Founder of Therapist In A Pocket

Hi, I’m Mahiboob—but you can call me Mahi.

I’m a licensed therapist and emotional wellness coach who believes healing should feel human, not clinical.

That’s why I created Therapist in a Pocket—to give you accessible, honest support during the messy in-between moments of life.

Over the years, many of my clients have said the same thing: “I wish I had something to listen to when I’m spiraling—just to hold me over until our next session.”

So now, you do.

Therapist in a Pocket isn’t meant to replace therapy. But it is the thing you reach for when:

• You can’t see your therapist but need support now
• You’re spiraling and don’t know what to do with your thoughts
• You need help grounding yourself, but nothing is working
• You want tools and comfort without having to explain everything

You’ll find calming audio, fillable journals, and a kind, steady voice—mine—reminding you that it’s okay to be a mess sometimes.

You don’t need to perform wellness here. Just show up. Breathe. Try again tomorrow.

And if you want more support, you can always schedule a session with me directly.

You’re not broken. You’re just having a hard moment. And now you’ve got a therapist in your pocket.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State with approximately twenty years of experience in working with multicultural individuals dealing with a wide range of challenges. I am passionate about helping others become the best version of who they are meant to be.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families, focusing on mending relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, women's issues, and life coaching. I believe every individual is unique, so I tailor my person-centered approach from a variety of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Holistic approach. I like to focus more on the present and help you move forward to a better, happier, and healthier life.

I have extensive experience working with individuals of all different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Coming from a multicultural background, I pay special attention to the cultural context. I am especially passionate about working with clients from culturally diverse backgrounds, and providing linguistically sensitive, culturally appropriate, and multicultural-focused treatments tailored to your background and presenting concerns.

I am a strong believer in positive thinking. I am all about moving forward. I would like to know about your past; however, I don’t like to dwell on it. I want to help you move forward so you can enjoy your present and look forward to your future. With lots of empathy and a dash of humor, I can help you overcome anything!
