The Shifaa Method was developed by Dr. Abdallah Rothman as a response to a growing need for a therapeutic approach that honors the full reality of the human being — the heart, soul, intellect, and body. Drawing on Islamic spiritual psychology and years of clinical practice, the method offers a structured yet deeply human way of working with inner healing and transformation.
Founder and Clinical Director of Dar al-Shifaa, Dr. Rothman brings over 20 years of experience in Islamic psychology, integrative healing, and clinical training.

His approach holistically integrates heart, mind, and spirit in the healing process.
