About Wajma Ataie
Wajma is currently only accepting clients located in California.
Wajma was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and has lived in India, Germany, and the United States. Moving between cultures has shaped how she understands the role that faith, family, identity and life experience play in a person's mental health.
She works with individuals and couples on anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, divorce, relationship difficulties and major life transitions. Much of her work is with Muslim individuals and families. If it matters to you, she is glad to bring Islam, spirituality and your relationship with Allah (SWT) into your sessions. She is equally comfortable with topics that can be hard to raise elsewhere, such as addiction, shame and struggles within a marriage.
Wajma's approach is evidence-based and grounded in compassion. In sessions, she helps you make sense of what you're carrying, notice the strengths you already have, and find a way forward that fits your values. She wants therapy to feel like time you look forward to, not another obligation. Whether you're facing something serious or simply feel stuck, her aim is for you to leave each session feeling lighter and better understood.
