About Israa:
"Hi! I'm Israa, I'm a psychotherapist by training, a writer, and mental health advocate.  I'm Pakistani-Canadian mental health professional, currently living and working in New York City. I am passionate about Asian Diaspora issues, especially mental health, women, and the role of (im)migration on identity. I hope to reduce the stigma around mental health; and explore the interaction between mental health and South Asian identity, especially between first and second generation communities.  I also work towards increasing mental health awareness though writing for other publications, as well as my own website."
