Dr. Masuma Rasheed
Introduction
Living in a world that doesn’t always align with your values can lead to anger, frustration, and grief. It’s exhausting to constantly navigate spaces that don’t reflect who you are or force yourself to fit expectations that don’t serve you. You don’t need to change yourself to fit a “standard” way of thinking, feeling, or being. Therapy is about finding what’s true for YOU—unlearning patterns of survival, adaptation, and self-protection that no longer serve you and learning how to live in a way that feels more authentic and aligned. Therapy with me isn't about "fixing you"—it’s about making space for you. I'm an interactive therapist; I provide feedback and ask questions. I use trauma informed approaches such as EMDR, IFS, and somatic techniques in a way that is culturally relevant for marginalized clients. I focus on making therapy realistic for the change you want to create in your life. I believe trust is built over time, not assumed. I am continually committed to creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and in control of your healing. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in community. You don’t have to do this alone, and I would be honored to support you on your journey.
