we understand what you’re going through.

You have tried to do it all on your own. Maybe you have been taught that you should be able to handle these things on your own and that seeking support is weak or shameful. You’re holding it together, but barely.

You try and just keep moving forward. Maybe it’ll go away if you don’t pay too much attention to it. Maybe this is just a season and you’ll feel differently soon. That was the past, just focus on the future. No matter what, you find yourself in the same spot.

You compare yourself to others and feel like you often come up short. You feel like you’re behind in your life, fear that something is wrong with you, and wonder what you’re missing that others seem to have mastered.

Maybe you’ve developed a whole host of coping mechanisms to help you. You’ve learned to compartmentalize, intellectualize, deny, suppress, and dismiss. You busy yourself so you don’t have to feel, but these short term solutions don’t last.

You deserve better. Break Free from Stagnation, shame and struggle.
Gain clarity and move forward with confidence, not fear.

AT NOOR, we provide trauma-informed, culturally-responsive care delivered with acceptance, respect, and genuineness to individuals, couples, and groups in California and New York.
