Umaimah Maryam, M.S., LMFT-Associate
Welcome!
Hi, I’m Umaimah Maryam. I’m here to help you navigate life’s toughest moments and build a life that feels more grounded and fulfilling. Whether you’re facing relationship struggles, family challenges, or feeling weighed down by anxiety, trauma, or significant life transitions, you don’t have to face it alone.
With over a decade of experience, I provide culturally sensitive therapy to individuals, couples, children, and families across the globe. My work in Pakistan, Malaysia, and the United States has given me a deep understanding of diverse backgrounds and the unique ways culture shapes our experiences. I’m passionate about helping you reconnect with yourself, heal emotional wounds, and find deeper meaning in your relationships.
