I’m Saphia, an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist passionate about promoting mental well-being and fostering growth. My journey began at the University of Southern California, where I earned both my Master of Science in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Science in Public Policy and Development, making me a proud ‘Double Trojan.’  

Before stepping into the field of mental health, I explored the world of entertainment, collaborating with companies such as MAMAG Studios, Parallel CTZN, Amazon, and Nike. In 2021, I pivoted towards mental health after recognizing how essential healing is to community well-being. Since then, I’ve consulted for impactful organizations like Russell Westbrook’s “Why Not?” Foundation, Hollywood Unlocked! Foundation, Altro Credit and the Black Star Fund. I’ve also contributed to initiatives with the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health and currently serve on the board of the Center for Muslim Mental Health and Islamic Psychology.
