Salam! I'm Maryam. A therapist, coffee lover, cat mom, and more importantly, a fellow human. I understand that life happens, and ultimately, our trials and tribulations are inevitable and can be difficult sometimes. While some chapters in our book have us reaching for tissues, people like me are here to make these moments just a little less impactful. Together, we learn to make meaning of hardship, explore the "why me?" narrative, and use aspects of mental health interventions paired with spiritual values to work our way through the storm. I use a holistic approach in my work and love to incorporate elements of gratitude. My clients often appreciate how we use our space to learn, cry, laugh, and grow together. Let's chat!

Faith can be an important viewpoint to consider when exploring healing and if my clients want, it is welcome within our sessions. I am a wholehearted believer that there is ease within our struggles. To me, this means there are many different avenues for relief for our issues and I strive to be at least one of the avenues of comfort to another person’s struggle or difficulties. One of my favorite quotes is “Be the moon in somebody’s night. Be the ease during someone’s hardship” – Yasmin Mogahed. I am a bilingual counselor fluent in Arabic and my counselor style consists of CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered, DBT informed, and Narrative Therapy. There is no one size fits all approach, and it is my goal to meet every client where they are within their therapeutic healing. I am passionate about increasing awareness for mental health in the Muslim, Arab population, BIPOC communities, and woman from different backgrounds. I know that I make a difference within these communities and I hope to continue to shine my gifts with others and help them grow.”

Chicago, Illinois, 60642, United StatesDo you feel stuck and want to get “unstuck?” in your life? Mental health can influence all areas of your life, and it is invaluable to explore how mental health can drive the way you see and experience it.

I work with teens and adults on various mental health issues and have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, and trauma.
