About Dr. Ketam Hamdan

Dr. Ketam Hamdan is a licensed therapist, educator, speaker, and thought leader in the neuroscience of healing. Her work sits at the intersection of psychology, brain science, trauma, and human transformation.

Growing up in a Middle Eastern culture where mental health was stigmatized, Dr. Hamdan experienced firsthand the isolation and frustration that can come with emotional struggles. Traditional talk therapy left her feeling hopeless. Over the course of a decade, she studied with some of the world’s leading experts in neuroscience, trauma, spirituality, and psychology.

Through this integrative journey, she rewired her own nervous system and transformed her wellbeing. Today, she is devoted to helping others do the same, using science-backed methods and deeply human wisdom to demystify the healing process.

Education & Training

Founder of Brain Health | Trauma & Relationship Expert | Inner AI™ Creator

Dr. Ketam Hamdan holds a Ph.D. in Psychology. As well as a Master’s in Religion and Psychology from Harvard University, and a Master of Science from Columbia University. Her groundbreaking doctoral research explored spiritual bypassing, specifically how people may unconsciously use spiritual practices to avoid facing unresolved psychological wounds.

Dr. Hamdan is deeply committed to lifelong learning and integrates spiritual, clinical, and neuroscientific approaches to healing. She specializes in complex trauma, the kind of trauma that keeps people emotionally stuck despite success or self-awareness. Her work focuses on helping clients break free from unconscious survival patterns and build deeper emotional safety from within.

One of her greatest passions is relationship healing, especially the relationship we have with ourselves. She believes childhood attachment wounds are at the root of many adult struggles, particularly in love and intimacy. While many people focus on improving their relationships with others, Dr. Hamdan teaches that the most transformative work begins with learning how to relate to your own inner world with curiosity, compassion, and clarity.
