Therapists in Newcastle, ON

As-salamu alaykum, dear sisters. I'm really glad you're here. My name is Zaynab, and I'm a Canadian Registered Psychotherapist living in Al Madina Al Munawwarah. I am committed to the healing, growth, and well-being of my Muslim sisters. I provide online therapy that is deeply rooted in the shared values of our beautiful faith, Islam, including trust, kindness, compassion, sincerity, and purpose. The work we do together is faith-focused and integrated with Islamic Psychology. This means your deen and connection with Allah are nurtured with the utmost care as we tend to your mental health and overall well-being, in shaa Allah.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO. I obtained a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the United States. My integrated psychotherapy approach for individual adults/teenagers, couples, and families combines relational, emotion-focused, attachment informed, trauma informed, and somatic elements. This comprehensive approach emphasizes the importance of your relationship with yourself and others, encourages emotional exploration, considers attachment histories, acknowledges trauma's impact, and fosters trust and positive self-esteem. It aims to promote individual/relational healing, inside and out.

Healing can be so messy, hard but so beautiful. On this path, I hope to guide you through the high and lows that come with being human. As a Black, muslim therapist, I use my own experiences coupled with my passion to predominantly provide support for folks struggling with depression and/or anxiety and those who are struggling with an eating disorder. My goal is to work with you in creating effective goals to get to the root of your problems to then reduce the symptoms you are experiencing, so you can live the life you want. I aim to create a positive and open space for you to safely navigate through your experiences.

As a racialized, non-binary Muslim immigrant from Pakistan, my specialty includes the intersection of queerness and racialization. I also excel with clients who occupy diasporic identities, identify as immigrants or children of immigrants, and want to discuss intergenerational connections and traumas. As a radical therapist, I intentionally include a macro perspective in the work I do; this can mean acknowledging oppressive systems including imperialism, capitalism, and colonialism and how they make it difficult to establish resilient and communal mental health.

Imagine unleashing the true version of your 'Self' & knowing the treasures you have inside you! Sometimes we get stuck thinking about the past and it's exhausting, replaying what happened and wishing you could forget and move on. If you have a history of trauma, a painful childhood, or have suffered from anxiety/depression, OCD, grief, or phobias, then this is even more true of you. Every time you let go off old perspectives, conditioning & hurt you allow yourself to heal & create a new future because every breath is a chance to be reborn. Allow yourself to find joy in the ordinary, evolve, liberate & reclaim your 'Self'! Live It...

I can help you find some peace, with a few satisfying 'A-ha' moment here and there, so you can release the toxic patterns for good!
