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 affirming and 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 meant to be a place where folks can embrace authenticity, vulnerability, and wholeness without needing to dilute oneself or having to douse one’s own rage, pain, joy, or vitality to find acceptance.
