Hi,

My name is Sabika Shaikh. I am a Counseling Psychology Therapist, offering mental health  counseling services at Kalasho Education & Youth services.

I’ve always believed that healing isn't just about talking through challenges, it’s also about  finding joy, connection, and moments of lightness, even during difficult times. Over the years, working with clients facing cancer, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship struggles, and children navigating big emotions, I’ve seen how powerful recreational activities can be in the healing process.

What excites me most about MINDgarden’s setting, is the chance to blend my counseling back ground with opportunities for people to express themselves, build confidence, and rediscover happiness in safe and creative ways. Whether it's through group activities, art, play, or simply encouraging someone to try something new, I love creating spaces where people can feel supported while also experiencing joy.

This work is a natural fit for me because I genuinely enjoy helping others not only process their  challenges but also celebrate their strengths. I am honored to bring both my heart and my skills to MINDgarden!
