Arabic-Speaking Therapists in Austin, TX
I incorporate my experience at Meridell Achievement Center, which includes working with high-risk individuals that struggled with suicidal ideation/ self-harm/ aggression/ severe depression and anxiety/ and family and social conflict, into my therapeutic technique. Yet, I will work with your unique story by exploring your struggles and unhealthy coping mechanisms to find the turning point that can be reversed using cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focus therapy techniques. I use my unique observation techniques to help them discover both healthy and mal-adaptive sub-conscious patterns.

Same fight, three times this week. A betrayal you can't move past. The relationship that has you doubting your own perception. Bringing old baggage in new relationships. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I work with individuals across Texas with a particular focus on people healing from controlling, codependent, or abusive relationships or the patterns that often come with them: overthinking, people-pleasing, anxiety, and trust-issues. I also work with couples navigating communication breakdown, recurring conflict, or affair recovery.

You were brought up to talk a certain way, live a certain way, look a certain way, and love a certain way. But deep down, you don't believe much of that anymore. So, you hide. You don't want to be a disappointment to your friends & family. The constant pushing down of your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings is killing you and getting harder and harder to keep from spilling onto every part of your life. I help people dig out from under the mess. To accept & celebrate all aspects of their identities and to improve their relationships both in and out.

Be silly. Be playful. Be human. Research shows that the greatest therapeutic outcome is dependent on the relationship between client and therapist. I bring my authentic self into the therapeutic space to fully see, and then understand the child’s emotional experience through play. Children experience similar emotions as adults, yet developmentally are not equipped to process them in the same way.

Are you feeling overwhelmed during pregnancy, postpartum, or while facing fertility challenges? As an IVF and NICU parent, I know how it feels. I understand the constant worry, thoughts, grief over how things “should have” gone, and the struggle to find your sense of self in these intense, uncertain seasons of parenthood. You want relief from the relentless fear and mental load. You want to sleep, stop bracing for the worst, and feel confident caring for your baby—or navigating the journey toward one. Most of all, you want to feel like yourself again—grounded, capable, and present—so you can move forward with hope, strength and joy.

I work with people weighed down by anxiety, depression, or strained family relationships—where conflict, distance, or old wounds leave them feeling drained and misunderstood. Some feel stuck in their own thoughts, others carry years of frustration or hopelessness. Together, we gently untangle what's holding them back, and I walk beside them as they rediscover their strength and clarity.
