About Umm-e-Abeeha:

I am an associate clinical psychologist with an MS in Clinical Psychology, who believes that healing begins in the quiet, unhurried space where you first feel safe enough to simply be. My approach is rooted in the understanding that the nervous system heals when it no longer needs to be on guard. In our work together, you will never be pushed further than your capacity allows, and you will never be made to feel that your pace is wrong. We will work collaboratively to gently expand the space within which you feel safe, grounded, and more fully yourself. In our sessions, you set the pace. I'll make room for silence, complexity and what you bring to the session. The goal is to simply make you feel safer and more at home with yourself.

A message for future clients:

Dear Future Clients, If you have been thinking about reaching out for a while now, or if you have only just begun to consider it, I want you to know that there is no wrong time and no wrong reason to start. You do not need to have the right words. You do not need to know exactly what you need or be able to name what you are going through. Showing up, even uncertainty, is enough. This is a space free of judgment, pressure, and expectation. Whatever you carry with you, whether it is something that happened recently or something you have been holding for a very long time, it deserves to be heard with patience and care. You will never be made to feel like too much, or like you are not struggling enough to be here. Healing looks different for everyone, and it does not happen on a fixed schedule.

Our work together will move at a pace that feels right for you, and you will always have a say in where we go and how we get there. My role is not to have all the answers but to be a steady, non-judgmental presence as you find your own way through. I hope this space can be something you feel safe coming back to.
