Faiza Kareem, MA, LPC-Associate
I am a trilingual mental health counselor fluent in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, dedicated to helping individuals uncover their inner strengths and build more fulfilling lives. My integrative, evidence-informed approach combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to tailor care to each person’s needs.
I have experience supporting teens and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds and bring cultural sensitivity, respect, and compassion to every session. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Portland State University and am also a trained physician, which informs a holistic understanding of the interactions between physical and mental well-being.
Outside of clinical work, I am committed to community service through involvement with Islamic Social Services of Oregon State (ISOS) and Bilal Masjid. In my free time I enjoy reading, walking, and spending time in nature to stay grounded and connected.
