Practice

Reehab’s main methodology is the Islamic Psychology framework, with a focus on holistic health based on the human beings’ physiologic design. Through fostering an understanding of holistic well-being that encompasses both physical, spiritual and mental health, she draws upon her training in traditional Islamic sciences and years of practice and observation and strives to provide a healing space that is truly tailored to each individual’s needs. At the heart of her approach is the concept of suhba, or healing through companionship. This involves cultivating a deeper connection with oneself, one’s environment, and one’s community. Therapeutic techniques such as reframing, root cause exploration, and somatic work within the session only become fully effective when understood within a framework that recognizes the interconnected nature of our existence – we are as much a part of our communities as our communities are a part of us. Through this understanding, the therapeutic session become a transformative journey of comprehensive well-being, grounded in faith and fostering a sense of rootedness.
