One of the reasons I think ๐ญ everyone should be in therapy is because we all have some form of brokenness in us. There is no perfect person who will love โฅ๏ธus exactly as we want. Understanding our inner wounds allows us to be better lovers and partners! We all have blindspots and therapy or coaching can help with that. Don't let your wounds and pain infiltrate your relationships! If you want to schedule a session- Call ๐ us at 703-303-8832 or email ๐ง [email protected] to schedule an appointment.

One of the things I've seen as a woman is how society treats confident, strong ๐ช๐ป women. Let's just say it is not embraced with open arms ๐ค and appreciated. Many strong ๐ช๐ป women encounter shame, ridicule or are tried to be torn down by a patriarchal society and it is a way to control and manipulate. You can't control or manipulate someone who knows their value, worth and has strong boundaries and respect for themselves.

"The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. "- Mother Theresa In the words of the great, beloved Mother Theresa; she was definitely ๐ฏ on to something. Sadly over 17 years of counseling endless individuals, families, and couples- the greatest void is that of unconditional, long suffering love โฅ๏ธ. Too many people are in relationships or friendships with conditions and many feel unloved, unappreciated, and unseen. If you read this post, I hope ๐ค๐ผ you know that, "You Matter! You are valuable and your presence is appreciated and needed in this world!" I'm truly sorry if no one made you feel loved, special or appreciated. I PROMISE YOU; it's NOT you and it's them. Even if the people who abandoned you or rejected you were your parents, family or friends please know that it's them and they carry their own pain and trauma that projected on to you! I hope ๐ค๐ผ you find people who choose you and if you don't that's okay as long as you keep choosing you!! Honestly, most people are barely holding on by a thread ๐ชก that it may be hard for them to provide you with the emotional support and care you need and as I tell my own patients- "No one can give you what they don't have." Please ๐๐ป don't internalize the rejection, abandonment or them not choosing you as an indicator that you are unlovable or unworthy because you are! Everyone is worthy of love โฅ๏ธand care! If you are struggling or need some support or help; please know that we are happy to help and we offer a safe, nonjudgmental and supportive environment to support you! โฅ๏ธ๐ซโฅ๏ธ Call ๐ us today at 703-303-8832 or email ๐ง [email protected] #struggling #strugglingquotes #lonewolf #noonepicksme #hereforyou #youwillgetthroughthis #fightingmydemons #strugglinginsilence
In 17 years of counseling people, I've seen many people hold on to people who have made them lose their selves, their identity and even their voice. It may have been a relationship, a friendship or even familial connections. Not everyone has to have access to you and learn to discern when maybe it's best to keep distance or end the relationship.

Sometimes people hear ๐ from their parents, "Wait until you have a kid like you!" like it's an insult or bad omen on them and their child.

Childhood trauma is one of those things that can be hard to let go of especially when it bleeds into your adulthood. It is easy to blame our parents/guardians or families for their shortcomings and the suffering and consequences it caused us. However, one thing is clear in healing and that is harboring the pain and anger only hurts us in the long run. In this pain we carrry, we have choices and that is to let go, forgive and heal or we can carry the negative emotions and pain while marinating in our traumas. It's very hard to heal a trauma bond and it's not easy! However, God can heal and give us peace and comfort that no one else can. #trauma #traumabond #traumarecovery #traumahealing #weareallbroken #healingjourney #innerchild #innerchildhealing #innerchildlove #innerchildtrauma #christiantherapistsofinstagram #coptictherapist #godcanheal #giveittogod

Over the years, we get so many messages about ourselves that affect us to question โare we good enough or are we too much? Over the years, I've heard so many messages like, "you're too much!", "you're too quiet ๐ค, "you're too talkative or too passionate." "You think you're all that" "You don't think highly of yourself" and the array of messages and the list goes on and on. The reality is you don't need to be anything for anyone. The only thing that you need is to understand that you're enough and there's nothing wrong with you! So many of us have been made to question ourselves or who we are because of things people have said or done to us. You matter! There is noone else like you. #selflove #youmatter #youareenough #dontletanyonebringyoudown #wordsofwisdom #youareperfect #yourenotalone #yourenottoomuch #disregardthehaters #hatersbelike #hatersgonnahate๐ #itsnotyourjobtomakeothershappy #ignorenegativity #arabictherapist #coptictherapist #mentalhealthmatters #tunethemout #youareloved
As an Egyptian ๐ช๐ฌ Middle Eastern therapist, I've had the honor and pleasure of working with many different Arab/Middle Eastern populations and have noticed a few of the unhealthy dynamics that our culture and communities need to change. Many of you have dmed me and asked for posts on the Arab/Middle Eastern culture and family dynamics and I'm happy to help out. One of the biggest misconceptions that I see is that if we keep secrets ๐ค our family is safe and happy but sadly that's far from true. The reality is that anything that is damaged or broken needs fixing and healing โค๏ธโ๐ฉน. We all have brokenness and there's nothing to be ashamed of. We all need help and support in life! We all struggle and we all go through hard times! If you need help or support, we are happy to help you!

Repost- @joenasandiego & @jsdbooks God puts us in the most interesting places and for the most divine reasons. Growing up as an introverted empath, I always felt like something was wrong or broken with me like I needed to be a social butterfly ๐ฆ with lots of friends to fit in but as I got older and prayed ๐๐ป more I realized ๐ญthat no personality or temperament is better than the other! As I got older I realized that my temperament and personality were preparing me for my role to be a therapist and help others in pain! This empathy HE gave me which was HIS gifts ๐ were used to help those hurting and in pain. The introvert nature allowed me to observe and be intuitive on the needs of those I serve as a therapist. It allowed me to pick up on body language, facial expressions, and nonverbal communication which allowed me to understand not only what was said but what was not said! Did you know 80% of communication is nonverbal communication. ๐ The reason I posted this is because God places in certain roles, places and interactions for various reasons. Maybe ๐ค we were put to heal, encourage, support, guide, or mentor someone. Maybe in being authentically who you are- you inspire someone timid to embrace who they are! Maybe through your humor and silliness you wash ๐งฝ away someone's pain and help them see the lighter side of things and embrace the light heartedness. Don't ever think ๐ญ for a minute that your life is meaningless and you just take up space. You Matter! โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ #youmatter #godlovesyou #copt #copticmemez #coptictherapist #orthodoxy #copticorthodox #christiantherapist #godspurpose #godspurposeforme #godsplan
Repost- @joenasandiego As a therapist, I help people learn that hurt people hurt people but we also learn to hold people accountable for their actions. This is where healthy boundaries and accountability come in to play. We can't just excuse bad behavior and put our head in the sand and act like it doesn't exist. An apology without changed behavior is just as futile. #changemakers #hurtpeoplehurtpeople #cyclebreakers #coptictherapist #copt #copticcmemess #copt #flawedchristian #imperfectlyperfect #orthodoxy #christiantherapistsofinstagram #christian #livingforhim #jesuscalling #jesuslover #mylifemyfaith #spreadthelove

Life has been life(ing) and I've been MIA from this page but if I'm being honest I was considering to just close this account and focus on my business page but God has other plans! I was praying ๐๐ป about this matter and I got a message from someone inquiring ๐คจ why I disappeared and if everything was okay! They asked when I was planning on posting and I thought ๐ญ hmm ๐ค probably never but I remembered why I started this page ๐ in the first place! I started it as a ministry to let people know who HE is and how amazing God is! Tonight's post goes to an amazing Modern Day Father in our church, Fr. Bishoy Kamel! I love this post from @theartoforthodoxy because honestly this is what we need! Over the years, I've talked to many people who have left the church and their common response was the hurt they encountered by the people in the church. The reality is we don't need amazing sermons that make you feel good (those are great) but what we need is to be walking examples of Christ's love โฅ๏ธ! Some people are turned off by Christians due to the hypocrisy, judgemental nature,and unlovingness they experience from Christians. 13 โYou are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 โYou are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

When people hear the word "trauma" they think of big traumatic events that are life altering but trauma comes in many shapes and forms. Trauma can affect our relationships, perception of self/self-image, and how we go about our lives. Self awareness can help us better understand the impact trauma has had and how to navigate life. If you're struggling with any form of trauma; we are happy to assist you.

To the beautiful soul reading ๐ this post know that you are valuable and matter even if others made you feel otherwise. Even if no one saw your worth or value it doesn't mean you don't matter.

I always hated that growing up it felt like I was passed down more generational trauma than generational wealth until I heard someone say that our weaknesses and wounds are someone else's healing โค๏ธโ๐ฉน and bandaid. "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today." Genesis 50:20 This Bible verse comes to my mind when I think ๐ญ about all my pain, hard times and wounds. Yes, there was some bitter and challenging seasons but those times pushed me to depend on God's strength and not my own. If there's anything I've learned in my humble life is that if you give God your pain; HE will give you HIS strength. I have also learned that I did obtain generational strengths- my resiliency skills, my passion, my strong work ethic, dedication and my sense of humor (thanks trauma for allowing me to see the humor in the darkest of moments ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐), my empathy and understanding. #generationaltrauma #generations #generationalhealing #generationalcursebreaker #cyclebreakers #cyclebreaker #copt #coptictherapist #copticorthodox #copticproblems #curvygirl #lifestyleblogger #darkhumor #therapistsofinstagram #therapistlife #lifebelike #jesuscalling #jesuschrist #godlovesme #leavingittogod #blogger #blog #ancestors #ancestorswisdom #myancestorswalkwithme
This post will probably ruffle some feathers ๐ชถ in the Coptic Community but I'll go to battle for this one because I'm seeing it grow like wildfire ๐ฅin our churches โช๏ธ. I see a growing number of young daters/engaged/ married people and many are being encouraged or praised for this in our community and churches. Yes, I know at this point you want to stone ๐ชจme or burn ๐ฅ me at the stake but I have good intentions because I see how this plays out in the future. Sadly, it leads to unhappy ๐ marriages, separation, and possibly even divorce. There are many issues that come with dating and marrying young and the biggest component is maturity! Biologically, your prefrontal cortex isn't fully matured and becomes fully developed by the age of 25. This is the part of the brain ๐ง responsible for regulating our actions, thoughts and emotions through extensive connections with other brain regions. Therefore dating young is risky and committing to someone at that age comes with risks and challenges.

Imagine someone knowing all your secrets, problems, fears & anxieties and seeing you at your worst and loving ๐ฅฐ you unconditionally! The love โค๏ธ of God has always been the most unconditional love one can experience. Most human relationships are contingent on some kind of condition but with God no matter what happens or who you are or what you do- HE loves โฅ๏ธ you. It's hard to envision this kind of love because many of us never received this in our lives. Some people may have disconnected relationships with our parents, family and friends. Many of us have only felt loved ๐ฅฐ based on what we offer. Therefore, the love of our Heavenly Father is foreign. His love is a endless. #heavenlyfather #jesuschrist #jesuscalling #unconditionallove #nolovelikeit #loveofgod #godislove #godlovesyou #hesthesweetest #hesthebest #hecaresforyou #hestherewhennooneelseis #christianorthodoxy #copticorthodoxchurch #copt #coptictherapist #therapistsofinstagram #christiantherapist #nogreaterlove
The hardest part of human relationships and interactions is trying to understand what relationships deplete you and which ones are worth cultivating and investing in. Sometimes we invest in unhealthy or dysfunctional relationships or friendships for varying reasons and struggle with setting up boundaries or cutting them off. Sometimes we keep investing in friendships or relationships because we are projecting our core beliefs, "I'm not good enough and that's why people leave or abandon me." In order to validate my worth I'll keep investing in them so they can see my worth. Learn when to walk away, stay or work on any relationship in your life. No person is perfect and people are flawed but you must seek to understand yourself and your boundaries for healthy relationships. #boundaries #relationships #menscoach #therapistsofinstagram #arabictherapist #coptictherapist #traumahealing #friendships #boundarysetting #peoplepleaser #investments #bills #adultingproblems
I once had a conversation with my mom and recall her telling me, "Nancy, your perception about people is almost always right! You have an amazing evaluation of people and are always 95% accurate." Sadly, my mom was right and I say sadly because my toxic trait is I can be cynical ๐คจ about people. If there's anything pain has taught you is that you learn what people are about by their behavior and actions. I'm a huge believer of "actions speak ๐ฃ๏ธ louder than words". I see so many people who say a lot without any value or actions behind those words. I remember when someone came up to me and said, "I miss you so much and miss talking to you!" I quipped back with, " I'm not sure ๐ค how much you miss me but my number hasn't changed in years and I haven't heard from you ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ(I can be a bit candor. Ask anyone who knows me I tell it like it is. I don't do a beautiful lie ๐คฅ to spare you but I also am not rude or curt). If you really want to know how people feel about you or towards you- Watch how they ACT. Stop ๐ just listening to their words. No one is ever too busy to send a text or check in on you! I run a group practice business and still manage to text people in my life who matter in a timely fashion (no, it's not 5-7 business days bc I'm not shipping you a package ๐ฆ) You're a human being worthy of respect, honor and courtesy. Stop ๐ letting people get into your life without them showing effort or care. So much of the pain I hear ๐ about can be reduced if we were more careful and cautious about who we let in our lives. #actionsspeaklouderthanwords #wordsofwisdom #actionsunday #actions #people #peoplewatcher #wordsarenotenough #watchhowtheytreatyou #cynical #dontacceptit #therapy #coptictherapist #copt #therapistsofinstagram #christiantherapistsofinstagram #coach #lifetips #lifelessons
A few months ago my youngest came up to me and said that being a therapist is easy because all I do is talk to people and that's it. Internally, I was stung and hurt but I can't blame an 11 year old kid to comprehend the work I do. Honestly, I feel like it's more than a "job" to me and I guess that's why I loved it so much that I birthed it into a business, @vanguardtherapy ! Being a therapist is such a honor and blessing because people allow you on their life journey and allow you to see them at their worst, best, and all the in between. You may be the only person in their life that hears and holds space for their pain and suffering if that isn't special I don't know ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ what is! As a Christian therapist, I'm a big believer that God brings my patients in my practice for whatever He sees best and honestly some of my own patients were people who taught me lessons and blessed me as well! I can go on and on about the work we do and I'm passionate about it but I'll spare you and leave it at that! #therapist #therapy #therapistsofinstagram #christiantherapist #christiantherapistsofinstagram #coptictherapist #copt #copticorthodoxchurch #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #mylove #mycalling #mypassion
It's okay to go to therapy and some of the religious trauma or narrative that you pray it away or have poor faith is erroneous and harmful! You can be a Christian and have a therapist or be on medication ๐ for your mental health. It doesn't mean you failed or have weak faith. It means you are human dealing with a medical condition. Going to therapy can help with many things like symptom management of a mental health condition, improve relationships, heal trauma and uncover the root cause for your behaviors and thoughts. It can help you learn how to cope with those feelings, thoughts and behaviors. #therapy #christiantherapist #coptictherapist #healing #jesuslovesyou #gethelp #christian #religioustrauma #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters
One of the hardest lessons life teaches you is to have no expectations of people. It's an even harder pill ๐ when you truly care about them and have a loving heart โฅ๏ธ. I never understood when people did me dirty because I would have never thought ๐ญ to do that to you. It hurts when even the bare minimum is not reciprocated. Me and my receptionist were talking last night about female friendships and she asked me "why are they so complicated?" She was telling me that she doesn't have any female friendships because they always end up with drama or toxic. I told her I don't know ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ because even at my age they are filled with drama, two faced people, cattiness and passive aggressive behavior towards each other. She went on to tell me that even among her mom's group of friends there was drama and nonsense and that her mom cut off all these women because they were toxic and she was shocked ๐ณ bc these are women in their 50s! I told her I don't understand it either because I struggle with it myself. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ #lonewolf๐บ #femalefriendship #femalefriends #catty #avoiddrama #coptictherapist #drama #catfights #unnecessary #iratherbealone #quotestagram #thoughtsofatherapist #vanguardtherapy #arabictherapist #lifelessons #lifecoaching #lifetips #lifethoughts

"Do you like what you do?" A patient asked me. "Yes, I absolutely love it." - me They continued to ask me how I knew that I loved this and I told them how I felt like it was more of a calling for me than a job. Ironically, I almost ๐ decided that I wanted to be a lawyer but after working for an attorney for a couple of years; I realized that maybe this wasn't my career path. An unfortunate situation happened with my mom in college and she was diagnosed with cancer and it led me to be her caregiver and take her to all her appointments @memorialsloankettering hospital and I remember having a meeting with a hospital social worker and she talked to me about the mind-body connection and that piqued my interest in social work and mental health. What led me to decide to specialize in Mens Mental Health was my friend's suicide. Ironically, a lot of pain and suffering has led me to find my passion! I've been practicing since 2006 and I can't believe I've been in the field for 17 years! ๐ It's been an honor that over the years many people have allowed me on their life journey and work together towards healing. When I look back there isn't anything that I would do differently about my career choices because I've been blessed to find my purpose and passion. This passion led me to open up my small business @vanguardtherapy in 2012. I remember back in 2010 when I was a new mom sometimes I'd sit in Corner Bakery Cafe in Fair Oaks Mall @fairoaksmall and scribble on scrap paper business ideas and what I envisioned for Vanguard Therapy @vanguardtherapy . My hope is to always provide gentle, empathetic, supportive and high quality care to all our patients and I always pray ๐๐ปthat God gives me the words to speak help people heal. โฅ๏ธ #therapist #therapistsofinstagram #therapy #coptictherapist #vanguardtherapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #sloankettering #endthestigmaofmentalhealth #mentalhealthsupport #christiantherapist
Tomorrow is the Memorial of Fr. Mina Abood who was martyred by terrorists for his Christian faith. On my Lock Screen is a picture of Fr. Mina Abood and many people have asked me if he's my brother, husband, boyfriend or who he is and it allows me to share our Coptic Faith and talk about a Modern Day Martyr in our church. I honestly felt very strongly after reading his story @aspringinsinai "A Spring in Sinai" because it was the first time I read someone's biography and cried ๐ฅน๐ญlike a baby. It broke my heart that this Holy man willingly sacrificed his life for Christ as a young father and priest. I think ๐ค a lot as a girl mom (another thing we have in common is we both have 2 girls ๐ง๐ป). This priest, Fr. Mina Abood lived solely for Christ that he willingly sacrificed his life instead of staying behind to be with his family; He was willing to be martyred and face religious persecution for our Lord & Savior. This picture was a gift ๐ given to me because the person knew how much I felt attached to his life and story and connected to him. There is something special, serene and peaceful about Abouna Mina Abood's countenance. He always has this peaceful and powerful smile ๐ on his face in all pictures. His face exudes Christ's peace. May your memory live eternally my beloved Father Mina Abood. Pray ๐๐ป for us in the Lord's Kingdom. โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ If you're interested in reading ๐ his story- Go buy the book ๐ from Amazon โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ A Spring in Sinai: Hieromartyr Mina Abood: His Life, Miracles, and Martyrdom in Post-Revolution Egypt https://a.co/d/4NbhQJ5 #frminaabood #aspringinsinai #abounamina #abouna #martyrs #moderndaysaint #moderndaymartyrs #copticorthodoxchurch #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #coptictherapist #endreligiouspersecution
Don't let the people inside the church โช๏ธ make you build your perception about your Heavenly Father. Over the years, I've counseled many people who struggle with religious trauma and many people I knew who left the church โช๏ธ because of the people in the church. Honestly, I've considered many times myself of leaving the church. So many of us have witnessed hypocrisy, cliques, judgements & criticism by church people but the reality is all the people are NOT indicative of your perfect Heavenly Father who loves you unconditionally. Don't stop ๐ going to church because of the actions of the people in the church for they are flawed sinners and don't let your expectations of Christians impede on having communion with your Heavenly Father in HIS House. Nothing is perfect but God is. I'm sorry if the church people hurt you or let you down. I'm sorry and hope you will allow God to work in you to see that we are imperfect sinners who are loved ๐ฅฐ by a Perfect God. #church #churchlife #churchfamily #letgoofyourexpectations #coptictherapist #godisgood #godcares #religioustrauma
12 โWhat do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?" (Matthew 18:12) This Bible verse is so beautiful and personal to me and all of us. Many times I question my own worth and value even times I tell myself negative things like "I'm worthless" or "No one cares about me" and than I'm reminded by this Bible verse in Matthew 18:12, that the Shepherd (Christ our God) left his 99 sheep ๐ to find ME (the lost one)!!! How amazing, caring, thoughtful, loving and concerned our Great Father is that He would leave everything behind to find little old me? In our society, it makes No sense that someone would leave 99% of his belongings for that 1% that has gone astray or left. MOST people wouldn't care or statistically speaking would NOT bother to seek out the 1%. However, our God CARES about EVERYONE and wants us to be with HIM so badly that HE will leave everything to seek out the lost, the hurt, the forgotten, the lonely. God knows us soo intimately that HE knows the numbers of hairs on your head. God talks to us daily but the devil ๐ is soo good at what he does that he makes us soo deaf, blind, mute, and unaware of God seeking us out personally! I pray ๐๐ป my beloved sisters and brothers that we all know that He seeks us daily and wants us to commune with HIM.

Yes ๐๐ป to all of this! Iโm the first person in my family to go to therapy and will always be in therapy as itโs helped me with so many things in my life. When I started therapy I kept it a secret ๐คซ and told no one ๐คbecause of fear of how people will view me and bc I grew up in an Egyptian community that saw therapy and mental health as something for โcrazy peopleโ or people who are damaged or broken. I remember the first person I told was my little brother and I honestly expected him to give me smack about as most brothers do but I was shocked when he told me he was proud of me and loved me. (Shoutout to my bro for always being my support system and pep talk king ๐คด๐ป). Itโs taken me a few years to be open about saying this because of my fear of being judged in my Egyptian Coptic Community but I decided to be open and transparent because I want to normalize going to therapy like we do going to a doctor or the gym. . . . Over the years, Iโve had so many Middle Eastern people from my community and church secretly tell me they were in therapy or wanted to start therapy. I always found it sad ๐ข among our community that we had to hide a tool thatโs helpful for healing โค๏ธโ๐ฉน and growing. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GOING TO THERAPY! I strongly recommend that everyone at least go once in their life. . . . Iโll say it loud and proud, โI GO TO Therapy!โ I think ๐ญ everyone should go to therapy and not bc Iโm a therapist but because we all need mental health check ins! . . . To all my lovely people in the Middle Eastern community or any minority that fears going- I highly recommend it as itโs very beneficial. Letโs stop ๐ stigmatizing mental health and break the generational cycle that our previous generations taught us! Therapy isnโt a dirty word and thereโs NOTHING WRONG with you for going to therapy. Therapy offers freedom from your past. . . .

The hardest part of Christianity โ๏ธ for me has always been the concept of evangelism. If you know me; you know Iโm an introvert loner and not a big preacher type but Iโm trying to learn to be bold in my faith and itโs why I created this page. Itโs my own form of evangelism of God. I hope ๐ค๐ป that through this page many learn about the beauty of the Coptic Christian Orthodox Faith. My prayers are that people will come to God not because of my words but because of my actions. St. Francis of Assisi said, โPreach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.โ That concept has Always stuck strong in my mind because Iโm not one for eloquent words but a big believer of peopleโs actions and behaviors. I always pray ๐๐ผ that my actions and behaviors glorify God in my interactions with people.
