Bushra Shaheen

Hi, I’m Bushra. I provide therapy for Asian American, Queer, and Muslim clients through an intersectional lens. I have 9 years of experience working with clients who are managing day-to-day anxiety, navigating an unjust society, working through their identity and cultural expectations, and figuring out relationships—whether that’s with family, friends, partners, or themselves. I believe that we’re all human doing our best to move through a complicated world. The choices we make don’t come out of nowhere. They’re shaped by our environments, our histories, families, and the systems we live within.

I am a trauma-informed therapist trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). In IFS, we get to know the different parts of you—the anxious part, the perfectionist part, or the younger part—with curiosity and compassion. The goal isn’t to get rid of these parts but to understand what they might need in order for you to live a life that is true to who you are.

As a therapist, I can offer a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported as you navigate the outer world with your inner world. If you’d like to learn more about how we can work together, please reach out today.
