TESTIMONIALS
"Saadiqa is an incredible therapist. Working with her has been a truly insightful and transformative experience. Through our sessions, I've gained so much clarity and introspection. I've done a lot of soul-searching and mental growth with her guidance. She has an amazing ability to help me articulate thoughts and feelings, even ones I didn’t realize needed attention. What stands out most is her patience and thoughtfulness—she listens deeply without any judgment. Saadiqa has played a significant role in helping me process past childhood traumas that continue to affect my daily life and thinking. Most importantly, she’s helped me understand and truly value my worth."
"Finding the right therapist is like dating - you don’t really know what you’re in for till the first date, but ever since I started working with Saadiqa, I knew I was in the right hands. My work with her has been nothing short of transformative, and I always look forward to my sessions with her. She’s created a space of comfortability and pure honesty, allowing me to be completely myself. She’s been a great supporter who’s given me the opportunity to feel heard, give grace to myself, and compassion to those around me. I’m definitely lucky to have her as my therapist, I even have an, “I love my therapist” t-shirt to commemorate the work we’ve done together!"
We had a great time working with Saadiqa, her warm and encouraging personality really helped gain our trust early on. With her help, we were able to learn more about ourselves individually and as a couple. These deeper understandings together with tools learned from our sessions really helped save our relationship. We truly can't thank Saadiqa enough.
Working with Saadiqa over the past three years has been incredibly productive, and we’ve achieved numerous breakthroughs. I found CBT, particularly DBT therapy, to be highly beneficial. Our outdoor sessions have been refreshing and enjoyable, providing me with unique and different contexts to work from. Over the past three years and beyond, we’ve covered a wide range of topics, including early childhood trauma, family relationships, intimate relationships, work environments, and overall life goals. Saadiqa’s warm and caring demeanor is always greatly appreciated and invaluable in our sessions.
