These Sessions ARE NOT for you If...
You are experiencing a mental health emergency, thoughts of harming yourself or others, severe psychiatric symptoms, or symptoms that require urgent medical or psychiatric care.
These Sessions Are For You If...
You struggle with anxiety, harsh self-judgment, relationship difficulties, impulsive reactions, or feeling distant from Allah, and you want compassionate guidance and practical steps toward greater sakeenah.
Important note: Your well-being comes first. If I notice that your needs require medical care or more specialized support, I will discuss this with you honestly and help guide you toward the appropriate professional.
Questions You May Have
I’ll listen to you and learn about the difficulty you want to work on. We’ll make sure the sessions suit your needs and that you feel comfortable working with me. If we decide to continue, we’ll identify your initial goals and agree on a starting plan.
Many people need around 8 to 12 sessions to experience meaningful change, but your needs may differ. We’ll review your progress together and discuss any change to the plan openly. You do not have to wait until the end to notice any progress. We will regularly reflect on what is changing and adjust our plan when needed.
The free introductory session lasts around 30 minutes. Regular sessions last up to 60 minutes. If a session ends within the first 30 minutes, it is counted as half a session, and the remaining time can be used later. Regular sessions last 60 minutes. If a session ends before the full hour, it may be counted as half a session, and you can arrange another time to use the remaining half.
The introductory session is always free. Following that, individual sessions are $50 each. Discounted packages are also available: 8-Session Package: $375 (instead of $400) 12-Session Package: $530 (instead of $600) For clients residing in Egypt, local pricing in EGP is available at sakeenah.life.
A Message from Me
I’m Yasmina Maher, a researcher and counselor in Islamic psychology.
My own journey toward inner peace involved a great deal of searching and stumbling. For some time, I followed paths that took me away from the deepest purpose of my life: drawing closer to Allah, Most High.
When I began studying Islamic psychology, what I learned changed Yasmina before it gave me the knowledge and tools to support anyone else.
Because I struggled along the way, I recognize a part of myself in every Muslim woman who feels as though she is fighting against herself instead of learning how to fight for herself.
I came to believe that understanding ourselves through the Quran and Sunnah, while drawing from the rich legacy of our scholars, can transform the way we see ourselves, our struggles, and our journey through life. After all, who knows the soul better than Allah, the One who created it?
That is how Sakeenah Life began: to help you understand yourself, face your struggles with compassion and awareness, and move one step at a time toward greater sakeenah, a heart closer to Allah, a good life in this world, and His pleasure in the next.
Before we begin, we’ll make sure that the support I offer is right for your needs. If you require medical care or someone with a different specialization, I will tell you honestly and help guide you toward more suitable support.
Our sessions are confidential, nonjudgmental, and guided by goals we agree on together. I will not promise quick results, make your decisions for you, or offer ready-made answers. I will offer honesty, respect for my professional limits, and a commitment to keep learning and support you without using an approach that conflicts with your values.
