Cultural & Expat Family Counseling

Supporting Families in a Multicultural City

Dubai is home to people from all over the world, which makes family life both exciting and complex. Cultural differences, relocation stress, and fast-paced professional demands can sometimes create misunderstandings or emotional distance within families. At the American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, our Cultural & Expat Family Counseling offers specialized support to help families adapt, reconnect, and thrive in their unique circumstances.
