About Amana Roots

About Us

Discover Healing Through Compassionate Care

Amana Roots Counselling was founded in recognition of the growing need for culturally informed and identity-conscious therapeutic services within the community. As a South Asian, Muslim, and BIPOC therapist, Yasmeen Mohsin draws upon both her lived experience and professional training in psychotherapy to create a space where individuals can safely explore identity, relational patterns, and trauma.
Motivated by a commitment to culturally responsive and trauma-informed care, she established this practice to support individuals seeking a space that honors the complexity of their backgrounds while fostering psychological safety, insight, and healing.

We have served a diverse clientele, including individuals from various cultural backgrounds facing challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and attachment issues. Our clients range from young adults to seasoned professionals, all united by a desire for personal growth and healing. Each journey is unique, and at Amana Roots Counselling, we pride ourselves in providing tailored support that meets the specific needs of every individual.
