Alia Azmat (Ph.D)

I am a second-generation Pakistani Muslim woman. I work with a variety of concerns including but not limited to anxiety, depression, family of origin concerns, internalized racism and sexism, eating concerns, grief/loss, self-esteem and intergenerational trauma. If you are someone struggling with feelings of hopelessness and a lack of motivation, racing thoughts, excessive worry, or PTSD or you are someone navigating a change in your life such as a new job, a new relationship, or spiritual doubt we might be a good therapeutic fit.

I do my best to integrate cultural forms of healing based on your relationship to faith and culture (supplication/dua, ghazals, tea, etc.). I work primarily from a relational-cultural, interpersonal, and feminist/decolonial lens which means I believe wellness is connected to how we learn about ourselves and others in the systems we live, play, and pray in.

I often ask my client’s questions about how emotions were talked about in their culture, social spaces they feel connected and disconnected from, and the impact of family and societal scripts on well-being. If this style of identity exploration and mental health feels like a good fit for you – please email me to schedule a free consult 🙂 I am currently taking clients Monday-Friday from 10am – 6pm. Please reach out if you think we might be a good fit based on what you are navigating this season of your life.
