Evidence-based therapy for real, lasting growth.

Book A Session

Our Mission

Therapy is a collaborative process of insight and change—grounded in research, guided by reflection, and focused on growth. Here, we’ll examine the patterns that keep you from moving forward, develop practical tools for resilience, and support you in showing up as your most authentic and capable self.

About Me

I’m Sakina Issa, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s complexities with clarity and confidence. My work is rooted in evidence-based practice and guided by a deep respect for each client’s unique story.

Therapy with me is both reflective and active—a space to examine patterns, explore what’s been holding you back, and develop practical strategies for lasting change. I aim to provide an environment that challenges you to grow while offering the support and insight necessary to make that growth sustainable.

If you’re ready to engage in meaningful self-work, I’m here to help you move forward with purpose, understanding, and renewed perspective.

My Approach

I integrate evidence-based methods that recognize the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and foster emotional resilience.

I also incorporate Client-Centered principles, providing an empathetic, supportive environment that empowers you to access your own insight and strength. Techniques such as emotional regulation, guided imagery, and mindfulness further support self-awareness and personal growth.

My goal is to guide you toward lasting change, greater psychological flexibility, and a deeper understanding of yourself.

Work With Us

  • Finding Myself Again

    I came to Sakina dismantled and chaotic, dealing with post traumatic experiences, a low self-esteem, and completely unaligned with my mind, body, spirit. I felt like I was always fighting against myself, unable to establish boundaries with myself and with people in my life, I was exhausted and felt defeated. Sakina helped me discover my self-worth, guided me to understand that I am all I need and to trust my feelings. I am now confident to set appropriate boundaries, I work with myself instead of against myself, and my relationships have grown deeper with this awareness. I can’t express how amazing it feels to have “found” myself and I owe it all to Sakina for facilitating me on this journey!

  • Learning With Depth and Heart

    Loved Sakina’s four week summer course on self-love. She really delved into the heart of each issue and I enjoyed learning from both a scientific and spiritual point of view. Sakina has a really personal touch and I found her practical examples of how to overcome cultural obstacles really useful as well. Would definitely recommend her services!
