Tasleem Suttles(She/Her/Hers)

Tasleem believes that imperfection is not a personal failing but a natural part of life, as expressed by Tara Brach: “Imperfection is not our personal problem – it is a natural part of existing.” Understanding that life comes with challenges and setbacks, Tasleem emphasizes the importance of how individuals choose to navigate them. Often, people are hard on themselves for a perceived lack of discipline, motivation, or follow-through, but Tasleem encourages a perspective that embraces humanity’s inherent imperfections.

As a therapist, Tasleem is dedicated to creating a space where clients can be unapologetically themselves, free from the pressures of societal "shoulds." With a warm and nonjudgmental approach, Tasleem fosters an environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and accepted—quirks and all. Rather than becoming overwhelmed by the bigger picture, Tasleem helps clients take meaningful steps forward, making challenges feel more manageable and attainable.

In their therapeutic work, Tasleem serves as a supportive co-pilot, guiding clients through life's stressors with empathy and collaboration. Utilizing a range of evidence-based modalities—including Mindfulness, Family Systems, Psychodynamic Therapy, Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—Tasleem tailors treatment to meet each client’s unique needs, helping them build resilience and foster personal growth.
