Bushra Shaheen, LCSW

Hi, I’m Bushra :) I work primarily with Queer, Desi, & BI/POC folks to uncover patterns rooted in childhood, process attachment and trauma, and navigate depression, loneliness, loss or grief, and guilt or shame. If you find yourself struggling with vulnerability in relationships, in constant anxiety spirals, or desiring deeper emotional connection, you are not alone. I firmly believe that all clients deserve compassionate and culturally affirming care and center my therapeutic approach beyond the boundaries of a Eurocentric lens. I know that when you reach out for support, your main focus is receiving the help that you need. That is why I strive to provide a space where you can feel understood without having to over-explain your identity, your culture, or other parts of what make you, you. Our work together will center your identities, emotions, lived experiences, and goals. I’m glad you are on the journey toward better mental health and would be honored to join you.
