I tried to find the origin of this image to give proper credit. I love this image of therapy. When someone listens closely (to what is said and unsaid) and poses thoughtful questions to us, it can help us untangle the many issues that are bound together in our minds!
About the Provider
ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
I've served our community as a university chaplain, a state prison chaplain, and as a bereavement support person in hospitals. I’ve provided support in the following areas:
marital support
pre-marital support
struggles with pornography
struggles with sexism
struggles with racism
crises of faith
deaths in the family/friends
…and more.
I am one of a small, but growing, number of Muslims trained through an accredited Islamic chaplaincy program. I am a graduate of Hartford International University’s Islamic chaplaincy program, where pastoral counseling was key component of my education.
What is pastoral counseling?
I serve people nationwide but in my state of New York, the law recognizes the right of religious practitioners to seek pastoral counseling from a religious leader of their choice, without it being regulated by state licensing concerning who is a “counselor.” I am not a psychotherapist or secular counselor. If I’m not the best person to help you, I will try to make a referral that best suits your needs.
Unsure? Send me a message and we can have a ten minute call to determine your best course of action.
