More about Saima
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
In a world plagued with problems, it can seem as though solutions don't exist, but I am convinced that all problems have answers. People are unique individuals, thus need specific treatment plans catering to their needs. I use an integrative approach in treating my patients. I believe my genetics background (M.Phil degree) gives me an edge in understanding behavioral issues at a much deeper level. My scholarly approach in coming up with solutions is based on scientific method - understanding the casual relationships to all problems. My work is my passion which helps me go above and beyond in healing form within.
