Amaal Sheikhadan is a licensed mental health professional and founder of Heartful Minds. With expertise in crisis response, trauma-informed therapy, and culturally responsive support, she is dedicated to bridging clinical care and community wellness. 

Heartful Minds was inspired by Amaal’s vision for safe, faith-affirming spaces where Muslims can explore mental health without fear or stigma. Through Heartful Minds, Amaal hopes to nurture a culture where mental health is treated as a shared responsibility, where seeking help is seen as strength, and where care reflects both professional understanding and Islamic values.
