Disclaimer: All therapists listed below are independent practitioners answerable to their professional licensing boards. MAPS does not endorse or take responsibility for their professional practice.


MAPS is not a private practice, but a social enterprise of independently practicing licensed Muslim clinicians divided into chapters around the world. This resource is for you to find a local Muslim therapist in your area who best fits your needs, including marriage counseling, individual therapy, group therapy, pre-marital counseling, or even as a speaker or teacher to serve as a community resource.

To find a therapist:

  • Click “Find A Therapist” on the menu bar.

  • Click the chapter in your locality/city/region.

    • If there isn’t one, you can click a chapter within your state and find telehealth options.

  • Scroll through the options to find a therapist that is most accessible to you by distance, payment plan, and specialty.
