Vesna Orehovac Shalabi is a Senior Clinical Psychologist with an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Belgrade University (1982). She has extensive international experience working with clients of all age groups across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa in war and post-war contexts. Her practice is culturally sensitive and oriented toward identifying the core issues of trauma, addressing emotional burdens, and guiding clients toward healing and resilience. Vesna integrates a wide range of therapeutic modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Trauma Buster Technique (TBT).
She specializes in treating PTSD, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, impulse control issues, eating and sleeping disorders, and psychosomatic conditions. Guided by her philosophy that “therapy is a path towards finding love towards ourselves and life,” Vesna views love as the highest vibration, one that unites, heals, and transcends cultural and individual boundaries.
