Urdu-Speaking Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
As a first-generation immigrant and clinical psychologist in training with advanced doctoral expertise, I understand how heavy it can feel to carry anxiety, relationship tension, & cultural expectations. You may feel pulled between identities, unsure how to set boundaries, or overwhelmed by emotions. In therapy, you do not have to translate your experience. I meet you with curiosity, care, and tools that support lasting change.

Does any of this sound like you? You're exhausted, anxious and stuck. Life feels overwhelming and no matter what you do, you don't feel good enough. It feels like everyone except you has it "together". Maybe you have all you wanted on paper but it you don't feel fulfilled. You beat yourself up, drink too much or are stuck in the cycle of trying the newest Tiktok welllness trend, hoping this will make you feel better. It's not working and you wonder if you will ever feel happy and content. It's time for a change.

Sometimes, life challenges us with painful experiences that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. These deep and untreated wounds can hinder one's ability to be their true authentic self and live an empowered life. My goal is to provide my clients with a safe space to explore, challenge, and remove harmful patterns in their lives and create transformational healing. Using a collaborative approach, I walk alongside my clients as they develop new awareness, empathy, and meaning in their lives. I strive to unburden my clients from anxiety, depression, relationship distress, unhelpful narratives, and trauma to enhance life satisfaction.

I am open to seeing all clients, particularly women of color. I have expertise in working with people who have had histories of anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma. I am particularly trained in the treatment of PTSD and sexual trauma. My therapeutic style and orientation are eclectic. I mainly draw from existential-humanistic therapy, Gestalt therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I have worked extensively with queer/trans communities, people living with HIV, sex workers and injection drug users. My parents immigrated to New York City from Hyderabad (South India) in the 60s and I was raised Muslim.

They are ready to move beyond coping and build a life that feels intentional, regulated, and aligned with who they truly through the art of emotion.

It was another night of broken sleep. You're feeling drained and wishing for a moment of peace. You are constantly giving to others when you're running low and feel you have to continue. The pressures and stress of work, school, family, and relationships are piling up and weighing on your mind and body. At night when you lay down to sleep, the thoughts are racing and the worries return.
