Short Biography

True Mind Wellness is a client-centered psychotherapy practice offering compassionate, culturally responsive care for individuals, couples, and families. Led by Saadia Yunus, an EMDR-certified therapist with advanced training in trauma and relational work, the practice integrates evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, Gottman Method, and EFT. We specialize in supporting clients navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions, with a focus on helping individuals feel more regulated, connected, and empowered. Our diverse team offers both in-person sessions in Deer Park and Melville, NY, as well as virtual therapy across multiple states. We are committed to creating a warm, collaborative space where healing feels safe, accessible, and meaningful.

Therapy Philosophy

At True Mind Wellness, we believe that healing happens within a safe, compassionate, and collaborative relationship. Our approach is rooted in the understanding that every person carries a unique story, shaped by their experiences, relationships, and environment, and that lasting change comes from addressing both the mind and the body.

Special Training & Certifications

True Mind Wellness is grounded in advanced, evidence-based training to support deep and effective healing. Led by Saadia Yunus, our clinicians are trained in trauma-focused and relational modalities that go beyond traditional talk therapy. Our specialties include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma and distressing experiences, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy for parts work and inner healing, and couples therapy approaches such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Our team is equipped to work with complex trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and relationship challenges, using approaches that are both structured and compassionate. We prioritize ongoing education and clinical training to ensure our clients receive the highest quality of care.
