I had a really positive experience working with Samreen. She was easy to talk to, but also challenged my thinking in a way that helped me see situations from different perspectives. As a South Asian woman, it was especially valuable to work with someone who understood the cultural context behind many of the things I was working through. I didn't have to explain family dynamics or cultural expectations, which made our sessions much more productive. Samreen helped me build the skills to soothe myself and unpack situations on my own, which gave me the tools to manage challenges independently and trust my own judgment. Those are skills I'll continue to use even after therapy has ended. She also shared practical worksheets and exercises that helped me continue working through things between sessions. I finished therapy feeling more confident in myself and would highly recommend her.

Client Reflections
One of the greatest privileges of my work is witnessing people reconnect with their strengths, gain new perspectives and create lasting change in their lives. The reflections below have been shared by clients who kindly gave permission for their feedback to be included. I hope they offer a glimpse into what it feels like to work together and the impact therapy can have on people’s lives.
My sessions with Samreen for the last 3 years have been transformative. Her empathetic approach and culturally sensitive, insightful guidance have helped me navigate life's challenges with clarity and confidence. I always leave feeling understood and empowered and am extremely grateful to have such a powerful therapeutic relationship.
Samreen is the best therapist I've ever seen. I've been in therapy on and off for many years, and previous therapists only scratched the surface. Samreen's approach is warm, kind, and direct when needed. She is incredibly intuitive and has an unmatched ability to help reframe difficult experiences in a way that provides genuine closure. After experiencing significant trauma, I feared I would never truly heal. After working with Samreen for several years, I now feel more content within myself than I ever imagined possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Samreen and her practice.
Samreen is a wonderful therapist who has helped me manage my OCD and anxiety. She creates a safe, supportive environment and listens carefully while encouraging me to reflect on my thoughts and emotions. Through our sessions, I've developed practical tools that help me approach future challenges with greater confidence and self-awareness.
I cherish my sessions with Samreen. Each one uncovers truths I had not considered, and I can now finally see myself from the outside; more importantly, I am starting to like what I see. We have had weekly sessions for two years now, and I was lucky to stumble across her (thanks to a spiral staircase I could not manage!). Our sessions worked from the very beginning because I was struck by Samreen's kindness. I felt completely safe, both body and mind, and knew I could discuss absolutely anything. And that is exactly what has happened, whether recounting fantastical dreams or reviewing episodes from my past. One moment I wish to share is when she asked me: "What would you say to that little eight-year-old boy?" Suddenly, my heart filled with kindness and encouragement towards this brave child. That boy was me, and the episode I recounted had remained buried for over half a century. I told that little boy he was brave, so brave, and that he should be proud of himself for facing what he did. That moment was profoundly healing. I had a stroke three years ago, and the trauma of that, layered on top of everything from my past, has been immense. Samreen has worked with me through all of it, and I have come to see that she is incredibly gifted at dealing with trauma. When I told my Radiologist friend about my weekly sessions, he simply said: "We all need a psychoanalyst." I think he was right. I have no idea what my future sessions will bring; it is an open path, and it looks rather inviting. What I do know is that Samreen's kindness is genuine, and she has created a space where I feel seen, heard, and safe. That is precious beyond words.
