About my practice

This practice does not use AI for any reason whatsoever

Shifa Therapy LLC is a fully-virtual private practice based out of northern New Jersey.

Through my practice, I offer individual mental health counseling and psychotherapy across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

In addition to therapy, I conduct workshops, presentations, speaking engagements, and consulting for other mental health therapists, focusing on clinical case discussions and building or refining their business (e.g., policies, navigating insurance, streamlining practices, and more).

My practice name itself comes from the word shifaa' (شفاء), which means "healing" in Arabic and other languages like Hindi/Urdu.

I sought to create an intentional space for the Global Majority, especially Black and Brown folks within the LGBTQIA+ community, where no one has to leave parts of themselves at the door.

This is an affirming place where we can embrace our authenticity, wholeness, and the full range of our humanity without needing to dilute ourselves or douse our own rage, joy, pain, and vitality.
