Dr. Zeina Soued

** Dr. Soued will be accepting new clients in September 2025**

 

Dr. Zeina Soued is a postdoctoral fellow who provides individual therapy to adults and college students. She brings a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive approach to therapy, helping clients feel truly seen and supported. Her style blends person-centered and solution-focused frameworks, all through a multicultural lens.

​

Dr. Soued has experience supporting clients navigating:

• identity exploration

• cultural adjustment

• social belonging

• relationships

• family issues

• anxiety

• depression

• trauma

• grief

She believes change becomes possible through a strong, empathic connection with a therapist—one built on authenticity, trust, and mutual respect.

​

She enjoys working with college-age and adult populations both in-person in Chicago and via telehealth throughout Illinois. Dr. Soued has particular insight into Arab and Middle Eastern cultures and can offer therapy in a hybrid of Arabic and English, depending on her clients' comfort and preference.

​

Dr. Soued earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2023. She completed her predoctoral internship at Illinois State University’s Student Counseling Services and has trained in university counseling centers, private practice, and high school settings. She also holds two master’s degrees: one in Mental Health Counseling from Boston College (2016), and one in Clinical Psychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology (2019).​
