Noor Ibrahim

Noor Ibrahim

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I'm a Palestinian/Iraqi immigrant woman that grew up Muslim in America. I provide culturally responsive therapy for immigrant women or children of immigrants, but I also have a variety of clients from all walks of life.


I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from Boston College. (My first Master's Degree was in Education from Rutgers University - which means I also do a lot of psychoeducation in my sessions!) I've worked with students with disabilities, in college counseling centers, in group practices, and now I have my own private practice.


Prior to being a therapist, I worked in higher education with college students for thirteen years.

Psychologist

Virtual • Marshfield, MA


You want relief, not years on a couch. Whether it's anxiety, a low mood that has settled in, or a craving you keep losing to, you're motivated to change and want help doing it. I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Massachusetts with more than 39 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, seniors, and couples get free of anxiety, stress, depression, cravings, and old trauma. I came to psychology from ministry, wanting to get into the nitty-gritty of how change actually happens. I'm solution-oriented, honest, and truly non-judgmental. If spiritual questions matter to you, they're welcome here, but I'll follow your lead on whether they come up.
