Therapists in Frisco, TX

I am an EMDR and Neurofeedback trained Licensed Professional Counselor. I have experience working with individuals, families, teens and adolescents. I am bi-lingual in English and Arabic. My approach in therapy is existential and person center oriented. I like to take my time to listen and challenge a client’s thoughts so that we can expand on self-awareness.

There are moments in life when we may feel overwhelmed. We may have tried everything in our power to overcome challenges and feel stuck. When we continue to face difficulties we may not realize the impact the stress has on our relationships, work life, finances, or overall health. In our time together we can examine the influences in your life including sources of trauma and societal pressures. We will incorporate your values and coping skills. Most importantly, we find hope for you to live a life that is meaningful for you.

Is your relationship in a relationslip? Lack of sex and communication? Infidelity? Are life's issues getting overwhelming? Is it hard to cope and get your stress under control? Let me help you in these areas. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, marriage, or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to hearing from you and working with you to achieve your goals.

Relationships are complicated. Our relationships can bring us great joy, but also great and lasting pain. Many of the burdens that we carry come from our relationships with others, both past and present. These relationships, then, need to be part of our emotional healing, whether or not other people participate in counseling. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I believe that we all have the ability to heal within our relationships and within ourselves. It is the goal of the counseling process, then, to empower us to heal and change in order to live more balanced and fulfilling lives.

Welcome! My name is Ruquiyah and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. I believe that every person has the ability to reach to their fullest potential in life with the right support and guidance. There are times that you may feel anxious, depressed hopeless and alone. In these times, it can be very helpful to have someone to help you navigate your way through these challenges to a state of mental wellness and stability. Counseling can provide a safe and confidential space to learn skills and address feelings that likely impact many areas of your life.

My main goal is empowering my clients to build up their self-esteem and learn new ways to look at their lives through a mentally healthy lens. I also excel in building healthy relationships, remaining authentic, and providing a safe environment to learn to maintain a healthy way of living. I have wanted to be a therapist since I was in fifth grade and I am living my dream and I want to help my clients find ways to live their dreams as well. It is hard enough to ask for help, and I want to make it inviting and easier for my clients to have the help they deserve from the first session to their last.

Do you feel heavy with despair, struggling each day to keep your head just above the darkness and dread? Does it take every ounce of energy to stay afloat? Or are you feeling overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness? Do you feel like you’re not being heard by your partner? Or not appreciated? Is there an issue surrounding a lack of faithfulness, money, being a parent, the in-laws, or work? Or maybe you’d both just love to connect on a deeper level? Do you want to better understand and cope with previous trauma? Are you feeling profound sadness after the death of a loved one? I deeply value, understand and listen.

Are you struggling with your child or teen's behavioral outbursts or meltdowns? Do you feel completely lost and have no idea how to reach them or help them? If you do, and you feel you have exhausted all of your ideas, I can help.

Do you feel stuck? Are you finding yourself repeating the same behaviors despite your best efforts to change? Are you trying to find purpose and peace while life circumstances continue to throw you curve balls? You are not alone in this! We all have times during our lives where we can use some extra support, a safe place to explore our feelings and process our personal worlds without the fear of rejection or judgment. You have the choice to make changes to live a healthier, happier life.

I believe that life is a series of adjustments and living with painful memories or troubling feelings is exhausting. I would love the opportunity to support you and guide you along your journey. The most important piece between the client and therapist is the clinical rapport. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment. I view psychotherapy as a collective process between client and therapist. I help people who are suffering from anxiety and depression, people who feel stressed and people who have experienced painful and traumatic life events.

Children often do not have the words to express what they are thinking or feeling. Traditional talk therapy alone is rarely successful in helping children process difficult life situations. I help children overcome anxiety, depression, and social challenges. I also assist parents in building strong, open relationships with their children. If your child is going through anxiety, sadness, behavior problems, social issues, or life changes (divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.) I am happy to walk along side them in their journey.

I believe that counseling is an internal process that requires participation, commitment, and willingness to delve into personal issues; and that as a team, each client can work together with me to discover how he or she can experience a more satisfying life. For this reason, she prefers a Person Centered approach to therapy, while also employing the Family System Method to treatment, knowledgeable about the impact that our environments and early experiences have on the development of our personalities and realities.
