I have to say that I am very pleased with tahreer. It is very reassuring that she makes herself readily available if you ever need to talk about anything. As a therapist, she is more than qualified to deal with whatever life is throwing at you. But she really excels as a person. She's super easy to talk to and really listens when you need it. On a side note, I also am very appreciative of the advice given from another new parent. I honestly don't know how she could do all the therapy she does AND mother a child, on top of all the regular things she has to do in everyday life. Much respect.

Hello -
My approach to therapy is based on the conviction that our current behaviors are a function of our system and relationships with others. I try to learn from my client's experiences to develop a better understanding of who they are, how they developed their sense of self, their worldview, and behavior. Together, I believe we can identify and overcome the obstacles that prevent you from living the life you desire. I customize my extensive training to best suit your healing and goals. I combine cognitive behavioral and experiential techniques in working with individuals and couple. I approach counseling from a systemic view point and incorporate CBT and solution-focused perspective with the focus on helping clients create solutions to problems they may face. I come to a session with a true interest in people, a sincere desire to understand the emotional struggle, and a fundamental respect for one’s personal value and self-determination. Most importantly, I am a new parent to an incredible baby boy whom you may hear in the background occasionally.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She always makes me feel comfortable. She has been so helpful and honest with feedback
Taheer is great! She helped me with a lot of emotional challenges and helped me effectively deal with them. I wouldn’t be in the place I am today without her.
I love Tahreer. She is honest, kind, and real. I appreciate her calling me on my nonsense.
Tahreer has and is helping me through many of life’s hurdles and challenges. I have grown so much with her and continue to find new things about me through the process. I am excited for what more we can accomplish together and realize that the work and healing only starts once I was able to open up and be completely honest about my feelings and thoughts. I highly highly recommend her expertise and trust her with all lasers of my life as she has been instrumental in this new phase of life I am currently navigating. I appreciate her so much and happy I have found her to guide me on my journey through life!
I cannot recommend Tahreer highly enough. I had never gone through therapy before so I was initially hesitant but after my first session with her I felt like I made the right choice. It felt very easy to talk to her. If you’re on the fence about therapy I would suggest signing up for some sessions with Tahreer to see if it’s the right fit.
I've been in therapy with Tahreer for over a year and I am constantly amazed with my progress. She has helped me become a kinder person to myself and it's been transformational for the other aspects of my life. I credit her with helping me to gain the clarity to move forward in a healthier way through big life changes. Her approach is always open and honest but encouraging self reflection. She enables me to realize things about myself rather than telling me. Fostering an ability for me to maintain my progress since I had the realization myself and have already internalized it. I am in such a better space today because of her.
Tahreer always has a solution I can use when I ask about a symptom of my mental illness cropping up. She’s extremely kind, very patient and nothing phases her. I’ve only been with her about a month but in that time she’s been a life saver
Tahreer has made my first experience with Therapy a brilliant and successful starting point. She is calm and professional with her approach with my well-being at the heart of our sessions. She has a shown great expertise and helped me see things in a different light, teaching me techniques with my anxiety. Tahreer is a amazing.
I worked with her for about 3 years and she help me get through so much. I have learned more about myself and what I could achieve than I would have with anyone else.
I love Tahreer. I have seen so many improvements with my mental health since being paired with her and she has helped me reach many of the goals I had in therapy. I would recommend her to anyone!
Working with Tahreer has been great. I was somewhat hesitant and nervous about seeing a therapist and using betterhelp but she’s been amazing so far. Highly recommend.
Tahreer has been really helpful in reframing how I approach certain situations that have come up for me. She has also just been a great listener and helped me process through how I feel rather than blindly reacting. I have enjoyed getting to learn from her and learn more about myself along the way.
Tahreer has helped me so much already and we’ve only been in contact a couple weeks. She gets back to me quickly with amazing help and advice. She takes the time to listen and support me. Her help and advice has started to change my mindset already and I’m sure within time my mindset will completely and stop me overthinking and worrying.
Tahreer's counselling has changed my life, I can see what was driving my anxiety and I can see what I need to work on for the first time in 20 years. I'm not just brushing it under the carpet as inconsequential, I'm facing it and working on it. She has made me see that it's real and that I am worth someone spending this time helping me.
Tahreer is amazing! I love that she makes me feel powerful and responsible for taking charge of my mental health journey. She is a great listener, and I admire her transparency. She is very dependable and cares deeply about her clients and her work. I highly recommend her services!
She is amazing!
Had two video appointments so far and my impression is very good. Tahreer asks hard questions in a calm manner, lets me take time to think it over and I never feel judged. She is calm, kind and professional but strict and keeps it real.
Tahreer Ahmad is a fantastic listener, she is patient, and she helps me understand my choices in a way that supports and encourages me to grow in a safe environment. I choose audio only, because it helps me stay in touch with myself, and she is always attentive and compassionate. 10/10 would recommend!
I absolutely love Tahreer. She is the best.
Tahreer is amazing! She listens and respects me and makes me feel safe and comfortable.
You are in excellent hands with Tahreer. She is caring, kind and overall I really appreciated her approach to therapy. Talking with her weekly helped me learn to see my value and set boundaries with others.
Tahreer is an amazing listener! She gives thoughtful responses while also gently challenging to you think differently through reflective assignments. I’m very fortunate to have her as my counsellor! She took me from a state of crying everyday to never being happier and loving myself more everyday. She taught me that true self love comes from confronting your past and validating your emotions. She is very supportive throughout the process and let’s you know that she is also available to send a message to outside your therapy session.
I was nervous to start therapy as I wasn’t sure “how” to do it. Tahreer made, and continues to make it “comfortable “. She directs the sessions and the fear / anxiety I had about talk therapy is completely gone. I find myself looking forward to my sessions and would highly recommend Tahreer (and have)
Tahreer is great. She is very grounding and definitely brings perspective which helps offer clarity. She is a great listener and helped me gain skills to navigate some of the toughest times.
Very helpful counselling! Highly recommend Tahreer to friends and people who needs support.
You'd be very lucky to have Tahreer as your counsellor. I can't thank her enough for patiently walking me through my mind and helping me see myself and my life clearly. She is supportive, accommodating, genuinely caring and very personable! She's always been there as prompt as possible to respond to me through the week, and also takes the time to check in between sessions. She has a talent for getting to the root of your problem when you can't see it yourself, and helps to untangle it. For the first time in a very long time, I am depression and anxiety free thanks to her help. I could go on for days, but I'm just grateful I let her help me.
She listens to everything I have to say and gives wonderful advice. She is always available to talk and makes time for whatever you need
Tahreer is the best! She listens and really helps you understand what you’re going through. I have never been to a therapist before, but she made me comfortable and was super welcoming.
Very helpful!
Tahreer is so understanding. She has a wonderful, kind heart, and she makes me feel truly seen.
Tahreer is very easy to talk to, she provides excellent recommendations, listens and has a talent for uncovering problems that I have difficulty communicating. She is flexible with her availability, is understanding and empathetic. I love that she checks in with me and talks to me on a very human level. Her approach to using self-healing or naturopathic measures fits well with my own philosophies, therefore I couldn’t recommend her enough.
She is a wonderful counselor. Really gets me and helps me work through issues. Check in with me often and is very understanding. Would definitely recommend her.
Tahreer has helped me so much. I feel like a better version of myself. Her guidance had impacted me significantly.
She has been very helpful for me so far. I feel confident that she listens and has given me many tools to work with from a diversity of angles and disciplines which I appreciate. She is easy to talk to, intuitive and very respectful.
This was my first time in therapy but talking to Tahreer was so easy, she's so warm and genuine and understanding. After a couple of weeks I was already doing better, and after a few months I felt like a new person, way more happy and confident and calm. I would recommend her to everyone.
She is great! The best ! She helped me before and now she's helping me again. My life changed a lot since I signed up here :)
Tahreer is absolutely lovely and very easy to talk to. Her advice is helpful and she’s very encouraging and supportive. I would definitely recommend her to others!
Tahreer is one of the best counselors I’ve ever worked with, easily. She knows what she’s doing, and she always looks at situations objectively and unbiased, a true professional.
I enjoyed my time with Tahreer. I felt an instant connection and rapport that was very reassuring. (I had just ended my relationship with my previous therapist and the thought of starting over was daunting.) Tahreer's advice and guidance was reasonable and grounded in current therapeutic practices. I can't recommend Taheer enough!
I’m so thankful to be placed with Tahreer. She’s very understanding and always there when you need her. I always feel so much better after our sessions.
She is very compassionate and really cares about me. We’ve had a lot of laughs together and also serious conversation. She has helped me tremendously.
You’d be so lucky if Tahreer Ahmad is your counselor. Even though we’re in different countries, she totally understands me and even understand the situation better than I do. She’s a professional and I’m so glad that she was my counselor, she showed me the right path and believed in me.
My counselor listens, understands and gives me the support I need. Without her I will not improve the way I'm improving.
Tahreer is very supportive and nice. I feel better after talking to her.

Tahreer is a champion. She is reasonable and understanding, and even though we are in different countries, she relates very well. Just two weeks and my primary challenges have been resolved!
