Our Providers

The therapists, imams and chaplains behind your care.

Rolling out state by state

Therapists are licensed per state, so a client is matched only with a therapist licensed where they live. Spiritual advisors are not state-licensed clinicians. Where a state places conditions on spiritual care, we confirm the position before matching you.

Therapists

Licensed Muslim clinicians. All care is virtual.

An illustrative example

How a pair works.

One pairing across eight weeks, to show what each provider does. Your own pair is set at intake.

Saliha QadirMS, LPC, NCC · clinical
+
Tauseef AkbarChaplain · spiritual
Week 1
Both read the parts of your intake that are theirs to read, and each sends you a note before you meet them. The kickoff hour is the three of you, writing the care plan on screen — so you never tell the story twice.
Weeks 2–3
Saliha does the clinical work. If a religious question comes up, it goes to Tauseef rather than getting an answer from a clinician.
Week 4
Tauseef holds the midpoint alone, 45 minutes. He is not starting cold — he and Saliha keep their own thread.
Weeks 5–7
Back with Saliha. Tauseef sends her a short readout afterwards, with your consent.
Week 8
Graduation, all three of you, looking at the distance traveled.
What you’ll see

Every profile, the same depth.

No one-line bios. Each Zaha provider profile shows you what you need to decide whether to trust them with your care.

01

Credentials on file, checked before a first client

License and state, graduate institution, specialized training, board status. Checked against the state board before their first client.

02

Their voice

How the provider talks about their work — in their own words. Not marketing copy. The line they’d say in a first session.

03

What they work with

Specific specialties: anxiety, OCD, grief, marriage, faith-related ambivalence. Not "everything for everyone."

04

Languages and cultural context

Languages spoken. Cultural traditions they’ve worked with. Communities they’ve served. Honest about what they don’t know.

05

Real availability

Time zone and joint-session fit, confirmed with the provider before we match you.

06

How they coordinate

Who they pair with on the spiritual or clinical side. How they handle joint sessions, written care updates, and crisis escalation.
