Connect with a therapist aligned with your values

At Ruh, we are more than a therapy platform; we are a community dedicated to making Islamically aligned and culturally responsive support accessible. Our commitment is to offer a safe space where healing and growth is not just hoped for, but expected.

We understand that culture and faith are integral to identity. Our aim is to transform the approach to mental health within the Muslim community by ensuring that every aspect of care is resonant with Islamic values and cultural understanding.

Our team of licensed Muslim therapists comes from diverse ethnic backgrounds and is available to support individuals, children (ages 3+), couples, and families. We offer support through text, voice, or video in 16+ languages!

Together, we are committed to empowering our clients to navigate life's challenges by providing comprehensive mental health care throughout their unique journeys of healing and growth.
