Rasha Shalaby, MA, AMFT
Therapy is an invitation to come back to oneself, in an empathic, non-judgmental space. I aim to hold that space for you through deep attunement and a collaborative, genuine, and playful approach. I work relationally, meaning that together, with curiosity, we explore the relational dynamics that influence your day-to-day life and may impact your well-being and sense of self.
I believe understanding what brought us to this moment in time allows us to cultivate conscious awareness and empathy for our experiences as well as others’. I equally believe that we have control over our thoughts and can make conscious choices in creating the reality we wish to exist within.
Developing a kinship with the experience we wish to cultivate, and understanding the blocks that separate us from this experience, is a key part of how I work. I am trained in EMDR Therapy and have found it to be an invaluable tool in helping us recognize and break the patterns that strengthen those blocks and separate us from the life we wish to live.
The mind does not exist in a vacuum; in working together, you will also learn to attune to how your body is impacted by your thoughts, and you will be invited to develop a daily routine that allows for a conscious somatic connection to be built and strengthened.
I especially love working with couples, as the present experience of “the other” in a relationship gives us a beautiful roadmap of where we may be stuck, allowing for expansive possibilities of growth for each partner and the relationship.
I have earned a Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, with a specialization in Depth Psychology. My work is trauma-informed, and I have completed my EMDR Training I and II through an EMDRIA-authorized site. I am an IKYTA certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher.
I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and aware of white supremacy’s impact on the experiences of BIPOC and MENA folks. I am committed to the ongoing recognition and awareness of those experiences and needs. ~ RASHA
