Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW Practice: Resilience LabTherapy with Khadija is a collaborative learning process in which every client—no matter how they identify—can feel accepted. She’s very casual, relaxed, and lets clients guide the conversation to whatever topic is most important for them.
Khadija is big on narrative therapy, a modality that takes a deeper look into your life story while validating and reframing your experiences. Through this approach, she works with the client to examine and deconstruct the stories they’ve developed, internalized, and come to believe about themselves and the world around them. She helps clients develop a new story of empowerment and resilience in the face of adversity.
Khadija practices unconditional positive regard, which creates the space needed for clients to be their authentic self by emphasizing empathy, acceptance, and respect for every unique individual.
