Extremely nice, compassionate and caring individual. We will seek her expertise when needed.

Written on May 31, 2023 after therapy with Mahiboob for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues

Mahiboob is an amazing therapist! This was my first time doing therapy and I genuinely loved every minute of it. When I started, I was extremely anxious about my relationships and my job. Weekly sessions with Mahiboob definitely made my life easier. She pointed out the thinking patterns I was caught in and gave me amazing techniques to help ground myself and ways to change my thinking. By the end of my sessions, it felt like I was talking to a friend rather than a therapist. I'm grateful to have met and worked with Mahiboob on my mental health!

I know that this is my therapist but she has made me feel so comfortable in such a short time that I feel like I'm talking to my best friend; without the judgment and constructive ways to work thru my dilemmas. Mahiboob has allowed me to let down my hair and feel free about discussing my personal concerns.

Written on May 01, 2023 after therapy with Mahiboob for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, and career difficulties

I feel strongly about finding a therapist that understands the complexity of the upbringing a person of color. I felt connected to Mahiboob in that way. She understands the social/familial pressure I experience and has been sympathetic to my internal struggles but at the same time she provides clarity and need-to-hear insight when needed. I’ve enjoyed working with her!

I've been seeing Mahiboob for four months now and my life feels significantly more sorted. I was going through a very rough patch with my relationship and career and she helped me immensely in navigating my feelings, my relationships and life decisions. Mahiboob is very professional and has great insights as a neutral observer to my story. I'd highly recommend her.

Mahiboob is friendly and very easy to talk to. During our sessions I felt comfortable to share what was on my mind (even if it didn't directly relate to struggles and difficulties). She offered helpful tips and notes that challenged me to step out of my comfort zone a little and work on making improvements in my life. I appreciated my time with her!

So far we have a good relationship and she has been helping me.

Prior to signing up with BetterHelp, my anxiety had gotten so bad that it actually landed me in the hospital (I went in with severe chest pains, and they determined that it was basically an anxiety attack manifesting as (what felt like) a heart attack). I am happy to report that after 2 months of working with Mahiboob every week (even when I had covid, thank goodness for virtual sessions!), I feel like I've made a ton of progress from where I started to where I am now. Mahiboob has been warm, friendly and consistent with her approach, and I very much look forward to our session each week. She has given me several coping methods to help manage my anxiety, and while I don't practice every single one every day, I do try to incorporate at least 1-2 each day if I can. More importantly, I am much more aware in the moment when I start spiraling and am able to catch myself and immediately begin implementing the techniques that Mahiboob has taught me to help manage my anxiety. I've talked about needing to go to therapy for a long time, and I'm so thankful that I finally did this for myself and that BetterHelp connected me with Mahiboob!

I just finished my first 4 sessions with Mahiboob and she's been a pleasure to speak with each time and now that I've gotten to talk with her over time, she's definitely helped me get on track with some personal goals and things that I've been seeking since I'd done therapy last. I'm looking forward to continuing sessions with her!

Mahiboob is literally the best. She is so understanding kind and tells it how it is when you need to hear certain things. She is patient and insightful.

I just started my therapy and I have met my therapist. she’s so right, I know her money I cannot be more happy. It doesn’t feel like I’m in therapy. It feels like a best friend listening to me by telling me the right way how to do things and how to go about my feelings, my emotions, my weakness, she knows exactly how to get me to come down. How can I look in a better day and a better future and what I’m looking forward for I am so happy that I met her and I am so grateful that we are compatible to be in therapy together and I love my therapist. I will recommend her 100% to anybody she’s willing to listen to you and she’s very detail on her stuff and her job , I like her so much and I’m very grateful

Since I've started BetterHelp with Mahiboob, my life has completely changed for the better! She's such a genuine person to speak with and very caring - also was very flexible to work with. Literally can't thank her enough with all the help and guidance she's given me.

Written on Jan 13, 2023 after therapy with Mahiboob for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, and career difficulties

This is my first time doing therapy and I've been working with Mahiboob for the past 5 months or so and it's been a great experience so far. Going into therapy I did not know what to expect and was somewhat intimidated by the whole process, but immediately she made me feel comfortable. Being a second generation immigrant it was important that I found a therapist who could empathize with the cultural differences between generations to help me navigate through some family issues I've been putting off for some time. She has helped change my perspective when approaching any issues that arise in my life now and brought greater awareness to some of these deeper underlying issues that have been ailing me in adulthood. Although it's already been 5 months I feel like we are just scratching the surface, but overall she has helped make this typically uncomfortable process of growth more tolerable and gives me confidence that I can continue to make positive changes if I continue to do the work both in and outside of therapy. If you have any of the issues listed in her bio I highly recommend working with her she is an excellent therapist and a great investment for your own mental health.

Mahiboob is a therapist that compels clients to take on an optimistic outlook on life. She helped me greatly during a break up with a significant other and helped improve the way I cope with social anxiety. She is a great resource to use for people who want to stop worrying about what other people think of them, and for people who want to learn how to be happy on their own.

My experience with Mahiboob Syed-Vardhan has been great. I'm so happy I found her on this platform. I felt very comfortable with her right from the start. Alot of my issues are related to family, so I was important to me to have a therapist who also understood my cultural background. I've had therpay before, but Mehiboob makes me look forward to our sessions not only because its helped me move forward with the issues I was grappling with but because I also felt better no matter how bad my day was. My sessions always end with a smile on my face.

She also makes sure that we are on track with my personal growth and makes sure that we are in alignment when it comes to appointment and homework for the upcoming session.

I would highly recommend Mahiboob as that she has helped me regain clarity in my goals and in getting myself better mentally.

Mahiboob is my first therapist on Betterhelp. I think of myself as a tangled knot, and after every session she unwinds me and I return to a piece of string.

She has offered me so much insight into my family and marriage needs. She offers advice, anecdotes and methods that have worked well for me. She listens patiently with no judgement.

Being of Asian descent, she is able to relate to certain culture practices and traditions that I have as well.

I had tried another therapist on BetterHelp before, but it didn't work out. When I found Mahiboob's profile, I thought I would give the platform a second chance. I am glad I did because she is the right fit for me. Her understanding of Indian culture, active listening skills, and truly positive attitude help me feel deeply understood.

Mahiboob is an excellent coach. She is comprehensive, very caring and holistic. Her advice and strategies have helped me in the few short weeks of our time together. She's never rushed during a session, is extremely attentive and seeks to help across a huge variety of aspects of my life. Often I wonder how she can keep up with the complexity of certain emotions, events and relationships I bring up!
