“Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet many hesitate to seek help. In Bangladesh, where mental well-being is often overlooked. I am Ummay Kulsum Keya committed to providing a safe, confidential, and supportive space for healing and growth. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, you are not alone. My goal is to help you navigate your emotions, build resilience, and regain balance in life. Small steps can lead to meaningful change with a compassionate and evidence-based approach. Seeking help is not a weakness—it’s a sign of strength and self-care. Let’s work together to break the stigma around mental health and create a future where emotional well-being is prioritized. You deserve to be heard, understood, and supported. Your journey to healing starts here.”
