    She's so skilled at her ability to read between the lines and assess the root of an issue. I have had so many unlocks with her which I wasn't sure if I could really achieve in virtual therapy. I look forward to my conversations with her every week and feel a gap on weeks we haven't.

    It feels like Rashida really works with you and guides without pressure or forcing information on you, giving you task after task or rushing you through things.

I don't think I would be at the stage I am without her.

FAQs

  • The comprehensive assessment is where I will gather information about the your symptoms, history, and overall mental and emotional health. This helps in understanding the underlying causes and tailoring the treatment accordingly.

  • Holistic therapy offers a safe space to address emotions, develop coping skills, and gain insight. It considers your physical health, social support, and spiritual practices. While therapy delves into the past to resolve underlying issues, coaching focuses on current challenges and future goals. Holistic psychotherapy takes a comprehensive approach to mental health, acknowledging the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. This approach recognizes how various aspects of life impact emotional wellbeing. Psychotherapy targets harmful thought patterns and behaviors through talk therapy, while Clinical Hypnotherapy utilizes relaxation and visualization to overcome challenges.

  • I am a licensed clinical social worker; I do not prescribe medication. However, I can work with your psychiatrist to assess the need for medication and monitor its effects.

  • You’ll provide the goals. I’ll encourage you to make positive changes in your lifestyle, such as improving sleep habits, engaging in regular physical exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, and avoiding excessive alcohol or substance use that can contribute to overall well-being and help minimize or eliminate negative symptoms.

  • You do. I will encourage you to prioritize self-care activities that promote emotional well-being, such as engaging in hobbies, practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga), spending time in nature, or engaging in healthy creative outlets as part of your overall wellness treatment. The specifics are up to you.

  • I think it’s a good idea to implement and practice what we discuss outside of session. This reinforces the new healthy coping strategies. Homework may include journaling, mindfulness exercises, practicing gratitude, or engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation. Each strategy solidifies the groundwork to address challenges, such as healing from loss, adjusting to sudden change, or living with depression, as examples.

  • Khemura Wellness is non-sectarian, focusing on holistic well-being. I believe activities like hiking, camping, gardening, and communing with nature can rejuvenate the soul. I may suggest meditation, a spiritual practice for quieting the mind. Our office features gemstones and spiritual symbols honoring diverse cultural traditions, but we won't advocate any particular doctrine or infringe on your freedom. Your beliefs and connection with divinity are respected as your personal journey.
