Hi, my 15 year old daughter has been seeing a psychiatrist for over 18 months and is on antidepressants. However, she is not comfortable seeing the psychiatrist anymore and feels she wants to wean off the medication. I am hoping to find a GP who can prescribe the medication while weaning her off it. I am also looking for a CBT therapist or child psychologist who can treat her alongside the GP.
Can anyone please recommend a suitable GP or psychologist?

There's a CBT therapist at Moving Forward: [email protected]. She has helped my friend work through a lot of issues. Dr. Fisher at Cooper Medical Center is a GP who will prescribe anti depressants when needed.

There is a new clinic opening in Healthcare city offering a full Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service. It is called Camali Clinic. They sound like they could help you.

Hi I can recommend Cassandra DeBaere at the Wellbeing Medical Clinic. She is a fantastic psychologist and can surely help, or else refer you to a colleague. I would also ask her in regards to a good GP who is familiar with Pharmapsychology, especially here in Dubai where prescriptions can be filled quite easily, without the proper knowledge. There are also other options, if you would more information you can contact me privately. Hope this helps a little!
