Sabaha is an LSW therapist who approaches therapy as a collaborative process, grounded in each client’s unique perspectives, experiences, and goals. Her approach draws on relational, family systems, and liberation practices. They recognize that well-being is inseparable from the social and historical conditions of our lives, and that therapy can be a space for examining our personal experiences and the processes that shape them. Together, she and her clients explore what they hope to gain from therapy, whether that involves examining patterns, experimenting with new ways of relating, creating new possibilities, processing difficult experiences, or simply having space to be heard and understood.
Sabaha earned an MSW and PhD in Social Work from the University of Chicago and holds a master’s degree in Anthropology from The New School. Her historical and anthropological orientations inform her understanding of families as cultural and historical systems, shaped by experiences, traditions, and circumstances that create the present. Their professional experience spans clinical, educational, and community settings, with a particular emphasis on working with children and adolescents. They have provided individual counseling in school-based settings and have worked with community organizations supporting young people experiencing housing instability and loss.
Sabaha values the many ways people communicate, explore, and make meaning beyond conversation alone. She incorporates creative, experiential, and body-awareness approaches, including drawing, journaling, mapping, play, and attention to bodily sensations and experiences. These practices offer different ways of engaging with emotions, relationships, and ways of being that may be difficult to put into words. Their goal is to create a thoughtful, flexible therapeutic space that respects each client’s ways of expressing themselves and supports the spaces they wish to explore.
In her free time, Sabaha enjoys textile arts, writing, and watching podcasts on YouTube.
