Zainah is an amazing therapist. In my two and a half years working with her, I feel I have made so much progress in developing effective techniques and gaining the tools to better handle stressful situations. I feel like a much stronger, emotionally mature version of myself. I am also lucky to have joined her group therapy sessions, which helped me navigate difficult cultural struggles and identity issues. I highly recommend Zainah! 

I’ve been with Zainah since September 2020 and could not have more gratitude for the amount of introspection, accountability, and overall growth she has brought to my life over these years. During one of the most challenging situations in my life, she held constant space for me while gently asking the hard questions that ultimately made me reflect and produce the outcome that changed my life for the better. One thing I know for certain is my positive outcome has a direct correlation with our sessions, and therefore with Zainah herself. She has been a pivotal point that, without exaggeration, has pointed my life in a healthier direction and I could not recommend her, and her expertise, enough.

Zainah is warm, gentle and genuine. She supported me through major life transitions, helped me heal my inner child, and guided me on my path of self discovery. She is well equipped to explore relationships, identity, and self esteem or just about anything else that may come up. Maybe most impressive is Zainah’s ability to foster a feeling of safety and while simultaneously pushing me to grow. I feel immense gratitude for Zainah!

For a long time, I wasn’t sure I was ready for therapy. Zainah immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. As a woman of color, I also appreciate the level of empathy and shared understanding that Zainah brings to our conversations, along with her professional insight and guidance. With Zainah, I feel like I have an advocate, as well as someone who is teaching me how to be a better advocate for myself.

Zainah provided a space for us to examine and explore present relationships, past memories and future goals together. Through thoughtful connections and gentle questions, she highlighted patterns and helped me to have more of an understanding about myself and the way in which I interact with the world. Through ongoing sessions I felt more patient and present and less anxious and heavy in daily life. I’m grateful for Zainah’s expertise in helping me grow.

Zainah’s voice on the phone when I called for a consult was a raft when I was drowning. I had waited so long to ask for help, and I’m glad ultimately that it was Zainah who became my therapist. I think our weekly calls were the only thing I looked forward to in the beginning. The tools Zainah has helped me gain and develop are invaluable.

Working with Zainah has positively changed my life in deeply impactful ways. She is an incredibly empathetic, thoughtful, caring, and insightful practitioner. With these traits, she cultivated a space in which I was able to learn how to be honest with myself and confront my insecurities and the maladaptive coping mechanisms that I have developed. She strongly practices through a lens of kindness and self compassion, traits which I am learning to adopt towards myself in our work together. I cannot recommend Zainah more highly.
