Welcome to a trauma-informed, decolonial space for your heart and mind!
You've done what you had to do to keep going, but now you're ready for more than survival.
Healing is possible—on your terms, in your timing.
I’ll walk with you as you reclaim your power and peace.
Discover this safe space for individuals and couples seeking professional trauma-informed decolonial therapy, coaching, and holistic healing.
Is This You?
You've carried so much for so long and lately, you've been wondering what it would feel like to finally set some of it down.
Maybe you're holding grief or trauma that's been with you for years — the kind you've learned to function around, but never really healed.
Maybe you're navigating questions of identity, culture, faith, and belonging, and you're longing for a space where all of who you are is welcome.
Perhaps you're carrying the weight of colonial and generational wounds — pain that isn't only yours, but that somehow landed in your body.
Or maybe it's your relationships and family: the patterns you want to understand, the connection you want to rebuild — whether you come on your own or alongside your partner.
Wherever you are, you don't have to explain the parts of yourself that other spaces have overlooked.
Here, your culture, your story, and your lived experience aren't footnotes — they're at the center of our work together.
This is a space where you can slow down, feel safe, and reconnect to your truth and your power — on your terms, in your timing.
If any of this resonates, you're in the right place. Book your free 20-minute consult and let's begin, gently.

About Heart and Mind Therapy and Consulting
Heart and Mind Therapy and Consulting is a trauma-informed, decolonial private practice founded by Asma Abu-Dahab, LCSW, offering therapy, coaching, and consulting for individuals and couples seeking healing, clarity, and transformation.
Rooted in cultural humility and deep compassion, our work supports you through life transitions, emotional pain, and the weight of systemic stressors. Healing here isn't about adjusting you to conditions that were never just — it's about helping you reconnect to your truth, your story, and your power.
We are politically clear, and we understand this work as political. To care for one another — especially those who have been marginalized, displaced, or unseen — is an act of resistance and collective liberation. That's why we intentionally hold space for pro bono and reduced-fee clients.
This is where private pay clients become part of something larger: when clients who can invest in their care choose to work with us, they create a ripple effect that makes therapy possible for someone who might otherwise go without.
Your healing matters — and here, it's woven into a wider web of care.
