What we hear, again and again

The search shouldn't be this hard.

Too many of us have left therapy because we spent the first three sessions explaining who we are. We built Heartful so you can start at session one.

You shouldn't have to translate your faith to be understood.

Our therapists already know what salah is, what Ramadan asks of you, what your grandmother's expectations mean.

You shouldn't have to choose between therapy and your values.

Faith is not a footnote to your mental health. With us, it sits at the center of the work, on your terms.

You shouldn't have to search for hours to find someone who gets it.

We match you in days, not weeks, with up to three Muslim therapists who fit how you live, work, and pray.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

If something isn't here, write to us. A real person on our team will respond.

Yes. All sessions are held in a private, encrypted video room governed by Canadian healthcare privacy law (PHIPA, PIPEDA, and provincial equivalents). Your therapist will discuss the limits of confidentiality with you in the first session.
Every Heartful therapist is registered with their provincial college (CRPO, OCSWSSW, CPO, OPQ, OTSTCFQ, and equivalents) and licensed to practice in the province where their client lives.
Yes. Our team currently practices in fourteen languages, including Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Turkish, French, Somali, Bangla, Punjabi, Hindi, Pashto, Bosnian, Yoruba, Mandarin, and Malay. You can filter for language during intake.
Therapy itself is a mercy and is permissible. Our therapists are observant Muslims who hold your faith with care, but they will never push it on you or assume what level of practice fits your life. You set the tone for how faith shows up in your work together.
Sessions are $150. Most clients are covered fully or in part by their workplace benefits, and if your insurance doesn't cover 100%, we cover the difference. We also keep a small number of low fee spots open at all times for those who need them.
Of course. Fit matters more than anything in this work. You can request a new match at any point in your care, with no awkward conversation required. Our care team handles it.
We currently work with adults from age 16, and we offer couples therapy with therapists trained in EFT and Gottman Method. We hope to extend to younger children in 2026.
That's okay. The intake form is short, and you don't have to commit to anything after it. If you'd like, we can send you back two or three matched therapist profiles to read at your own pace, and you can decide later.
