interpersonal relationship issues.

Dalia provides in-person and remote therapy to adolescents, adults of all ages, families, and partners. She is especially passionate about couple’s work, and views building connection and relational insight as a beautiful part of her work with individuals and partners alike. With her background as a biracial, queer, second-generation immigrant woman, Dalia believes that it is deeply critical to serve exploited and oppressed populations, offering BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming services. Cultural sensitivity and connection building is at the heart of her therapeutic process with others.

Dalia’s professional background is rich with teaching, research, and clinical experiences. She has worked with a diverse population, including children, students, emerging to older adults, couples, and faculty, addressing various mental health issues and concerns. As a former preschool teacher, Dalia created safe and nurturing learning environments for children from infancy to six years old. She has also worked in special education classrooms with students of all age groups, reinforcing personal, social, behavioral, and academic learning goals following Applied Behavioral Analysis. Dalia’s research assistance focused on the necessity of mental health services, particularly in the clinical diagnosis and assessment of depression among Asian Americans, with a strong emphasis on social justice. She has also contributed to qualitative research on the help-seeking behaviors of emerging adults of color. In her undergraduate years, Dalia founded the Queer and Transgender People of Color Society (QTPOCS), a student organization hosting events to address, explore, celebrate, and validate the experiences of intersecting queer and transgender BIPOC identities on campus. 

Dalia approaches therapy through an integrative, identity-affirming lens that honors clients’ intersecting identities, lived adversities, and experiences as central to deep self-understanding and relational insight. In her practice, she is committed to collaborative healing grounded in advocacy, safety, empowerment, and meaningful insight. She strongly believes in utilizing compassion to empower her clients, and in elevating and strengthening their innate voices and stories. Dalia helps clients navigate life’s challenges, understand their attachment wounds, and build emotional resilience and understanding. She takes a personalized approach tailored to each person’s unique circumstances and needs. Her integrative approach includes psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive-behavioral, multicultural, feminist, and emotions-focused theoretical orientations.

Outside of her professional life, Dalia enjoys music, art, reading, yoga, and spending time with family and friends.
