Teletherapy for Houston, TX

بالکل جیسے جسمانی صحت کا علاج ضروری ہے، نفسیاتی و ذہنی صحت بھی اتنی ہی ضروری ہے۔ میں اپنی تہذیب و معاشرتی رجحانات کے لحاظ سے جانتا ہوں کہ کتنا مشکل ہے کسی ماہر نفسیات یا کاونسلر سے بات کرنا۔ لیکن آپ جان لیں مجھ سے مل کر آپ کا خوف دور ہو جائے گااور صرف آپ کی صحت یابی پر توجہ کی جائے گی۔

Life is stressful and full of events that make us anxious and sad at times. Even our relationships can be full of challenges such as issues with communication and connection. Or maybe you're experiencing a crisis of your faith, religious or cultural beliefs. Whatever source of turmoil you're facing, know that I am here to help. As a therapist, I specialize in guiding clients toward understanding their triggers and developing practical coping skills. With a secure and compassionate environment, we can work together towards finding the solutions that are best for you.

Online and In-person medication management, therapy, psychological testing, advanced psychiatric procedures.

I am a relationship counselor who specializes in working with high-conflict couples. We believe that our behavior patterns in relationships are often shaped by experiences from childhood. For instance, a couple that is excited to get married may find themselves constantly arguing and feeling rejected. I can help track the cycle of conflict (Emotional Family Therapy by Sue Johnson) connecting/contrasting the secondary and primary emotions and noting the attachment impact of the couple.

As a first-generation immigrant Muslim woman, I am grateful to offer representation to those who are seeking to improve their mental health. I was raised as the eldest daughter in an immigrant family dynamic and have an extensive understanding of these family systems and how they affect individuals of different birth orders. I have worked with clients of a variety of age ranges, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds and pride myself on multicultural awareness and consideration. I hope to help you make steps towards your ideal self by assisting you in building a functional toolbox with tools you can reach for along the way.

Perhaps you’ve tried a few therapists and weren't able to connect. Maybe you never saw yourself represented, or that therapy felt too manualized. You’ve pushed off therapy for a while now, not because you're too prideful to get the support you need, but because the help you are looking for hasn’t centered your beliefs, identity(ies) and understanding of well-being. You want support that centers all of who you are, and you are looking for authentic, experienced care that can help you gain clarity, confidence, and contentment.

Therapy allows us to pause for a moment and reflect on our priorities, goals, and values. Via therapy, I hope to provide a safe and empathic space, to foster a relationship based on trust and respect, and to listen to your concerns and anxieties. Throughout sessions, together, we can recognize counterproductive thought patterns, nurture inner strength, and learn new coping strategies. I specialize in anxiety stemming from people pleasing, perfectionism, & poor boundary setting. This space is filled with high achievers who, though have great intentions, deal with several stressors and pressures which affects their quality of life.

"There are many ways of getting strong, sometimes talking is the best way..." - Andre Agassi ....Individuals from all walks of life, ethnicities, and backgrounds experience feelings of depression, anxiety, frustration, or hopelessness. We sometimes find ourselves unable to communicate the way we would like to or lack the motivation to even try.

You may have a goal of living a meaningful life in all its richness and seeking help with interpersonal or mental health symptom related concerns? Depression, anxiety, history of trauma? Are you, your family or relations journeying through life transitions or in need of support related to medical-health concerns? There are times in life when it feels like you are barely keeping your head above water. Not a fun feeling! More importantly, I work with compassion, empathy, and am non-judgmental, while creating a safe space for you to explore and understand.

Are you a teen or young adult who overthinks, worries too much, has difficulty focusing because of stress, or fears you're falling behind? Do college, choosing a career path, managing relationships or life transitions feel overwhelming? The pressure to be attractive, fit in, feel understood, earn top grades, and get into the best schools are hard on teens. Choosing a career path, interviewing, living on your own or supporting yourself, or making big relationship decisions can feel scary as a young adult. You don’t have to go this alone. I provide individual counseling and couples counseling for adults, adolescents, and children.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of life? Do you worry about not doing enough or doing too much? Are significant life transitions making it challenging to navigate through everyday struggles? Stress can impact our focus and leave us feeling directionless. While we can't change the past's complex situations, we can work together to face challenges and find more meaning in life. By exploring our values, beliefs, and worldview, I believe we can work together to create a more fulfilling life.

Hello and welcome….I congratulate you on the courageous decision to choose YOU. Let’s uncover the most inspiring and authentic version of you together. Allow me to be your guide and supporter on this journey of self-discovery and growth. In my 20 plus years as a therapist, I have been a healer of hearts and a gentle nurturer for the soul.

Do you struggle with self-doubt and relationships? Do you have difficulty explaining what it's like to navigate between two different cultures or to deal with family of origin issues?

Together, we'll work towards fostering self-compassion and healthy boundaries, processing and healing the impacts of familial/societal rules, recovering from disordered eating, and more. As a US-born child of South Asian immigrants, I have a special interest in working with young adult children of immigrants.

My training has prepared me to provide tailored counseling to individuals, couples, and children navigate challenges of marriage, divorce, and illness or loss of loved ones.
