Getting to know Sariya Idriss

"These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them." --Rumi Are you committed to your growth but feeling stuck, heavy, lost? You may be successful in many areas of life, yet still feel an inner restlessness or a longing for deeper clarity and alignment. You might be navigating complex questions around identity, purpose, or legacy—and you’re seeking a skilled, thoughtful therapist to help you explore those layers with nuance and care. Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief; it’s about transformation. I work best with individuals who are emotionally ready to invest in themselves and want a space where depth, honesty, and insight are welcomed. My specialties include depression, anxiety, grief, existential concerns, and trauma—with a particular focus on bicultural identity and intergenerational healing. My approach draws from psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, multicultural psychology, LGBTQ-affirming care, and trauma-informed practice. I’m committed to ongoing growth—both through advanced training and the richness of my own lived experience. As an Arab-American who grew up in Lebanon, I bring a deep, personal understanding of what it means to hold multiple cultural narratives and navigate the complexity and beauty that can bring. My approach is collaborative and warm. I meet you where you are while finding ways to challenge you and help you grow from that space. All your emotions are welcome here—whether it’s a fierce, righteous anger at the world’s injustices, a deep-seated loneliness, or even the guilty pleasure of feeling joy when life is overwhelmingly complicated. We’ll connect authentically, unravel the stories woven through your personal, familial, and cultural experiences, and discover how to navigate your world with a little more freedom and lightness.
