Psychologin
I'm a South Asian psychologist who believes therapy works best when it aligns with your culture. My practice centers cultural identity, immigrant experience, and the background that shapes who you are.

Über mich
I'm a psychologist early in my career, and I bring to this work something that can't be taught in graduate school: my own experience as an immigrant and third culture kid. I know what it feels like to navigate a new culture while holding onto the one you came from. Having lived in many different countries, that experience shapes everything about how I show up for my clients.
I work with clients who are seeking a therapist that understands and works with their cultural background. Whether you're navigating anxiety, loneliness, the stress of being away from home, or just want a safe space where you don't have to explain yourself, I'd love to work with you.
I'm also taking pro-bono clients from war affected regions. Please reach out to me via aliza.faruqui@gmail.com

Ansatz
I don't believe therapy is one size fits all. It's a deeply personal process and I make sure my work reflects that. My approach is rooted in the belief that you can't separate a person from their context. I don't treat culture, family, or identity as background, they are central to understanding who you are and what you need.
In our work together, I take the time to understand where you come from: the values you were raised with, and how those values may be shifting or clashing with the life you're building now. I blend this with CBT.
As someone building my practice, I bring genuine curiosity, humility, and a real commitment to understanding you, but I will also challenge you to face your own discomfort.
