Ulla Attia is an experienced mental health professional with extensive expertise in family therapy and addiction treatment. She has served as both a family therapist and a primary therapist in substance use disorder and mental health settings, bringing a deep understanding of addiction as a family systems issue rather than solely an individual struggle. Her diverse clinical background includes working with individuals and families across a wide range of populations, including those with cognitive and intellectual disabilities.

Ulla’s treatment philosophy is grounded in the belief that addiction cannot be effectively treated with “one-size-fits-all” methods. She emphasizes individualized care that adapts to each person’s unique circumstances, helping clients achieve and maintain sobriety on their own terms. Her approach integrates multiple evidence-based modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI)—to address the complex interplay between addiction, mental health, and relational patterns.

A key component of her methodology is addressing co-occurring issues and the root causes of addiction, rather than focusing solely on symptom management. She believes that sustainable recovery comes from understanding the emotional, relational, and psychological dynamics underlying addiction. This philosophy sets her apart from traditional programs that rely on standardized protocols.

Through her commitment to a continuum of care model, Ulla provides ongoing, personalized support beyond initial treatment. She collaborates closely with individuals and families to design comprehensive, realistic treatment plans that build on each person’s strengths while targeting areas for growth. By fostering connection, understanding, and empowerment, Ulla helps clients and families achieve lasting recovery and healthier relationships.
