Dr. Ibrahim is a great therapist with years of experience in life and her practice. I needed someone highly academic and resourceful. But I got so much more than that! Dr. Ibrahim is wise, compassionate and solid with advice and perspectives. I am so grateful she is my therapist.

I have only had a couple sessions, but so far I really appreciate the feedback I get from Dr. Ibrahim on video chat, messages, and reading recommendations/materials . I like that I can message when I need to share, and have space and time to think and reflect.
