Hello and Welcome! My name is Salwa and I am a Registered Social Worker at Relationship Counselling Toronto. I am passionate about helping couples manage conflict, enhance their communication skills and deepen their friendship and intimacy with each other in order to feel more emotionally close and connected. I believe that humans are wired to connect with others, and it can be incredibly painful to a couple when they find themselves feeling ‘stuck’ in constant fights, or feeling emotionally distant.

Anxiety is a mode of being, our call for growth. We find ourselves in a world and relate to our surroundings through desire and care. Within the frame of our cultural conditioning, we tend to invest in people and things that foster attachments. Out of these attachments and the desire to pursue the sort of happiness that we are conditioned to thrive for emerges a sense of dependency that often deprives us of the opportunity to actualize our true potentials.

When I think about therapy, I imagine my client’s search for well-being and healing as if they were lost and trying to find their way home. You might know where home is, but find yourself stuck in darkness, not being able to find your way. As your therapist, I see myself holding the flashlight. You are the one who knows your way to healing, and I have the tools to help get you there easier. This is what I believe therapy looks like; us walking together on your journey. As we travel together to help you find “home”—your place of healing, peace, and comfort—while I share my knowledge and tools to help you find that “home”.

With mental health and addiction there comes this terrible feeling of powerlessness, shame and loss of control. Sometimes reaching out for help seems like too much. But when you do reach out, you will know what it's like to recover and the tremendous hope it brings. The strength you didn't know you had will appear and you will feel whole again - and in control. I would like to help you find that way forward.

You are feeling overwhelmed with stress. Every task feels bigger, and there’s this constant worry. You often catch yourself looking for approval from others, wondering if you're doing okay. There's this little voice inside that keeps doubting you, questioning if you're good enough. When you're with people, sometimes it feels like you're walking on eggshells, trying to fit in without being judged. Deep down, you just want to feel calm, confident, and be your own biggest supporter.

Marital issues can weigh heavily on our heart, leaving us feeling lost, confused, and disconnected from the partner we once cherished. Perhaps communication has become strained, leading to unresolved conflicts and increasing emotional distance. Trust may have been broken, leaving wounds that are yet to heal. You are longing for more intimacy, both emotional and physical, but find yourselves stuck in negative patterns that seem impossible to overcome. These challenges are slowly eroding the foundation of your relationship, leaving you with a sense of dissatisfaction, loneliness, and unmet needs.

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 recognise 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.
