rooted healing. elevated care.

Path of Discovery Counseling Services offers an affirming space where women of color are supported in cultivating lives marked by clarity, grounding, and inner peace. My work centers culturally affirming mental health care that honors lived experience and supports authentic well-being.

I believe therapy should honor the whole person, including mind, body, spirit, culture, and community. I hold space for the integration of faith and therapy for those who desire it, approaching spiritual context with care, respect, and intention. For others, therapy remains a grounded and affirming space focused on healing, growth, and self-understanding. I do not make assumptions about belief or identity. Instead, I take time to understand your unique context so that care reflects your values, experiences, and needs.

My clinical approach challenges traditional, one-size-fits-all models of care. Decolonized therapy acknowledges cultural knowledge, honors ancestral and community wisdom, and recognizes the enduring impacts of colonial systems on mental health. Liberation psychology informs an understanding of how social and political forces shape emotional well-being, emphasizing empowerment, collective healing, and agency. Womanist psychology centers the lived experiences, resilience, and leadership of Black women, supporting their flourishing amid intersecting systems of oppression.

Together, these frameworks guide a therapeutic space that is intentional, culturally responsive, and rooted in justice. I am committed to walking alongside you with humility, discernment, and care as you navigate your own path toward healing, wholeness, and restoration.

a message from fatima

Path of Discovery Counseling Services was created out of both personal experience and a deep commitment to community. As someone who has been on the other side of the therapy chair, I know what it feels like to take that vulnerable step, to wonder if you can truly trust a therapist, and then to experience the transformation that comes from being seen, heard, and supported. That journey has shaped my belief in the power of therapy to foster healing, growth, and freedom.

When I started POD, my vision was to build a practice where therapy is shaped around you, not the other way around. My hope is that as you engage in services, you feel safe enough to explore your story, supported in ways that honor your full humanity, and empowered to move toward a life that reflects peace, authenticity, love, and joy. It is an honor for us to walk alongside you on your path of discovery.

Be well
