Online care, planned for April 2027: a licensed Muslim therapist and a vetted imam, chaplain or spiritual advisor on one plan, meeting you together at the start and the end and each in their own sessions between, so you never have to translate between them.
Every program pairs a licensed therapist with an imam, chaplain or spiritual advisor on one shared care plan.

Care is not available yet. Zaha launches April 2027. Tell us where you are and what you’re looking for — we’ll email you as we get closer to live in your state. We only write when there is something to tell you.
Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.
Qur’an · 13:28
Our Standards
The standard we vet against
Most platforms say “vetted” without defining it. Every Zaha provider meets six standards. If they can’t, they don’t join.
01
Verified credentials
Active license, graduate institution, board status, checked against the state board before their first client.
02
Evidence-based practice
Therapists trained in CBT, ERP, EMDR, EFT. Imams and chaplains complete Zaha's onboarding on mental health red flags and escalation before their first client.
03
Faith literacy & cultural fluency
We meet you where you are — your background, your language, what you’re carrying. Our team is small. If we can’t pair you well at launch, we’ll be straight with you.
We accept: Credit/debit cards; HSA/FSA cards where your plan allows — eligibility rules vary, ask us.
Billing: Weekly, by card, as sessions are scheduled. No large upfront payment.
Insurance reimbursement (optional): Zaha does not bill your insurance. Nothing is shared with your insurance company unless you choose to submit a superbill for reimbursement. Some plans reimburse part of the cost of the clinical sessions out-of-network — the amount depends on your plan and deductible — and any reimbursement comes directly to you. Superbills include an ICD-10 diagnosis code (required for reimbursement) and the sessions you attended. Mithaq is the exception — premarital work has no diagnosis, so it has no superbill. Submitting a claim puts a mental health diagnosis on your insurance record. If you share a plan with a spouse or a parent, they may be able to see it. If that matters to you, pay privately and submit nothing. Your care is exactly the same either way.
If cost is the obstacle: reduced rates are available on a limited basis. Write to us and the conversation stays private.
Common questions
Regular therapy addresses your mental health but often ignores the faith dimension. Zaha pairs a licensed Muslim therapist with a vetted imam or chaplain who coordinate with each other, so you get one plan that respects both your clinical needs and your deen.
Zaha is virtual and available wherever our licensed therapists are credentialed — therapy licensing is state-by-state in the US, so as we build our clinician network we'll expand coverage. If we can't serve your state yet, we'll add you to the waitlist for when we can. Tell us your state when you join the waitlist and we'll be straight with you.
Your sessions are private. Your data is encrypted and released only with your written consent, and spiritual care sessions follow the same confidentiality agreements. Licensed therapists carry a few narrow legal exceptions — imminent danger to you or someone else, suspected abuse of a child or vulnerable adult, or a court order — and your therapist walks you through them at your first session. Zaha does not bill insurance, so no diagnosis code reaches an insurer unless you choose to submit a superbill yourself.
Zaha does not bill your insurance directly. Nothing is shared with your insurance company unless you choose to submit a superbill for reimbursement. If you do submit, some plans reimburse part of the cost of the clinical sessions out-of-network; the amount depends on your plan and deductible, and any reimbursement comes directly to you. Submitting a claim puts a mental health diagnosis on your insurance record; if you share a plan with a spouse or a parent, they may be able to see it. Superbills include an ICD-10 diagnosis code (required by insurers for reimbursement). Mithaq is the exception — premarital work has no diagnosis, so it has no superbill. If you'd rather your care stay entirely off any insurance record, pay privately and don't submit — that option is fully yours. We also accept HSA and FSA cards.
Yes. We ask about this at intake rather than assuming, for both seats, and match to what you tell us. Right now every one of our therapists is a woman, and so are two of our spiritual advisors, with more joining before launch. If you'd rather work with a male imam, that's common and we won't talk you out of it.
Yes. Your therapist and spiritual advisor accommodate prayer times when scheduling — including jumu'ah on Fridays and adjusting around maghrib during Ramadan. Just let us know your needs.
Not at all. Many clients come to Zaha for premarital preparation, identity questions, or general growth. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from coordinated care.
All sessions are conducted via secure telehealth — there are no in-person visits, and you and both of your providers can be in different places. Your therapist does have to be licensed in the state you are physically in.
Zaha is built around coordinated care — therapist and spiritual advisor together on one plan. That's the differentiation. If you're set on only one side, a standalone provider may serve you better, and we'll tell you that rather than oversell. Once you complete a program, you can continue with individual sessions to keep the work going.
Our therapists hold active state licenses, checked against the state board before their first client. Imams and chaplains bring documented Islamic training and at least three years of one-on-one spiritual care experience, and complete Zaha's onboarding on mental health red flags and escalation before their first client. All six standards are published on our standards page.
Our licensed therapists can work with trauma inside a program — the weekly one-on-one therapy sessions are yours to use for it. We don't yet offer a structured trauma-specific program — for complex or severe trauma, we'll help you find the right fit during your first session, whether that's working with us or being referred to a trauma specialist.
Reduced rates are available on a limited basis. Write to us and the conversation stays private. Tell us about your situation when you join the waitlist and we'll share options.
