Clinical Approach
Nabeeha believes that becoming a parent, preparing for a baby, and navigating the changes that come with this season of life can bring a mix of emotions that are not always easy to talk about.
Nabeeha’s approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the understanding that each person’s experiences are shaped by their relationships, upbringing, and environment. Having grown up in Pakistan and lived in Canada, she recognizes how cultural values, family expectations, and the messages we receive about parenthood can influence how we experience this transition.
She believes that no one should have to go through their perinatal journey alone, and that having support during this time can shape how we cope with challenges, adjust to change, and care for ourselves along the way. Nabeeha strives to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can safely explore the emotions that come with this transition, especially the confusing, unexpected, and difficult-to-express ones.
Nabeeha is an Associate Clinical Social Worker, currently under the supervision of Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Jenica McKeown, LCSW #62086.

Nabeeha brings with her previous experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges related to substance use, childhood trauma, and physical/sexual abuse. Her clinical background informs her thoughtful, trauma-informed approach and her understanding of the ways our past experiences can shape our present selves.

Her Passions

What’s your go-to comfort food?
“Pho is one of my favorite comfort foods, along with anything that is broth-based or noodle-y.”
What does your ideal weekend look like?
“Spending time with my husband, getting a sweet treat or eating out, and having a few episodes of my current favorite show to watch at the end of the day.”
How would you best describe the process of therapy?
“One of the hardest things you can do is trust someone with your story; the moments and experiences that have shaped who you are today. My job is to understand how you became the person you are today and to have sincere compassion for that story. I want you to walk away from therapy feeling truly heard, cared for, and understood, while also feeling better equipped with the tools and confidence to navigate whatever comes your way in the chapters ahead.”
