“Nazma helped our whole family last year. She started out just working with our daughter but it turned into a whole family thing. Our daughter struggled with self esteem and self confidence and Nazma was able to patiently pull her out of this. By the end of the year and she is a different human! We still reach out to Nazma from time to time. I found too that every time I talked to Nazma I felt better so my husband and I started saw her a times , she helped us find better ways to communicate.”
“I did not think my husband would ever stop drinking, and our life felt like a nightmare at the beginning of COVID I honestly felt so done. I called Nazma when I was at the end of my rope, and she asked if she could meet with both of us. Something about her gave us both hope and my husband agreed to start talking to her weekly. He now is 7 months sober and it is like I have a new partner. She was able to make him understand that the alcohol was ruining his life in a way that he could finally hear it. He is happier now and so am I!”
“ Nazma made me feel safe and calm the first time I met her. She has a calming presence and I never feel judged. I love talking to her, i feel like she really cares about me and doesn’t give me textbook answers. “
“Every time I leave our sessions I feel so much better. When my marriage was ending I did not think I could make it. But Nazma helped me get through one of the toughest times in my life. I will forever be grateful to her, and I highly recommend her!”
“COVID was so hard on me as a mother of teens. I could not seem to stop feeling angry with everything all the time. Nazma taught me strategies that helped me with my anger and impatience, and how to live a different way. My kids and husband are happier too!”
Nazma taught me CBT strategies that were so simple and effective. I had heard about CBT but never tried it and didn’t even know what it meant! Now I feel like I have a new way of living. I realize how much of my thinking was affecting me, I don’t go down negative paths any more, or when I do I can turn it around”
“My mom made me see a therapist because she felt like I needed to talk to some one about my random anxiety that came from nowhere. I couldn’t even get to work or school somedays it was so bad. Nazma gave me strategies and a place where I could talk through all my weirdest thoughts and I felt way better after a few sessions. Now I just see her once in awhile because I am actually doing really good!”
“Me and my boyfriend were fighting all the time about everything. When we got to Nazma we were pretty sure it was the end. She gave us homework and some tools and reading. We had to look at our own stuff instead of blaming each other. Little by little we were able to stop fighting so much and now we have this happy relationship, it almost feels like a new relationship actually and even if we argue it doesn’t go on and on. It makes life way nicer and I refer her to other people too.”
Available by appointment only, Nazma has 2 locations, Burnaby and Vancouver and can book appointments to fit your schedule. Reach out to book your session or if you have any further questions.
