Real conversations about mental health.

Hello! I’m Israa. I’m a mental health speaker, a psychotherapist, and personal development author.

I create intentional and meaningful experiences about our emotional wellbeing through speaking engagements, live workshops, and creating thoughtful creative content. Find out more about how we can work together.

My goal is to educate people about mental and emotional health, empower them to feel more confident, and elevate the quality of their lives. I am also the founder of Well.Guide, a digital mental wellness brand on Instagram.

I want to transform the way we talk about mental health: from being shameful to being empowered.
