Testimonials

"The psychologist gave me therapy, taught me a breathing exercise, and gave me some questions to write down—so that whenever something happens, I can ask myself those questions. I’ve improved a lot since then. My life changed after taking the sessions. I used to be very depressed, I would have panic attacks just from overthinking things, and I couldn’t sleep. Then I saw Taskeen’s advertisement on Facebook and reached out. Their attitude was really good; they listened to me in a very calm and peaceful way. I’m very grateful to Taskeen and the psychologist."

"I’ve become completely normal now—before, I used to feel very strange, like I was going crazy. But Taskeen helped me get back to normal. It’s been incredibly beneficial, and I’ve made a lot of progress in my recovery. Sometimes I can’t even believe it myself. Whenever I talk to the psychologist, I feel so much better. The psychologist has a really kind and supportive attitude."
