Are you feeling like life could be more fulfilling, but fear, worry, and sadness seem to be holding you back? You've been on a journey, trying to find peace and happiness independently, and you've carried the weight of your emotions in silence for far too long. You're an empathetic person, deeply connected to your relationships, but sometimes, the emotional toll can feel overwhelming. You've considered seeking professional help, but doubts have held you back. Will your therapist truly understand your unique experiences, your culture, your background, and your upbringing?

Depressive and anxious thoughts do not have to take over your days and keep you from having a peaceful life. From my personal experience as well as research, I can assure you that people do get better and they are able to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life using some basic cognitive and behavioral tools. I had patients tell me: "this is the most peaceful I've ever been", and "I've always known myself as a depressed person, but now it only feels like a bad ankle that I can ignore and live a fulfilling life with". Basic tools of CBT and ACT have helped thousands of people, you can be one too.

Furthermore, I received my psychology BA from UT-Austin and my M.Ed. from Lamar University. Working at the different settings has provided me with a diverse experience on different mental health issues with various intensities.

Having support can make navigating life's challenges manageable. Making the decision to seek help is already a huge step, so you should be proud of yourself!

As a Pakistani-Muslim therapist, I can do therapy in English, Urdu, & Hindi.
It can be scary & frustrating when you don’t feel like yourself & don’t know why you feel this. You’ve tried everything to help with your mood changes, overwhelming feelings of nervousness, guilt and not feeling good enough, but nothing seems to work. It can be scary reaching out to a therapist because you want to find someone who really connects with you. I began my training in 2011 and completed it at The Menninger Clinic. I believe in creating an alliance with my clients. My warm & compassionate demeanor allows me to empathize with my clients, put them at ease & help them open up.

Your emotions feel like they could take up an entire ocean, a burden that feels too heavy to carry. On paper you are compassionate and high achieving, but underneath you feel self-critical, anxious, lonely, or broken. It is hard to trust people and show up as your true self, and your relationships feel overwhelming. Like you’ll make a mistake and lose it all or get too close for people to see the real you.

Muslim Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist will be respectful of faith, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, disabilities, or anything that is relevant to an individual’s reasons for seeking therapy. This mental health practitioner will therefore be able to recognize the role of faith in a client’s life, and they can appreciate the cultural values and beliefs of others. Cultural sensitivity on the part of the therapist may enhance the possibility of a strong therapeutic bond, even if the clinician does not have an extensive understanding of a client’s background before therapy begins.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Muslim clients?

It is best to ask directly whether a therapist has worked with Muslim clients, and if so, the extent to which cultural or religious principles factored into their work together. You can also ask whether a therapist who is familiar with Islamic practices, values, and beliefs incorporates them into their professional work, and if so, how. If the therapist does not have a sufficient knowledge base, they may well know and can refer you to someone who has such experience.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

It is not necessary for a therapist to share one’s exact religious background for therapy to be successful. A qualified and culturally sensitive therapist will appreciate diversity within the Muslim community as well as diversity overall, and will have a sense of how religious and cultural issues can contribute to mental health. In addition, a good therapist would be willing to learn from their clients.

How do I recognize an effective Muslim therapist?

Like all therapists, a Muslim therapist who is effective will have the requisite training and expertise in evidence-based techniques, as well as the ability to connect with you on a personal level. An effective Muslim therapist may also demonstrate a clear understanding of your cultural background and faith. A therapist with such cultural sensitivity will set the stage for a strong therapeutic alliance.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of the Muslim faith?

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.
