Meet Our Therapist, Uzma.
LMSW
I believe therapy is both a deeply personal journey and a collective act of resistance. My work is rooted in the belief that healing doesn't happen in isolation — it's woven through relationships, rooted in community, and guided by our bodies' innate wisdom.
As a South Asian Muslim woman, I bring my lived experience of navigating systemic oppression, identity, and belonging into this work. I am committed to creating spaces where rest is radical, joy is revolutionary, and healing is a birthright — not a privilege.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapies, and mindfulness practices. I center the wisdom of your body and honor the ways you've survived.
Together, we'll explore your story through compassion, curiosity, and care — creating a space where you can unlearn survival, remember rest, and reclaim joy.
