Samirah Masood

Samirah believes real change starts with feeling understood in the full context of who you are. She works with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, infidelity, family conflict, and the kind of life transitions that leave you questioning what comes next. A significant part of her practice is supporting South Asian clients and those from Muslim and Hindu backgrounds, and she offers sessions in Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu for anyone who feels more at ease working in one of those languages. She understands that religion, family expectation, and cultural context shape your mental health, and she brings that understanding into the room so that you can feel seen and ready to work towards lasting change.

Samirah works from CBT, ACT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, along with narrative and strength-based approaches. She uses these to help you understand the thought patterns and habits keeping you stuck, build steadier coping skills, and work through anxiety, depression, or relationship strain at a pace that fits you Together, you will work toward a deeper understanding of who you are and what truly matters to you, helping you move closer to living a fulfilling, authentic life. Samirah wants you to feel supported not just in your struggles, but in who you are.
