Sabah (They/Them) is a 28 year old mental health therapist from Goa who practices online.
Under my company Mehfooz, I work with diverse populations but specialize more into concerns around minorities. Mehfooz is an Urdu word synonymous with safety, comfort, and dependability. It reflects my aim to create a safe space beyond societal restrictions set around minorities of caste, religion, sexual orientation, and gender norms. I aspire to expand upon the feeling and emotion that comes with feeling Mehfooz, regardless of the nature of the concern any client brings to our sessions.
Honestly, I would be very happy to know they are taking up one of the most challenging tasks of our lives, to truly begin taking care of ourselves. It is easy to rant to friends or do things that feel therapeutic, but it takes a lot to be able to sit with a professional and work on these concerns in therapy.
The sessions we would have would be at the pace you are comfortable with. I will not probe unless you are comfortable delving into a topic. We will also have safe words in place to help you communicate some difficult feelings in an easier way. Your comfort will always be the priority.
Genuinely incapable of judging a client for what they admit to have done or are doing. There is always scope of recovery (if needed) and if they have shared it in a session there is also a need they see to alter the same.
Queer affirmative, Kink positive, and trauma-informed as a therapist.
I trust and respect the process enough to not rush a client into anything they would not already want to do for themselves.
Self-aware enough to understand that I may be wrong with how I see the client’s concern and willing to discuss this with the client to alter my beliefs when needed.
