Saliha Qadir

Saliha Qadir specializes in working with women and couples seeking help for premarital and marital counseling, intimacy issues, modern dating, nontraditional relationships, sexual issues, and recovery from infidelity. 

Saliha understands the challenges of adjusting to cultural expectations while remaining authentic to one's true self.  She also works with adults struggling with identity, generational trauma, and enculturation, especially within the South Asian and first-generation communities. She often helps her clients navigate tough life transitions and heal from depression, anxiety, trauma, and abuse.

Saliha is an experienced therapist who provides her clients with a warm, empathetic space to share their stories. She also aims to normalize therapy and help those in the community who often feel alone and unheard. She is gifted in instilling hope and empowering her clients. 

Saliha strives to create a nonjudgmental space that encourages open communication, finds the resilience and strength people possess when going through difficult life circumstances admirable, and believes that people have within themselves the power to grow and accomplish their life goals.

“The truth is: belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable, and imperfect.” Brené Brown
