Being is a mental health brand that explores the emotions of being human. I was inspired to create this space after constantly coming across mental health tips that were abstract. I personally wanted practical tools to take care of my wellbeing so I decided to dig into the research behind what actually works. In an effort to share my findings, I create digital content to help others navigate their wellness journey, too. You can follow along with me on Instagram: @your.being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61099217ef794a318a794c2e/1632771556692-6F24U0QTUXKKXT7FEG03/Light_Blue_Background.jpg Being https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog daily 0.75 2021-09-15 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/anxiety monthly 0.5 2021-11-22 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/regulating-emotions monthly 0.5 2021-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61099217ef794a318a794c2e/6a1054c1-721a-40df-8fdc-19dae83bb3d6/Guide+to+Regulating+Emotions+by+Being.jpg Blog - Regulating Emotions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/depression monthly 0.5 2021-09-27 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/body-shaming monthly 0.5 2021-09-21 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/emotional-eating monthly 0.5 2021-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61099217ef794a318a794c2e/1631723598716-GZSW3VJLHE376S3NVD8L/ay-1_orig.png Blog - Emotional Eating - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61099217ef794a318a794c2e/1631723582162-1QHI192OSS9PJM3N94DQ/ay-2_orig.png Blog - Emotional Eating - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/panic-attacks monthly 0.5 2021-09-27 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/wellness-in-activism monthly 0.5 2021-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61099217ef794a318a794c2e/1631723956452-CXNYTPGDL5G73MP1X3O8/5.png Blog - Wellness in Activism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/the-model-minority monthly 0.5 2021-09-21 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/the-power-of-mantras monthly 0.5 2021-09-21 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/thinking-traps monthly 0.5 2021-09-21 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/accepting-yourself monthly 0.5 2021-09-21 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/blog/what-should-i-write-about monthly 0.5 2021-09-21 https://www.sadafsiddiqi.com/services daily 0.75 2024-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61099217ef794a318a794c2e/2743b196-a371-429f-9b7f-0e8191b4f0a1/Being_Images+%289%29.png Services - About my services. In my private practice, I work with young adults who are struggling with unhealthy thoughts and patterns that stem from anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, or a general lack of fulfillment. Maybe your life appears to be "in order" but you find yourself struggling each day: you feel emotionally exhausted, scroll mindlessly on social media, or feel stuck in a comparison trap. You may start to recognize the impact of this on your relationships, career, or your sense of worth. If this sounds like you, let's connect. Our work together can help you identify the potential barriers in your life and break unhealthy habits. Read more about my services below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61099217ef794a318a794c2e/730b14ad-99b8-48b6-842c-0fffe544b928/Being_Images+%2810%29.png Services - Work with me. I provide individual and group sessions, as well as curated wellness workshops for organizations. My priority is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share openly, learn, and grow. I'm trained in several methods, but I often use an approach that combines tools from developmental psychology (e.g., attachment theory, childhood experiences) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (e.g., increasing self-awareness, managing emotional triggers). I create a unique treatment plan that will teach you sustainable strategies for wellness. Therapy is is life-changing and one of the best investments you can make in yourself. Everyone has a story to tell and I'm looking forward to hearing yours.

As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help build awareness and cultivate change through education, intention, and compassion. My passion for this field stems from my personal experience of being raised in a South Asian culture where I witnessed many people in my community ignore their mental health and further contribute to the stigma around help-seeking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61099217ef794a318a794c2e/1632760207950-CEQ2Z8UOGYBWXJ4HY3Z1/Being+Images+%287%29.png About - Education and therapeutic style. I have a graduate degree (M.S.) in Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and a B.S. in Developmental Psychology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I'm trained in several methods, but I primarily use an approach that combines tools from developmental psychology (e.g., attachment theory) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (e.g., emotional regulation) . All of my applied experiences emphasized wellness through a public health approach, so I use current research and evidence-based methods to support my work as a clinician.
