How to prepare

Complete intake forms

Intake forms must be completed before your intake session.

Have your ID ready

A valid driver’s license or government-issued ID is needed to verify your identity at intake.

Check your location

You must be physically located in a state or country where Dr. Aisha is licensed at the time of each session.

Find a private space

Join from a quiet, private place where no one else is in the room, so you can speak freely.

Get informed

Policies & frequently asked questions

We value transparency so you can make an informed decision about your care. You are always welcome to ask questions during your free meet & greet.

Who does Dr. Aisha see?

Dr. Aisha works with women and teen girls ages 13 and older. She does not provide therapy to adult men and does not offer marriage or couples counseling. So that every client has a safe space to speak freely, no one else should be present in the room during sessions.

How much do sessions cost?

The meet & greet is free. The initial intake session is $374, a 50-minute follow-up session is $187, and an extended session is $285. A package of four 50-minute sessions is available after intake at $170 per session.

Do you accept insurance?

Manara Counseling is an out-of-network, private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. On request, we provide superbills for clients in Florida, Texas, Virginia, Michigan, South Carolina, New Hampshire and Vermont, which you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed, so please check with your insurer before scheduling.

A superbill includes your diagnosis, dates and length of service, and fees. Insurers generally require a diagnosis to reimburse mental health care.

Questions to ask your insurance company:

  1. Do you reimburse out-of-network mental health services?
  2. Are telehealth (virtual) sessions covered?
  3. How much is covered, as a percentage or dollar amount?
  4. Is there a deductible to meet first, and how much is it?
  5. Is there a yearly maximum amount or number of sessions?
  6. Do I need pre-authorization or a referral?
  7. Do you cover intensive treatment, and does it require pre-authorization?
  8. How do I submit a claim, and how long does reimbursement take?
What is the cancellation and refund policy?

Sessions and packages are non-refundable. Instead of cancelling, please use the reschedule link in your confirmation email at least 24 hours before your appointment. If intake forms are not completed, your intake is moved to the following week; if they are still incomplete, the session is cancelled without a refund.

What happens if I am late or miss a session?

There is a 15-minute grace period. If you have not joined within 15 minutes, or you miss a session without 24 hours’ notice, the session is marked as a no-show and is not refunded, and a new appointment will need to be booked. Dr. Aisha makes every effort to start on time and kindly asks for the same 15-minute grace in return, since client emergencies occasionally need attention.

Is what I share in therapy confidential?

Yes. Information about you is not released without your written permission, except where disclosure is required or permitted by HIPAA and applicable state law. These exceptions include:

  • Suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person or dependent adult.
  • A serious risk that you may harm yourself.
  • A serious threat of harm to another person.
  • A court order or other legal process.

If a spouse, family member or anyone else contacts the practice about you, we will not confirm that you are a client unless you have signed a release. Dr. Aisha may consult with other licensed professionals about your care; they are bound by the same confidentiality rules. Payment records may show the name Manara Counseling, LLC.

How is Islam integrated into therapy?

Faith is integrated at the level you choose. As an Aalimah and a licensed therapist, Dr. Aisha brings in Islamic principles where they support your healing, alongside evidence-based treatment. Research consistently links spirituality with meaning, coping and resilience, and every client is met with respect wherever she is on her journey.

Can I book if I live outside the licensed states?

Therapy is provided only to clients located in Florida, Texas, Virginia, Michigan, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Vermont or Saudi Arabia at the time of each session. If you are located elsewhere, please contact the practice before booking to discuss what options, if any, are available where you live.

What if I am in crisis?

Manara Counseling does not provide emergency or crisis care. If you are having thoughts of suicide, have harmed yourself, or feel you may harm someone else, call or text 988 (in the US), call 911 or your local emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency room. Once you are safe, you are welcome to book an appointment.

Do you offer chat-based counseling?

No. All sessions are held by secure video. Chat-based counseling is not offered.

Does Dr. Aisha appear in court?

No. Dr. Aisha does not participate in court appearances or legal proceedings for any reason.
