As a Pakistani-American Muslim woman, my overlapping identities enable me to work with a variety of clients.
I aim for humility and open-mindedness; clients will find me equally supportive while gently challenging and redirecting them where necessary. I aspire toward a model called "decolonial therapy", which sits at the crossroads of the psychological, political, ancestral, and collective, and is accessible while offering a path to liberation and healing.

I feel that clients shouldn’t have to be in therapy forever. I’ve come to appreciate the wisdom of the body and its miraculous ability to heal. For this reason, I practice largely with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This approach is designed to help you process traumatic memories, alleviate distress, and breathe EASY again. Plainly stated, it calms the emotional pain and can help you regain the capacity to make sense of things again.

FAQ - About Muslim Counseling
What can a Muslim therapist help with?
Muslim therapists can help you with the same range of mental health concerns that any qualified therapist can, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and family conflict. They can support you in developing coping skills, communication strategies, and improving self-esteem. If you are Muslim, seeing a therapist who personally identifies as Muslim may be especially helpful when your mental health concerns intersect with your faith, culture, or identity. Topics that may be especially relevant to discuss with a therapist who shares your background include navigating discrimination, family expectations, gender norms, marriage expectations, religious questioning, or feeling disconnected from your faith or community.
Why might faith context matter in therapy for Muslim clients?
A therapist who understands Islamic beliefs may be better able to recognize how spirituality and religious observance affect your life. In some cases, a therapist may directly incorporate faith into therapy, which may be described as Islamic counseling, and is used alongside other types of mental health support. A shared faith context may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance since you may find more trust with a therapist who understands your background. At the same time, you and your therapist do not need to share the same faith or cultural background to work together effectively. Many therapists who are not Muslim can still provide culturally responsive care if they approach your beliefs, practices, and experiences with respect and humility, rather than making assumptions or dismissing the role of faith or culture.
How can a Muslim therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
A Muslim therapist can support couples counseling, family therapy, and marriage counseling for concerns such as communication challenges, conflict, parenting, intimacy, life transitions, and extended family stress. For example, Muslim marriage counseling may help a couple navigate disagreements about religious practices or managing expectations from extended family. For Muslim couples or families, therapy may include discussion of how Islamic values or community norms shape relationships. Therapy may be especially helpful when partners or family members have different expectations around marriage, gender roles, parenting, caregiving, or religious practice. Depending on your preferences, a Muslim therapist may incorporate faith-informed discussion alongside traditional therapy approaches, such as communication skills, emotional regulation strategies, and conflict-resolution techniques.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with Muslim clients?
If faith or cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Muslim clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask questions such as, “Have you worked with Muslim clients before?” or “How do you approach conversations about faith in therapy?” If a specific branch or tradition of Islam is important to you, you may also ask whether they have experience with your specific community, such as Sunni, Shia, or another Muslim community. As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Muslim therapists?
The directory of Muslim therapists includes mental health providers who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist with a similar background. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists identified as Muslim is limited, the directory will also show therapists with extensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
