Therapists in M5C

If you are just tired of giving and caring for everyone around you except for yourself, you’ve come to the right place. I come from a teaching background where students and duties came first. As a child of immigrant parents and currently a military spouse, I have also experienced increased stress due to frequent relocations and living far away from family and friends. A common block to getting much-needed help and support is the belief that self-care is selfish. The thing is by slowing down and taking care of your own emotional and mental needs you will be able to offer so much more to the world!

Noun Therapy is a person's place to heal things. We are a practice with an authentic approach and a deep desire to heal relationships whether that’s with yourself or another person. Our genuine love for human connection drives us to support you by exploring the patterns and challenges that are keeping you disconnected and defeated to make lasting change. We believe connection is the most important aspect of the therapeutic process – whether it is connection to yourself or healing a connection to an important other and, of course, in session connecting with your therapist.

What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now. -Buddha Changes in our lives is one thing that is inevitable and guaranteed to happen. It can feel hard and overwhelming at times. Taking care of oneself is about treating and caring for our entire being-our emotional, mental, physical. Whether you are going through a separation/divorce, starting a new relationship, or dealing with the pressures of family and cultural expectations, you are not alone. As a South Asian woman I understand the impact culture (family/extended family, community, religion, gender roles) can have on our decision making and life choices.

Having practiced as a Clinical Psychologist overseas for 20 years, I am very familiar with all kinds of conditions. If you are having relationship with your spouse or others, I can help. You might be stressed out trying to parent your children, whatever age they maybe and esp for offsprings who have ADHD, Autism or learning problems, I love to help. Or you maybe depressed, anxious, wanting to work out your inner issues so that you can be a happy person, I am here to give you a hand. Or you might have a lot of pain/stress in your life, with various kinds of addictions not knowing where to do, I am here to help you find your way out.

At times, it's hard to find a safe space to explore and discuss overwhelming feelings and issues challenging our daily lives. Sometimes seeking therapy can be intimidating and daunting. With understanding, non-judgement and warmth, I acknowledge the strength it takes to begin the therapeutic process. My commitment is to create a safe, confidential and welcoming space for you through your journey of healing and growth.

Whatever your reason for seeking therapy may be, it is paramount to my practice to actively cultivate an environment of support and non-judgement. Recognizing the uniqueness of each client I tailor my approach integrating evidence-based therapeutic modalities. Therapy is a collaborative process and it is through the establishment of a trusting and empathic connection between client and therapist that meaningful therapeutic work can occur. I prioritize the establishment and maintenance of a therapeutic rapport that fosters a safe space where you feel heard and valued. I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey!

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Samira & I offer a safe space where you can be heard and understood. Although seeking therapy may be difficult and quite intimidating at first - it’s one of the bravest things you can do - to take that step in order to understand your own story and start the healing process and journey. It definitely takes a lot of courage! Understanding this, I strive to provide a compassionate, safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you to feel comfortable to unburden yourself when it comes to the most personal and intimate parts of your life – one where you can explore and better understand yourself.

Navigating life can be challenging, considering suffering and uncertainty are central to the human experience. In efforts to feel happier, we tend to deny our pain, hoping it will eventually go away. It may be efficient for a while, but ultimately this prevents us from showing up authentically in our relationships and experiencing the very thing we want most: inner peace, confidence, connection and belonging. The good news is these challenges make us human, they are not uncommon, and you have what it takes to create the life you crave. It simply requires following your intuition and getting the support you need.

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.

In the realm of psychological well-being, each individual's journey is uniquely nuanced, often requiring a compassionate guide who is not only well-versed in the complexities of the human mind but also specializes in navigating its intricate challenges. That's where my professional expertise comes into play. Specializing in Education and Learning Disabilities, Parenting, and Relationships, my practice is rooted in the understanding that psychological support must be as diverse as the individuals seeking it.

I believe you have the innate capacity to heal from a range of issues such as eating disorders, domestic violence, marital difficulties, and more. I utilize my years of experience in addition to a holistic approach with evidence based practices that will guide you toward possibilities you couldn’t see before. Our therapeutic relationship is the foundation of safety and trust that will pave the way for your self exploration as you gain the tools to navigate life's changes.
