Great to meet you!

I’m Munir, a licensed mental health counselor with 19 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a master’s degree in community counseling and 4 years of post-master’s education in a counseling psychology PhD program from Washington state University. I have extensive training and certifications in anxiety treatment (CCATP) and advanced grief counseling (CAGCS) as well as mindfulness (CMIP).

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the gold standard, evidence-based method grounded in empathy and collaboration. I focus on a holistic understanding of each person, integrating cultural identities and personal experiences, especially in my work with religious diversity and Muslim mental health clients. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, set realistic goals, and discover a fulfilling path forward.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave our sessions with practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and grief, considering your unique religious and cultural needs as strengths. Together, we will set realistic goals tailored to your journey, fostering a sense of progress and empowerment. Ultimately, my aim is to help you cultivate a more meaningful and fulfilling life, guided by your values and aspirations.
