Aaishah

I am Aaishah Raye, an experienced arts-based therapist with a strong commitment to supporting the emotional well-being of women, mothers, and children. I have undergone two years of intensive training in arts-based therapy, ensuring that my therapeutic approach is both effective and grounded in best practices.

One important aspect of my practice is my deep cultural sensitivity, SubhaanAllaah. As a revert to Islam, I understand the unique challenges and perspectives that individuals within the Muslim community may face. I modify my therapeutic modalities to align with Islamic boundaries and cultural norms. For example, instead of traditional drum circles, I incorporate instruments like the duff and utilize found and natural music, ensuring that my therapy sessions are respectful and meaningful within the Islamic context, In Sha Allaah.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and nurturing space for my clients to explore their emotions, develop resilience, and empower themselves. I believe that when women, mothers, and children are supported and empowered, it can lead to the emergence of strong and effective leaders within the Muslim community, MashaAllaah.

Clients interested in my services can expect a therapist who is not only professionally trained but also deeply compassionate and dedicated to their well-being. I am here to help individuals navigate their emotional journeys, find their voices, and achieve personal growth and healing, Alhamdulillaah.

provide a range of services aimed at supporting the emotional well-being and empowerment of women, mothers, and children within the Muslim community. My services include:
