A Place to Slow Down, Pause, and Reflect
A Space To Feel Safe, Supported, and Truly Understood.
You may be feeling stuck in the same relationship patterns, emotionally exhausted with a mind that won’t slow down, overwhelmed by expectations from family, culture, or your stage of life, carrying past experiences that still affect your present, or unsure why things feel heavy even when everything looks “fine.” You don’t have to sort this out alone—therapy creates space to understand what’s happening internally and respond differently, not just cope harder.

About Clarity Therapy
Meet the Therapist Behind Clarity Therapy
Clarity Therapy is led by Zaynab Boussi, a licensed clinical social worker who has spent over a decade creating a warm, steady space where individuals, couples, and families can pause, feel seen, and find their way forward.
Zaynab brings a thoughtful, culturally responsive approach to her work, shaped by years of experience supporting people through life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, grief, and relational challenges. Grounded in compassion, social justice, and advocacy, she believes healing begins when people feel understood, respected, and supported at their own pace.
At Clarity Therapy, the focus is not on fixing or rushing change, but on offering gentle guidance, practical tools, and a sense of steadiness as clients move toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional well-being.
Education & Community Outreach
Speaking & Training
Clarity Therapy is deeply committed to education, advocacy, and community care. Through speaking engagements and trainings, this work extends beyond the therapy room to support learning, reflection, and meaningful dialogue.
Offerings include interactive workshops, school-based trainings, continuing education courses, and conference presentations. Each experience is designed to be practical, culturally responsive, and grounded in real-world practice, with the goal of fostering understanding, strengthening skills, and supporting sustainable, community-informed change.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
Begin by scheduling a consultation. We’ll briefly talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and whether this feels like a good fit. If it does, we schedule your first session.
What is the first session like?
The first session is a conversation, not an evaluation.
We’ll discuss what’s been difficult lately, relevant history, and what you want to be different in your life. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance — just come as you are.
Do I need to be in crisis to start therapy?
No.
Many people begin therapy because something feels unsustainable — constant stress, repeating patterns, or emotional exhaustion — not because of a single major event.
How often will we meet?
Most clients start with weekly sessions.
Over time, we may adjust frequency depending on your goals and progress.
How long does therapy take?
It varies.
Some people come for a focused period around a specific issue, while others stay longer to work on deeper patterns. We regularly check in about goals so therapy remains intentional and useful.
Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?
Sessions are held virtually. This allows flexibility and consistency even during busy or changing schedules.
Who do you work with?
I work with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, identity questions, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR is a structured therapy that helps the brain process experiences that still feel emotionally active in the present.
Rather than repeatedly analyzing the past, it helps your nervous system update how the memory is stored so reactions become less intense.
Will you tell my parents or partner what I say?
Confidentiality is a core part of therapy.
For teens, I collaborate with parents while protecting the teen’s private space. Safety concerns are the only situations where information must be shared.
Do you accept insurance?
Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) is accepted.
Private pay is also available, and superbills can be provided upon request for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
What if I’m not sure therapy is right for me?
That’s completely okay.
The consultation exists for this reason — to help you decide without pressure.
What if we’re not a good fit?
You’re not expected to figure that out alone.
If your needs would be better supported elsewhere, I will help guide you toward appropriate resources or referrals.
