Dr. Abir Aldhalimi’s inspiring journey—from growing up in a refugee camp to becoming an Ivy League-educated psychologist—has profoundly shaped her approach to mental health care. With experience across the U.S. and international communities, she has dedicated her career to better understanding mental health symptoms and expanding access to care for diverse populations.

Building on these experiences, Dr. Aldhalimi founded Unknotted, a modern mental health practice and online platform, that offers personalized, high-quality psychotherapy tailored to each client’s unique needs.

As a clinical psychologist with a specialization in behavioral medicine from Yale University School of Medicine and Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Aldhalimi has developed an innovative, evidence-based model for mental health care. Her approach takes an integrated view of mental well-being, examining how interconnected factors—such as sleep, diet, nutrition, stress, and relationships—contribute to mental health. By combining evidence-based interventions like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with personalized strategies, she helps clients achieve meaningful and sustainable change.
