FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your individual needs but I usually recommend 12 sessions. All sessions are virtual sessions at this time using a HIPAA compliant video platform. After our initial 15 min consult call, I send out an introduction email with all the information you need to get started, some forms to fill out, and distress tolerance skills so that you can start feeling relief immediately.
Who the heck are you?
My name is Aqssa and I am an intuitive therapist and life coach :) I practice holistically and I combine existential, DBT, and reality therapy to be active in sessions. This is not just a you talk and I passively listen type of therapy. I will confront you as needed (with gentle love of course!) and highlight patterns and give skills to you as needed so that you can reclaim the excitement for life that your inner child craves. I do my best to embody my values and practice the authenticity that I preach...... hence this very pink, very me website :)
payment options?
I currently do not take insurance. I offer sliding scale pricing and provide a superbill as well. You can present a superbill to your insurance for a reimbursement. Please call your insurance prior to sessions and confirm if they give a full or partial reimbursement.
I offer pro bono services for financial hardship - please email me.
FAQs
Do you know what you are doing or just winging it?
Why do you call this “intuitive therapy”?
i often find that the present moment experience of the session - exactly as it is occuring second by second - is the most important aspect of the session. The dynamic occuring between therapist and client is absolutely magical as there is so much information present. I intuitively harness that information and guide you back to what is happening within YOU, picking up on subtle energetic and behavioral shifts as they happen, mirroring these back to you, and hopefully helping you attune to your own inner guidance system .
Don’t let the intuitive part fool you - I am deeply strategic and love evidence-based therapy and facilitating practical results that you can SEE and FEEL in your life. I am planning and thinking about your case and treatment plan before and after each session and we collaborate on tweaking it together as well. I received my Masters in Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Georgia with a minor in English.
I did my internship at a residential addiction facility for women in Atlanta. After graduating, I worked at Emory Hospital as a behavioral health assessment counselor in the ER. I also facilitated inpatient therapy groups at Eastside Hospital, did individual and group therapy at group practices with wonderful mentors, and studied and practiced Dialectical Behavioral Therapy at Thira Health in Washington State.
FAQs
Do you speak other languages ? Also I’m a POC and I’m exhausted. Can you help?
I provide sessions in Urdu and in Hindi if needed. I also deeply understand the POC exhaustion. You are tired of explaining your collectivist culture to your individualistic therapist. You are tired of defending it. You are tired of feeling judged for it. You just want to feel better. I’ve GOT you. I deeply and profoundly understand this as a Muslim South-Asian woman. (Whew! I’m tired too y'all!) Your religion, culture, and identity are important and valuable. There is so much subconscious conditioning and inauthencity bred from the current paradigm of therapy. Lets change that :)
What are these group workshops you speak of?
*In-person workshops available in Georgia only. Virtual workshops are available internationally. I hope to provide more concentrated in-person intensives internationally in the future. Please email me if you have any questions!
Through my therapy work I have seen how small micro-aggressions and a lack of mindfulness in work place settings (and other group settings) create discord and a toxic workplace. People carry this energy from work back to their homes and their loved ones. Ultimately, the collective feels this pain and often, does not know how to “fix” it.
My absolute*favorite* thing to do is to create harmony, bring misunderstandings to light, and create a sense of ease and flow.
If you are an employer who is unsure how to address any of the following in the workplace :
interpersonal issues
racial issues
communication issues
diversity issues
POC questions and concerns
I would be happy to consult with you and/or schedule a workshop with your team. I highly recommend that employers and employees alike participate in the workshops.
How is life coaching different from therapy?
Life coaching can be quicker than therapy. It is more confrontational (if needed). It is for star performers in their field who are looking for tweaks to get to their next level of joy. During a screening call we can deduce your specific needs. If your systems are already marvelous and you are looking for an energetic guide to tell you where any leaks are, this is the best option for you.
