Accepting new clients - Are you seeking a genuine, down to earth therapist that is able to listen to you attentively and meet you where you’re at? You’ve stumbled across the right profile. Welcome, my name is Faizah. It is a huge step outside of your comfort zone to reach out for support. I believe in creating an environment that is judgment free, focused on celebrating strengths, and where you can shine as your authentic self. I understand the intersecting identities of being a Canadian, a South Asian, and a Muslim. With my passion for psychology and Islam, you can find a recipe for success and a balanced approach to living.
Rest assured that you will be met with empathy, empowerment, humour, and a space where you can feel seen and heard. I believe that a one-size, cookie cutter approach does not work, because we all have our own unique potential. I work with clients from a trauma informed lens to unlearn strongly held cultural beliefs that are not aligned with Islam.
Duha Therapy is named after Surah Duha, where Allah reminds Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that he was never abandoned. Allah has not abandoned you either. Duha signifies the morning brightness and embodies the work I do with my clients - focused on warmth and gentleness. Take the first step towards your healing journey. I look forward to working with you!
