Therapist: Sabah

​

"My journey of positive growth is testament to the fact that Sabah is really good at what they do! I often hold back from sharing my most shameful thoughts, but they create such a safe space that I'm always reassured that no thought or emotion is off the table. 27 sessions in and Sabah still doesn't cease to amaze me with the promptness with which they're able to arrive at a perspective I'd never thought of before. Apart from all of this that they do for me, they're also just a really fun warm person that I'm glad I get to meet for an hour each week. :)"

"Sabah has been a therapist who comes into each session not just with a lot of experience, but also with a lot of heart. They've provided me with a safe space to reflect and grow and has helped me work on my mental health at a comfortable and effective pace. The kind of perspective I've gained through their sessions has had an immeasurable impact on all aspects of my life, and it helps to have a caring, professional, and oftentimes humorous presence who gives the right amount of nudge you need to be able to help yourself."

"Sabah is an excellent therapist that makes their clients feel comfortable regardless of circumstance. They're a great listener and when they speak, they always have something valuable to offer. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a queer-affirmative therapist. Every session I've had with them has been helpful and I'm glad I reached out to them."

"The sessions create a safe space where you feel comfortable to open up without any judgement and with a reliable support system where you feel understood. I can finally openly talk about things I never thought someone else would understand. For the first time, I felt like someone cared and genuinely wanted to help and reach out to me and provided me with a sense of hope 💗"

"I began therapy at one of the lowest points in my life. I was struggling with my identity and felt very lost as to who I am and what I want in life. And to be fair, I still don’t have those questions completely answered. But I know that I am evolving, and therapy has been one of the most important means through which I am. To me, therapy with Sabah has been about being listened to without the fear of judgement, asking lots of questions, finding solutions to problems that would work for me because they come through me, lots of self-acceptance and taking the time and energy to process overwhelming emotions. I am grateful to Sabah as my therapist for they provided me a safe space where I could let my guards down and be myself. They also made it a priority to work through things at a pace that doesn’t overwhelm me too much, because therapy can sometimes definitely be very hard. I will keep growing and working towards my ‘happy place’ (as Sabah and I call it) come to life. :)"

Therapist: Nicole

​

"I was initially really scared to open up to someone but since then its been great. She made sure i didn't feel like I'm talking to a stranger right after our initial 2 meetings. I feel like she accommodates any needs i have really well understands me and creates an environment in which i can open up about things i never thought i could. There's absolutely no judgement at all and i feel like all our sessions has helped me a lot. I get insights and exercises to learn more about me and develop better coping skills. Nicole has been absolutely amazing overall.

All my issues and doubts are taken very seriously and acknowledged and i really appreciate that a lot."

 

"I love my sessions with my therapist. I have been to other therapists before but I feel like it was more difficult to be comfortable with them the way I could easily feel comfortable with Nicole. She pushes me to question my own assumptions about myself and people in my life and has given me exercises and tools to use on my

own time to also help with how I’m feeling. It’s been only 3 months but I already feel more

equipped to handle some of the things I am struggling with."
