Getting to know Saleka Kabir
Hi! I’m Saleka, a Licensed Professional Counselor and an advanced Doctor of Psychology candidate with a focus in Health Psychology. I have experience working with adults facing anxiety, stress, identity changes, and major life transitions for 5+ years. I also specialize in supporting individuals experiencing disordered eating such as binge eating, emotional eating, and concerns related to weight and body image. In addition, I have expertise in working with women’s health concerns including fertility challenges, perinatal mood shifts, and reproductive stress.
In therapy, I draw from approaches like ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. My style is collaborative, values-based, and rooted in curiosity and compassion. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to explore what’s holding you back and supported as you move toward what matters most to you.
I’m especially passionate about working with clients from diverse backgrounds and making mental health care feel approachable, affirming, and real. Whether you’re looking for clarity, healing, or growth, I’m here to walk alongside you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that our work together will move at your pace. In our first sessions, we’ll focus on understanding your story, identifying your goals, and clarifying what feels most important for you right now.
You can expect me to be collaborative, curious, and supportive. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer practical strategies, and create space for both reflection and action. I may encourage gentle experiments or exercises between sessions so that the insights we build translate into real-life change.
My approach is structured enough to give you tools and direction, but flexible enough to adapt to your needs in the moment. Above all, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered as you move toward meaningful growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work together usually begins with an initial session where we talk through your concerns, history, and goals. This helps me get a clear picture of what you’re experiencing and what you’d like to change. From there, we’ll create a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for you.
In a typical session, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while also practicing practical skills and strategies you can use in daily life. Depending on your needs, I may introduce techniques from CBT, ACT, DBT, or mindfulness, but I always adapt the pace and approach to fit you.
Over time, therapy becomes a balance of reflection, insight, and active steps forward, with space for you to bring whatever feels most important each week.
