Dr. Leyla Hassan

About

Leyla leads the clinical side of MindForward’s work: making sure that what we publish about burnout, anxiety, depression, and trauma responses is accurate without being intimidating. She has spent most of her career working with people whose distress is tangled up with migration, discrimination, and economic pressure, and she is openly impatient with mental-health advice that ignores those conditions. At MindForward she reviews our guides, trains our peer facilitators on when to refer onward, and writes about what professional assessment can and cannot offer — including the honest parts about waiting lists.
