Hello, I am Ahmad and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I am a part-time employee at Rush & Associates Psychotherapy and Wellness.

My philosophic approach is client-centered, where safety, trust, and confidentiality are the pillars of the therapeutic relationship. I do provide psychotherapy in both English and Arabic (all dialects), and work with adults, teenagers, couples, and families. My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitional challenges, couples & family, trauma, substance abuse, grief, and attachment. I believe that to best address mental health challenges it is beneficial to draw strengths from various therapeutic approaches in a fashion tailored specifically to each individual client, ensuring the client’s benefits and therapeutic goals at the heart of the process. I understand that although psychotherapy is essential for our individual wellbeing, but it can be financially straining. As such, I do offer a free-of-charge 30-minute intake session. Additionally, I do offer sliding-scale rates to allow everyone better accessibility to this essential service regardless of the financial situation.

I approach each client as an individual with the desire to provide them comfort by approaching their issues holistically. Then, in collaboration with the client, I am able to identify and agree upon the therapeutic process that is attuned to their specific issues, needs, and what they desire to achieve from therapy. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment and value the importance of the therapeutic relationship so they can move forward with ease.

More than my work:

I was fortunate to grow up in an open and equitable environment that inspired individuality while providing the protection and sense of security of a collective environment. This helped me relate to Herman Hesse’s saying, “Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” Varied dance forms and music from around the world have attracted me since a young age, bringing me peace and joy. I also love cooking, yoga and meditation. These are aspects of my inner sanctuary.
