I often work with my clients on developing emotional regulation skills. It is such a vital element for success in all your relationships. Who better to lead us by example than our beloved RasulAllah (S)?

I have always found combining Islam with my knowledge of the behavioral sciences a seamless integration. People often ask me if psychology contradicts Islamic tenets. I actually find Islam enhancing my understanding of the human spirit, emotions, behaviors, psychology and relationships.
Best of all I have gained a deeper understanding of the Hikmah (wisdom) of Allah, the benefits of His guidance, and His Love and Mercy toward us. That’s why I love what I do 🥰

In addition to race, ethnicity, religion etc. people face oppression due to their neurology. How many of us have been experiencing PTSD lately? Did you PTSD leads to acquired neurodivergence? There is also a disproportionate number of people imprisoned who are neurodivergent.

The term “boundaries” is not synonymous with cutoff. Yes, we do not jump to cutting off family members, but we MUST change the way we respond to toxic behaviors. It will be the only way to maintain healthy relationships and perhaps even your sanity.

Welcome to Dr. Afshana Haque & Associates! It has been a while since we have made proper introductions so wanted to take the time to tell you a little about ourselves. We serve clients in Florida and Texas including Houston, Austin, Dallas & San Antonio. I am Texas’s only Muslim Family Therapist who has earned a PhD and published one of the most read peer-reviewed journal article in the flagship journal of our field. I’ve had the privilege of receiving some of the best training and over 15 years of clinical experience. What my clients value most, however, is my ability to break down complicated concepts, quickly cutting to the chase and offering practical means to resolving their issues. Also, if Islam is an important part of my clients life I incorporate the Islamic perspective into my therapeutic approach.
My ability to connect with others comes from my own unique upbringing and the privilege I have had of meeting people from just about every walk of life. My childhood was spent in the public schools of Flushing, NY (yes, like the neighborhood from Eddy Murphy’s movie Coming to America), and my adolescence in a Catholic school in the suburbs of Houston, all while growing up in a Muslim-Bangladeshi household. My early years of marriage landed me in a neighborhood where I lived next door to and eventually worked with refugees from all over the world. From the North side to the South (and from the ‘hoods to the ‘burbs) my colorful interactions, have exposed me to the complexity and reality of peoples lives which now allow me to accept people unconditionally. My clients come from all ethnic backgrounds and cultures including South Asian (Desi), Arab, Black, Persian, Caribbean, African, LatinX, multi-ethnic and more.
