Wejdan Felmban has an MA in Clinical Psychology from Cardinal Stritch University (WI) and a PhD in Educational Psychology from University of Northern Colorado. Wejdan also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. She is a certified Telemental Health Provider-Associate, and trained in the Integration of Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and sandtray therapy. She is trained in Gottman Method Level 2, Emotion Focused Therapy, EMDR for Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). She received post-graduate training at the Denver Family Institute for Marriage and Family Therapy and has worked with refugees in Wisconsin and Colorado for almost 4 years.
Wejdan, Arabic name means deep emotions or conscience, (she/her) is passionate about helping people from all ages understand themselves, grow, heal, and have healthy relationships. Wejdan loves working with children and is inspired to use play as a language to connect with children and understand their worlds, fears, hopes, and strengths and help them recover and cope.
Wejdan enjoys working with clients who feel devalued, dismissed, or oppressed, misunderstood, experiencing acculturation stress, navigating multiple minoritized identities. She empowers clients experiencing identity-based trauma to embrace their strengths. She helps clients become aware of their negative cycles and attachment coping strategies and gives them several options/ alternatives to break out of these negative cycles and instead cultivate self-compassion, acceptance, connection, and hope.
In a Sandtray session with Wejdan, you’ll be invited to let your eyes find the miniatures on the shelves. Your heart and mind can agree to not judge instincts invited by your eyes’ curiosity and your hand’s choices. Having memories shown in symbolic form can help clients create a relationship with their own nervous system while providing a safe distance talking about miniatures. Sandtray therapy can widen the clients’ capacity for holding stress as it makes more contact with the client’s inherent resilience (Homeyer, & amp; Lyles, 2021. Advanced Sandtray Therapy).
In her downtime, Wejdan enjoys talking to her family in Saudi Arabia via video calls, playing with Lego and mini building blocks, and spending time with her friends and chosen family in the US. Wejdan would love the opportunity to work with you!
