We are proud to be the first multidisciplinary standalone therapeutic center in Saudi Arabia to be licensed by the Ministry of Health; and can confidently say that we have and continue to play a vital
role in challenging the stigma, normalizing therapy, providing support for mental health needs, as well as offering a confidential, ethical, professional, and culturally appropriate space for our valued clients.
In life, we encounter many difficult situations such as facing separation, loss, and emotional struggles; loneliness and sadness. These occurrences and more can have an overwhelming effect on all of us. Nobody gives us a manual on life, therefore it’s normal to wish for support in times of need.
There are those that believe going to therapy means that they’re “sick in the head”, when in actuality people go to therapy for many different reasons; childhood trauma, abuse, everyday life stresses, grief, problems within the family, work, need to reflect, etc. Finding ways to deal and navigate those issues can be done through lifestyle changes, confiding in family member, and friends. However, you might reach a point where no one around you understands your feelings and struggles; that is when seeing a professional is important and can significantly help.
ACT Center’s approach to therapy is holistic and multidisciplinary, tailored to individuals, couples, and families, with the aim of enhancing their overall quality of life, alleviating suffering, and increase coping skills. Through a high standard of innovative specialist ethical and accessible client-centered services, as well as the unrivaled dedication and commitment of the entire clinical and administrative team, we are committed to the philosophy that we exist for the client.

5 female psychotherapists, who after graduating from and training in the UK and the US, returned to Jeddah and found that there was a large gap in the mental health arena in terms of the necessary services provided, awareness about mental health, as well as the stigma and taboos attached; not to mention the lack of the appropriate environment for therapists to be supported, to grow, train, and develop. Hence, we joined forces and started ACT Center in 2011 and we can proudly say that it has been and continues to strongly be a space where clients receive the highest standards of treatment they deserve and where therapists flourish.
It is the people who make ACT Clinic what it is and we are extremely proud of the achievements of our
staff. We all work together to help our patients through recovery, providing the best possible care.
Client confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Here at ACT, we take additional measures to maintain all of our clients’ privacy and trust.
At ACT we value that people receive the care they deserve.
We consider respect to be one of the most important value in a therapeutic relationship. We respect our client’s personal values, beliefs, culture, background, emotions, point of view, and time. In return it reflects feelings of trust, safety, and wellbeing in the therapeutic environment.
Accountability is a two-way street. ACT takes responsibility of ensuring that the client receives the best care possible, and the client is responsible of their own well-being and the effort they put into their treatment.
By providing quality services, we ensure that our clients have everything they need to enhance their quality of life.
We care about your privacy.
We look forward to having you.
