Mrs. Syriani joined the Department of Psychiatry at the American University of Beirut Medical Center in 2013 as a clinical psychologist/psychotherapist, providing therapy interventions for axis I and axis II disorders with a special emphasis on schizophrenia.

She contributed to the establishment of rehabilitation and coordinated programs for this patient population, and founded the Friends and Work Association specialized in the social reintegration of patients with chronic mental illnesses, focusing on evidence-based interventions to provide support for the patients and their families.
In parallel with her experience with psychosis and her leading role in the field, Mrs. Syriani works with adolescents and adults presenting with mood and bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, personality disorders, ADHD, and PTSD, as this was her main role at Beirut Mental Health Clinic, prior to joining ACPN.
