Dr. Muhammad met me on a day where I was at my lowest. He listened. And that day it was exactly what I needed.
In the weeks since he’s been a partner and encouraging me as I’ve worked through things.
I look forward to continuing to work with him.

AbdulRasheed Muhammad is absolutely wonderful. From day one he made me very comfortable. I have never participated in therapy . I was unsure what to expect and was unsure if this was right for me. Turns out it feels like this is exactly what I need. I am incredibly thankful for this platform and for AbdulRasheed Muhammad's time and his advice. I feel hopeful again. ☺️
