Tricia Pethic

Meet Tricia, a pastoral counselor and Islamic chaplain whose approach to care was not shaped in a classroom alone, but forged in some of life's most raw and demanding spaces: prisons and hospitals. In correctional settings, she served as a chaplain walking alongside individuals carrying extreme trauma, grief, and the weight of addictive behaviors. In hospitals, she worked in organ donation, accompanying families through some of the most devastating moments a human being can face. That kind of experience does not just build skill. It builds a depth of presence that is rare and deeply felt.

If you have ever felt talked over, shamed, or handed a list of solutions before anyone has truly listened to you, Tricia's space will feel different. She believes wholeheartedly that we were never meant to carry our burdens alone, and that seeking Allah and the people He has placed in our lives to help us is not a sign of weakness but an act of wisdom and trust.

Tricia is one of a small but growing number of Muslims trained through an accredited chaplaincy program with pastoral counseling among its specialties. Her work is rooted in Islamic values and guided by a sincere desire to help clients align themselves and their relationships with what Allah, in His Infinite Wisdom and Care, wants for them in this life and the next.

Her counseling style is grounded, empathetic, and unhurried. She will not rush you toward answers before you have been truly heard. Whether you are navigating grief, trauma, relationship struggles, spiritual disconnection, or simply the loneliness of carrying too much for too long, Tricia offers a space where you can set that weight down, be listened to with genuine empathy, and begin to find your way forward.

You do not have to carry this alone. Help is here.
