Dalia Moamed

Dalia Moamed, MSED, MHC-LP, is a dedicated psychotherapist and couples counselor based in New York. She earned her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University, specializing in treating anxiety disorders, depressive mood, relationship ruptures, childhood trauma, attachment struggles, life transitions, and identity exploration.

Dalia provides in-person and remote therapy to adults of all ages, partners, and families. She is especially passionate about couple’s work, viewing 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 it is deeply critical to serve exploited and oppressed populations, offering BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming services. Cultural sensitivity and connection building are at the heart of her therapeutic process with others.

Dalia’s professional background is rich with teaching, research, and clinical experiences. She worked with a diverse population, including children, students, emerging to older adults, couples, and faculty, addressing various mental health issues and concerns. Dalia has a history of building safe and nurturing learning environments for children from infancy to six years old as both a former preschool teacher and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) paraprofessional. As a researcher, her previous assistance focused on the necessity of mental health services as a means of social justice; particularly in the clinical diagnosis and assessment of depression among Asian Americans and help-seeking behaviors of emerging adults of color. During her undergraduate years, Dalia founded the Queer and Transgender People of Color Society (QTPOCS) at Stockton University, an organization dedicated to fostering community, advocacy, and belonging for queer and transgender BIPOC students—an experience that continues to inform her ongoing commitment to providing affirming, culturally responsive care.

Dalia approaches therapy through a process-centered, emotions-focused, and identity-affirming lens that honors clients’ intersecting identities, lived adversities, and experiences as central to deep self-understanding and relational insight. She is passionate about working with those open to digging deeper into emotional experiences often lost in the day-to-day. In her practice, she is committed to healing grounded in emotional attunement, advocacy, empowerment, and meaningful insight. She strongly believes in making space for the unconscious mind to freely divulge so her clients can learn about themselves in a meaningful way, and in revealing and strengthening their innate voices and stories. Dalia helps clients navigate relationship challenges, understand their attachment wounds, and build emotional clarity and understanding. She takes a nonjudgmental approach tailored to each person’s unique story. Her integrative approach focuses on psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive-behavioral, multicultural, feminist, and emotions-focused theoretical orientations.

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