Faith-sensitive therapy for Muslim individuals and couples
Your faith, culture and family are part of who you are. You should not have to explain or defend them in therapy. I offer culturally responsive care that respects your values, while drawing on approaches that are backed by research.
What this looks like
- Your values are respected, and faith can be part of the conversation if you wish
- Marriage and premarital counselling that understands Islamic values and family expectations
- Support with extended family, in-laws and the pressures of living between cultures
- Care for trauma, anxiety and low mood without judgment or stigma
- Sessions in English or French, from the privacy of your home
I am sensitive to the needs of diverse families, whether in ethnicity, country of origin, faith or culture. Many people tell me they hesitated for a long time before reaching out. That hesitation is understood here.
Questions about faith-sensitive care
Do I have to talk about religion in therapy?
No. Faith can be part of our conversation as much or as little as you want. Some clients find strength in drawing on their faith; others prefer to focus on other things. You decide.
I am not Muslim. Can I still work with you?
Of course. I work with people of every background and belief. This page is for people who want their faith and culture to be understood in therapy.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between us, with a few limits set by law: if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, if a child may be at risk, or if records are ordered by a court. I explain these limits in our first session so there are no surprises.
