Haleh Banani, M.A. Faith-Based Counseling, Allen TX

I consider myself extremely fortunate to meet her online through a facebook page, which made a profound impact in my life. She is extremely empathetic and can make a great impact in one's life though positive and mindfulness. Her Mindful heart program is one such unique platform for ladies around the world to discover and empower themselves. I highly recommend.

I have had coaching before. However, I feel that sister Haleh’s coaching is the best service I have used so far. I followed sister Haleh on tv and social media for a long time but only joined when she set up her academy. She is down-to-earth, relevant and practises what she preaches. I find that ‘walk-the-talk’ quality is really important when it comes to learning from someone. I use a mixture of techniques I have learnt from her with other sources but I love the Islamic element rooted in everything she discusses. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to change habits or interested in self-development. The community atmosphere I get from the other sisters is amazing and having the opportunity to watch videos online in my own time allows me to work at my own pace and track my progress in a non-judgmental and non- intrusive way. Also, her material is up-to-date and relevant with techniques taking place in Business/Media currently.

Mrs Banani, Is best therapist that I know. She is excellent in solving marriage issues. Also she has really nice courses and programs for people in marriage or about to get married. I highly recommend her for everyone in the world. Thanks!

My wife and I booked premarital coaching sessions with Haleh and we could not be happier! As newlyweds, the transition to married life was quite a change for us, especially during this COVID era. Haleh made this transition easier, and helped talk us through any problems or concerns that we were facing. What I really appreciated most about Haleh was that I could tell how genuine, caring and empathetic she was when discussing everything. This meant a lot. I would highly recommend Haleh to anyone thinking about signing up for premarital counseling, as she was a great resource for us and we feel that we're in a much better spot moving forward.

I still can’t believe the blessings this program has brought into my life, I feel so blessed and honoured to be in your presence. The experience of this sisterhood (in The Mindful Heart) and the access to knowledge you are giving us through an Islamic lense is. I don’t even have a word for it.

I am just so thankful to Allah and to you sister Haleh and your family as well.

You have always believed in this concept and thanks to your perseverance we are able to benefit exponentially. Your dedication is so inspiring and something I aspire to.

Thank you as well to all the lovely volunteers and sisters who are helping each other.

And again I still can’t believe this blessing Alhamdulillah ya Rab

I am very grateful for finding the Mindful hearts group. Sister Haleh gives extremely helpful weekly lectures that are science based, in combination with the wisdom of Islamic teachings. I also had the great opportunity of working with her one on one as a therapist, hoping to overcome some issues and better myself as a mother. Her empathy, advice and experience were just what I needed. I highly recommand her group lectures and her therapeutic approach.

I've been going to to SIster Haleh for almost a year now. She has been SUCH a blessing in my life. She is kind, caring, an amazing listener, and selfless. She went out of her way for me when she had no obligation to do so. It's not just a profession for her, she truly cares from the heart and people like that are hard to find. My only regret is why i didn't seek her out earlier. Her faith-based approach is invaluable. She reminds you of deen and guides you along with therapy and gives great examples to help you connect and understand. Alhumdulilah my marriage is significantly better, along with my own personal improvements in life and deen. My approach on life and the ups and downs of it has changed for the better as well. Overall, she has significantly improved my quality of life and I highly recommend her to not just couples but for anyone. May Allah bless her and her family for all the good she does.

Also, I'd recommend her 5 pillars of marriage program. It would be an amazing gift to give to a couple whose getting married, even those who are already married, or even for yourself. It would be very useful for a couple to start their journey in life together with her knowledge and useful methods. I'm definitely gifting this to my kids when their time comes iA.

Sister Haleh Banani is one amazing and compassionate soul. I was looking for a faith based counselor and she really exceeded my expectations. What I was able to take away from her counseling was joining her Mindful Heart community- what I got from individual counseling is broken down into a course work that I can watch over and over again- it is a GOLDMINE. The issues individuals face that essentially causes them to seek out counseling is all there broken down into phases. Issues like anxiety, fear, depression; strengthening your emotional intelligence etc. I am so thankful that I found her and this beautiful community of women who help empower each other.

I was suffering from anxiety on and off for the past two years. I didn’t even seek help for that. I am glad that finally i scheduled a session with Haleh Banani. I started feeling better after first session and thoughts were under my control.

I have been in therapy for over 4 years and had to end my therapy for a while with my previous therapist due to out of state issues. I was reluctant to try anyone else because I was so connected with my previous therapist and wanted a Muslim therapist too. So I decided to give Haleh Banani a try. At that time, I was going through some serious adjustment with my new role as a mother, a wife and daughter in law. I was highly anxious, living days in anger and frustration and wanted a way out. Sister Haleh offered me a few sessions and reassured that she believes in helping someone in the most effective and efficient way possible. She gave me homework and expected me to do it while she offered her beautiful gems. Within the second session, I started noticing change in myself and my living situation. Sister Haleh has a great way of helping someone relate to circumstances with examples. She reminds you of the Deen that goes hand in hand with therapy and how we can be better Muslims while working on ourselves. I loved her advices and would recommend her to anyone for anything. No issue is trivial for therapy, get the help you need and inshAllah Allah SWT will heal. Sister Haleh is worth every penny you’d invest:)

I find Sister Haleh to be kind, motivating and a compassionate listener. Her methods are truly inspirational. May Allah reward her efforts in saving marriages across the globe.

Sister Haleh guided and supported me towards realizing a better version of myself, confronting my self-limiting beliefs, and working on them together to grow forward. Her faith-based approach worked wonders for me, as faith is an integral part of my life.
If you are on the fence about seeking help, just reach out once and see the difference insha'Allah.

I'm a strong believer in seeking help when you're confused. Fortunately, God has given us access to great wisdom through the Quran, Prophet Muhammad and all previous Prophets. But sometimes we still need more help. The wonderful thing about Sr Haleh is her understanding of islamic rulings combined with a strong background in clinical psychology. We all need help processing deep emotions and difficult situations. And it is such a blessing to have those two key factors in one person.

Masha'Allah she really helped me work through a lot of things I'd been struggling with. Definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a counselor/therapist.

Sr. Haleh's approach is very practical, with stories and gems that directly helped in my situation. She's a gifted, empathetic life counselor that I'd highly recommend.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have her support. The level of maturity and clarity that she has brought to my life is something I’ll value forever. She was sincere and honest in helping me deal with my issues. She was direct but kind with her words and I cannot thank her enough for giving me the confidence to stand up for myself and be true to my nature. Thank you for everything Sr. Haleh.

I have been with mindful hearts (taught by Haleh Banani) for 6 months. The overall experience is SUPERB! I cannot thank her and the whole team enough. She has taught me about self awareness, self regulation, emotional intelligence and the journey is still ON. This is the best investment anyone could make on herself. Her teaching has changed my life 180 degrees. I pray she, her family and her work continuously stay blessed.

I learned a lot from sister Haleh. She helped my a lot in my calamity, how to look at it, reflect on it, learn from it and deal with it. She is a great coach. Love you sister Haleh. ️

Salam,
