Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Saadia Z. Yunus is a licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma specialist, EMDR Certified, IFS level 1 trained, relationship and personal development coach, motivational speaker, and community leader. She has 13+ years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups.”

About Me

I guide individuals, couples, and families through complex challenges, drawing on over 13 years' experience. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and trauma specialist, I use EMDR and IFS to help clients process difficult experiences. My approach integrates relationship and personal development coaching, creating a collaborative space. Clients seeking support for trauma, relationships, or personal growth have come to the right place.

Approach

Clients can expect steady pacing and practical structure as we navigate painful memories, relationship patterns, and present-day struggles. Sessions move between focused exploration, body-aware regulation, and targeted processing, with between-session exercises tailored to strengthen new responses. I blend direct feedback with gentle coaching so you leave each meeting with clearer choices and small, trackable steps. People coping with anxiety, mood shifts, or relational wounds often find this way of working stabilizing and empowering.
