“ I’ve been working with Lubna for 3 months,and I can confidently say that she has made a profound impact on my life. From the very first session, I felt listened to, understood, and supported in a way I hadn’t experienced before. Lubna creates a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable opening up about my challenges, and her approach is both compassionate and insightful. I’ve also noticed significant progress in my overall well-being, and I feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges. Lubna truly cares about her clients’ growth, and it shows in the way she checks in, offers encouragement, and holds space for difficult emotions. I highly recommend Lubna to anyone looking for professional, empathetic, and effective therapy. Her support has been invaluable to me, and I’m deeply grateful for the work we’ve done together so far! ”

I personally recommend her. She knows her job well.

My first appointment went really well with Dr. Lubna and I had some thoughts that she revealed that were very helpful to me. However, my second appointment not so much.
We started off with doing a breathing exercise and painting, during this time I was talking about some thoughts I had to her and I felt that she was only half listening compared to our first appointment.
She was silently writing for 30 or so minutes while I painted, occasionally chatting with me while I vented, not really probing like the first time.
20 minutes before the end of the meeting she handed me a sheet with people she was referring me to, because I was out of her scope of work.
I wish she just led with this at the beginning of the meeting..
It’s frustrating because I paid for a full meeting drove 30 minutes, planned my day around it and was ready to talk about some thoughts I had since last time. But instead we talked very little on building off those thoughts. Just felt like I wasted my time and money.

Lubna has been the best thing to happen to me! In such a short amount of time I have seen such a huge change in myself.
I have had other therapists before that I saw for years and didn't get even half the help I have received with Lubna. She is amazing!
