If you're a South Asian woman living with anxiety no one around you can see, therapy can help. I'm Rida and I offer virtual therapy for South Asian women across Toronto and the GTA who are struggling with anxiety, family pressure, and relationships
You're calm at work, agreeable at family gatherings, the daughter who never causes problems. Underneath, the anxiety is constant
Together we work on
-Anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, burnout
-Marriage pressure and in law dynamics
-Immigrant daughter guilt and family expectations
-Boundaries with parents in a collectivist family
-Being the caretaker, the translator, the easy one
Therapy with me is warm and unhurried. A first session can feel daunting, so I don't ask you to arrive with a tidy presenting issue. We start with a history intake and build the picture together. I use CBT, narrative, solution focused and person centred therapy through a culturally sensitive lens, so you never have to explain the family context.
I offer virtual therapy to South Asian women throughout Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Scarborough, Markham, and the wider GTA. Sessions are available in English and Urdu.
You don't need to have it figured out before you reach out. I offer a free 15 minute consultation, a short call with no pressure to book, so you can see whether we're a fit.
