My approach to therapy: I utilize evidence-based interventions, but I focus on making them informal through our conversation. I find this makes therapeutic work feel easier to do/access. My motto is to work smarter, not harder.

Looking for a Middle Eastern or North African Therapist? You’re Not Alone

Many people seek a therapist who shares their cultural background or understands their lived experience. If you identify as having Middle Eastern or North African (MENA) heritage, then working with a therapist who gets the cultural, familial, and social dynamics you’ve grown up with can make therapy feel safer, deeper, and more effective.

Wherever you are in Farmington, NM, Mental Health Match can help you find a therapist from a Middle Eastern or North African background who aligns with your needs and values.

Why Choose a Middle Eastern or North African Therapist?

There’s no need to explain your reasons—but here are some ways that working with a MENA therapist can be especially meaningful:

  • Cultural understanding and shared identity – A therapist who shares or understands your background may better relate to your experiences with immigration, religion, family expectations, or cultural stigma around mental health.
  • Comfort and connection – You may feel more at ease opening up about sensitive topics—like gender roles, identity, trauma, or faith—with someone who doesn’t need extra context.
  • Safety and emotional freedom – With a MENA therapist, you may not feel the pressure to code-switch, explain cultural references, or guard against stereotypes—making it easier to focus on healing.
  • Support that reflects your lived experience – A shared cultural lens can foster a deeper sense of trust, validation, and belonging in the therapeutic relationship.

Every person’s mental health journey is different. A therapist’s background is just one part of the picture—their style, training, and personality also matter. Learn more about how to choose the right therapist for you.
