| Français Not Accepting New Clients. Need a therapist that can understand your identity, beliefs, culture or the lived experience that makes it that much more challenging to deal with your mental health? Being a person of colour, a person of faith, a first-generation professional, a single-parent, a step-parent or an intersectionality of multiple identities can make it difficult to address issues of anxiety and depression with someone who's never been in your shoes. You want your therapy session to address your mental health issue, but you want the therapist to have a good grasp of the context in which these issues arise.
As a Black Muslim trilingual female therapist, I have lived a rich personal and professional life and I bring that lens into my practice to help YOU thrive. We will determine the issue you're dealing with and try to understand it from an ecological perspective that takes your identity and life stage into account.
Seeking help isn't always easy, but I will receive you with genuineness and approach our work together with compassion, every step of the way. We can meet virtually or in person in Ottawa’s downtown. How about we start with a free consultation call?
