Hi, I'm Mariam Mukhtar
I'm a psychologist focused on helping people get to a better place
I help anyone who might be experiencing challenges like anxiety, depression, and burnout- including those who may be challenged in adjusting culturally- be that cultural stress or stress adjusting to live in the USA. For teens, we may work through confidence or talking with parents. For adults, the stresses of daily life include depression and anxiety.
Some of our biggest challenges in life can show up in our relationships, so I’m here for couples as well. For couples who may be working through communication gaps or cycles of disconnection to get to a better way of relating, I’m here to help.
Whether you're an adult, teen, or a couple, my goal is to help you work through what you’re going through so you can live the life you want.
My story
My Journey To Becoming A Therapist
I’m no different from the clients I see. Like everyone else, I'm human. I intimately understand what it means to rebuild yourself.
Because I've walked this path personally and professionally, I create a sanctuary where your experiences aren't just acknowledged but deeply honored, where your struggles with belonging are met with genuine understanding, and where your resilience is celebrated as much as your vulnerability.
My life experiences are what lead me to become the therapist I am today.
Helping People Is A Gift To Others,But Also Myself
Being a therapist is an honor
I love helping people become healthier and more empowered and seeing them finally getting the life they desire.
The most rewarding thing about being a therapist is celebrating when my clients make progress.
I have compassion for others and bring an open, non-judgmental presence to sessions
I have a natural ability to:
People who know me often say that I am a good listener who can help through difficult and stressful times.
I Will Be Focused On You, Your Teen, Or Your Relationship
Sessions are a space to explore thoughts,
feelings, and goals
You or your teen will be able to gain clarity and explore. It's important to me to provide a non-judgemental space where you can be yourself and create safety within session.
There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.
As A Therapist
I Embrace The Following Philosophies
I believe that we only heal if we take care of ourselves.
I believe that you can feel safe and free in your relationship.
I believe that therapy works when both of us are committed to your healing.
I believe that people underestimate their ability to change. It's possible to change. It's possible to enjoy life again.
I believe that we can stop feeling shame when we share our story with someone who can hear it with empathy and understanding.
