Psychotherapy & Counseling

    Welcome to Hidayat: Where Healing Begins

    At Hidayat: Home of Counseling and Therapy, we believe that every person carries a story — sometimes peaceful, sometimes painful. Our goal is to walk with you through your inner landscape, offering direction, support, and the tools to heal.
    Led by Ms. Shabana Azam, a seasoned psychologist and psychotherapist, our counseling services are rooted in science, guided by empathy, and shaped by the unique journey of each individual.

    What is Psychotherapy & Counseling?

    Psychotherapy is a structured, scientifically-supported process of working through emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges. At Hidayat, counseling isn’t just about problem-solving — it’s about growth, resilience, and reconnection with your authentic self.
    Through one-on-one sessions, couples counseling, or family therapy, we create a safe, confidential space to:

    • Understand and process past experiences
    • Learn new ways of thinking and responding
    • Manage stress, anxiety, and mood disorders
    • Improve self-esteem and emotional regulation
    • Build stronger relationships and boundaries
    Who is it For?

    Psychotherapy is for anyone who:

    • Feels emotionally overwhelmed or stuck
    • Is going through life transitions (grief, breakup, parenting, retirement)
    • Struggles with anxiety, depression, or burnout
    • Faces relationship or family issues
    • Wants to enhance self-awareness and personal growth
    • Needs guidance but doesn’t know where to begin

    You don’t need to have a diagnosis to seek therapy. You just need a desire to feel better.

    Therapy at Hidayat: A Personalized Journey

    Every individual is different, and so is every session. Based on an initial assessment, we create a tailored therapeutic plan using evidence-based approaches, including:

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    • Mindfulness-Based Therapy
    • Psychodynamic Therapy
    • Interpersonal Therapy
    • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
    • Trauma-Informed Care

    Your therapy is always designed to fit you — your needs, your pace, your comfort.
