Helping moms, working moms, and couples using proven tools and strategies, I assist you to remain present and focus on the vision you have for your family and your relationship. Tools such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be adapted to your specific needs. As you apply these tools, you will become more mindful of the blocks that keep you from embracing your role as a mom and interfere with your relationships. You will no longer feel like you’re teetering on the edge of a meltdown. You can gain greater confidence that you can adapt with each new stage in your family.

I help people, especially entrepreneurs, have better relationships, resolve painful memories (I'm certified & train in EMDR), embrace who they are, and decrease anxiety.

I work with high achievers who are battling feelings of inadequacy, anxiety and overthinking.

Are you ready to take control of your life, uncover self-love, live authentically and find balance?

IS ANXIETY STEALING YOUR JOY? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, panic attacks, feelings of loneliness and/or emptiness? Are you struggling with life changes, loss, feelings of hopelessness? Are you fearful about finding/losing love? Do you suffer with feelings of worthlessness or feel incapable of being loved? Healthy connections are a primary need that we all have. Healthy attachments help us regulate our emotions to live a joyful and peaceful life. Sometimes through life experiences, our ability to attach and connect in healthy ways gets disrupted, negatively impacting our lives and our ability to regulate our emotions.

Our rapport, and discovering what is deeply meaningful and valuable to you will be the foundation of our therapeutic relationship.

As we work together, I teach you how to center in the present moment, where the magic of now comes alive & you are able to experience more joy, fulfillment, excitement, strength, peace & calm than ever before.

Yasmin Sadik offers customized problem-solving techniques to help you in the shortest amount of time possible. She will discuss with you unresolved trauma and present challenges that could be leading to anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

I have over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults who often feel like they’re on the outside of life looking in, due to chronic depression, complex trauma and anxiety. You present as polished, are often high achieving, and tend to be the emotional center of your family and social circle, intensifying feelings of isolation your symptoms are already causing. And the people in your lives are often shocked, because you have been masking your symptoms so thoroughly and for so long that they have become almost like your personality. Your deep empathy often comes from a source of your own deep pain.
