Muni is probably the most down to earth person you could ask for. She has helped guide and support me through huge transitions. Honestly just the best person ever.

Muni has a deep sense of respect for her clients. She is very thorough in explaining her appraoch and she has training and experience in many different areas of mental health wellness.

More about Munirah

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Everyone deserves a journey of self-healing and self-discovery. In fact, allowing yourself to blossom is the avenue to experiencing self-love and meaningful connections with others.

I have worked in the field of mental health for over 12 years, but have been researching and seeking methods of healing since my early teens. I attended the University of California, San Diego, followed by Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EFT Practitioner. I have resided in California, Colorado, New Jersey, and now reside in Austin, Texas.

I have experience assisting families, adolescents, and adults dealing with a range of issues including anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, addictions, end of life issues, and issues related to discrimination and marginalization. I am an experienced therapist, supervisor, and group facilitator in various settings. I also served as adjunct faculty at Naropa University, teaching courses on Transforming Addictions and Multicultural and Diversity Issues in Counseling.

I was always fascinated by the intersection of mind, body, spirit, and emotion, and have undoubtedly learned the power of transforming harmful mental and emotional patterns. As such, I found myself specializing in mindfulness based techniques and with foundations in unique spiritual perspectives. I am certified in the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a powerful, but simple method that provides immediate relief of distress. When offered in guided sessions, EFT also works to unravel and shift unhealthy patterns that the conscious mind and talk therapy alone cannot access.

Your strengths lie in your weaknesses, and your power lies within your suffering. I will gently guide you through a journey where you can piece by piece, find balance and empowerment in your life.

I am passionate about being an innovator in the field of psychology and supporting work that brings forth real change. Transformation is possible, and we often face systems and ways of approaching mental health that make us feel stuck. I am devoted to sharing knowledge and information with others on how they can create breakthroughs in their own lives, no matter where they came from and who they are. My youtube channel "Keep the Clarity" is a space where I share lessons and experience in moving towards real change with others, including work with other counselors pertaining how to better our work with our clients.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She has always been very understanding, intuitive, and supportive. I resubscribe periodically to check in. Truly a good and genuine person.

Reviewed September 2022

I almost don’t want to review Muni because I want her all to myself; I found her when I needed her most. I have never felt more heard or understood in therapy, after many attempts at finding a counselor in my life. She doesn’t give me quick fixes or try to tell me how I’m feeling. She listens to every last thing I have to say, shows me so much compassion and empathy, and then guides me to a solution for the end of session to leave me feeling better in the short term, while continuing work on the bigger picture to help me in the long term. Muni deserves the world and people who are hurting deserve Muni.

I just finished my second session with Muni but I am overwhelmed by how fantastic of a fit she is for where I am in my life and the healing I need. I seriously wish everybody could have a Muni.
