Alia Azmat (Ph.D)

Hello and welcome! If you are reading this, you might be feeling stuck, frustrated, or upset with yourself or others in your life. I am encouraged that you’ve started to explore your mental health options around feeling better. Whether you are starting therapy for the first time or returning to therapy, it is normal to be curious, scared, and maybe even overwhelmed when starting with a new therapist. As a second-generation Pakistani Muslim woman, know that I approach your symptoms and story with curiosity, compassion, cultural context, and confidentiality.

We might be a good fit if you enjoy taking care of others but struggle to make time for yourself, if you are questioning parts of your identity, or if you are struggling to make meaningful connections with others. I particularly enjoy working with women of all ages navigating stressors at work, expectations from family, and individuals who consider themselves activists and community workers. I utilize research-based and creative methods such as music, movement, and laughter in session as well as a decolonial and liberation framework when thinking about healing.

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.
