Therapeutic Philosophy and Techniques
At Softmind Wellness, Jisiya integrates a neuroscience-informed, functional mental health approach, focusing on both emotional healing and brain-based resilience. Her therapy sessions are rooted in:
Client-Centered Therapy – Respecting each client’s pace and worldview, allowing self-exploration without judgment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and reframe them into adaptive beliefs and behaviors.
Mindfulness-Based Support – Teaching emotional awareness, grounding techniques, and stress-reduction skills.
Child and Adolescent-Centered Techniques – Utilizing play-based engagement, behavior modification tools, and developmentally appropriate interventions.
Jisiya is committed to emotional empowerment rather than mere symptom relief. Her work often focuses on improving emotional intelligence, building core self-worth, and enhancing the client’s inner toolkit for life’s challenges.
