I’ve had a few sessions with Wafa. She is kind, attentive, good sense of humor, and is firm in her approach which I was hoping for. I’m pregnant and she has been great help in conquering issues related to pregnancy, relationships, and the identity change that comes it. She asks great questions that lead me to consider the root of my problems and gives good practical suggestions to move forward in healing/changing limiting behaviors/thoughts. She checks in on me in between sessions as well. Moreover, Wafa ends sessions naturally, not abruptly and gives me something to think about and work on for the week. So far, because of her insight and attention to detail, I feel I can move forward in a positive direction in my life and relationships.

If you are a single parent and struggling with a pre-teen or a teenager, Im the person you need to talk to. I currently work in the school district as a school guidance counselor to middle schoolers and I know all about the struggles parents have and students face. I love working with ADHD and ADD kids. I also specialize in anxiety and I have great methods to use to decrease your anxiousness so you can enjoy a happy and relaxed life. Im a solution-focused therapist. I use this method in almost all of my sessions and it has been a great experience with a lot of success.
I specialize in anxiety, behavior problem with adolescence, ADHD, and ADD. I coach people in different areas like stress management, relationships, family conflict and help with practicing executive skills in children and adolescents-completing chores around the house, use system for organizing schoolwork, plan and carry out long-term projects, and time mana
Im from a Middle Eastern background. I speak, read and write the Arabic language. I was raised overseas and I'm very familiar with the culture and the religious background. Most of my experience is with adolescents and adults.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
