You're a woman of color who looks like you have it all together but deep down you’re falling apart. You’re tired of trying to keep it together all the time. You’re taking care of everyone else but it feels like no one takes care of you. You probably don't even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way or it feels like a distant memory. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to take better care of yourself. You’re ready to stop being so hard on yourself all the time. But most of all, you’re ready to feel at peace with who you are.

This constant anxiety, followed by crippling bouts of trauma is preventing you from living your life. Everyone can be hard on themselves, but your mind has become downright violent. It’s exhausting trying to anticipate when it will strike next. You can’t trust your own thoughts. It’s obvious that your painful past isn’t going away on its own. It takes all you’ve got to get through the day. And most days it takes more than that. Stuck in a vicious cycle with no end in sight, you know you can’t handle this alone anymore. But what choice do you have?

I was raised in Arab Muslim community, and use this experience to create space where context is understood without exhausting explanations.
You might feel caught between worlds. Tired of explaining yourself, of fragmenting who you are to make others comfortable. I work with young adults, children of immigrants, and people navigating queer/religious identity. My clients often feel the weight of being a "model minority", and the loneliness of living between cultures in a place that often erases and devalues BIPOC identity. They might deal with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or relationship/familial/community challenges rooted in these complex intersections. I offer my clients a space built on shared understanding, where no part of your identity feels like a contradiction.

You’ve spent so much time trying to hold everything together—showing up for everyone, pushing through stress, keeping your feelings in check. On the outside, you look “fine,” but inside you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted. Maybe you’re the responsible one, the strong one, the people-pleaser… and it’s starting to wear on you.
If you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone. Many of my clients say things like, “I don’t know why I’m so hard on myself,” or “I’m tired of putting everyone else first.” Therapy can be the place where you finally get to set all of that down.

Therapy is a space where you don’t have to hold everything together. Healing happens in community. I work with emerging adults and adults, particularly those from multicultural backgrounds, who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions of identity. You may be feeling overwhelmed with anxiety and depression while appearing "high functioning" on the outside, or trying to understand how past trauma keeps you feeling dysregulated. You may experience chronic self-doubt, or be the first one in your family attending therapy and breaking generational patterns.

FAQ - Arab and Middle Eastern Counseling
What can an Arab and Middle Eastern therapist help with?
An Arab and Middle Eastern therapist can support clients with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. However, what may make their approach unique is their ability to integrate an understanding of the cultural, family, and social factors that may be shaping your mental health concerns. If you identify with a Middle Eastern background, such as Arab, North African, Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, or Palestinian, working with a therapist who is familiar with values surrounding family loyalty, community expectations, religion, marriage, and caregiving responsibilities can help reduce the need to explain yourself in sessions and better support your healing in the context of your background.
How does cultural background influence the therapy experience?
A therapist who personally identifies as Arab or Middle Eastern may offer a deeper understanding of cultural norms, family dynamics, religious beliefs, migration experiences, and the stigma that may surround mental health in some communities. This shared cultural framework can make it easier to build trust and focus more directly on healing. It is also important to note that a therapist does not have to share your background to provide effective therapy. In some cases, finding a culturally competent therapist may be just as important as finding one who shares your background.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in the language they grew up speaking or thinking in, such as Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Kurdish, or Turkish. Clients may feel more comfortable expressing themselves without having to translate their thoughts, which can reduce the risk of losing meaning or nuance. For many Arab and Middle Eastern clients, language is also closely tied to family relationships. Being able to move between English and your native language in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. This flexibility to move between languages in sessions can make therapy feel more natural and relevant to daily life.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Arab and Middle Eastern clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Arab and Middle Eastern clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask whether they have worked with concerns related to cultural identity, immigration, family expectations, intergenerational conflict, discrimination, or stigma around mental health. As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A strong therapeutic alliance does not necessarily require a therapist to share your background, but they should respond to your concerns with respect and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your background constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Arab and Middle Eastern therapists?
The directory of Arab and Middle Eastern therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists who have personally identified as Arab or Middle Eastern is limited, the directory may also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
