About us

QuranTherapy™ was founded with the mission to educate and empower people with the resources they need to foster mental wellness and spiritual growth.

Our values

Islam is a holistic way of life that promotes physical, spiritual, social, as well as mental well-being.

Muslim scholars from over a thousand years ago were pioneers in what is called psychotherapy today.

The Quran is healing not just in its recitation, but in the tools it provides to help us think, react and cope.

Mental health is a core component of our overall health, and in fact directly impacts physical health.

Psychotherapy can be just as, and even more, effective than medications for many mental health conditions.

People of the same faith community can still be very diverse culturally, and those experiences matter.
