I absolutely love my sessions with Dr Shifa. She is very helpful addressing every concern with thoughtful and applicable coping techniques. I’m so thankful I found a therapist that is so understanding, empathetic and intelligent. If anyone is seeking a therapist, I would highly recommend her. I’ve had counseling services in the past, and this is so above and beyond my previous experiences. She provides a warm and welcoming , heartfelt presence in our sessions that have really helped me. I really love this platform in general. It’s accessible, has quality practitioners and offers reasonable rates. I truly hope this company continues to grow and help our Ummah become more resilient and healed.
