Illuminating the Path to Healing.
Therapy with Komal
Welcome! I believe therapy is most effective when it is a partnership. Together, we’ll explore your concerns, understand your goals, and work to improve your well-being. My approach is eclectic, drawing from various therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Care, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Person-Centered Therapy. This allows me to tailor our work to your unique needs and preferences, helping you feel empowered and supported at every step.
As a first-generation immigrant raised in Michigan with Pakistani, Muslim, and American values, I deeply value the role that your personal worldview and cultural background play in therapy. Being seen and understood within the context of your own life experiences and values is crucial to creating meaningful and lasting change.
My goal is to help you address the challenges you're facing while honoring the richness of your cultural identity. Let's work together to improve your health!
