About Me

Hello! I’m Noorhayati Said.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, coach, and consultant on a mission to empower women of color to rediscover their identity and purpose and master their everyday experiences in their own healthy right. I have extensive experience in supporting domestic violence, sexual assault, and trauma survivors. I specialize in helping people address identity and relationship issues, anxiety disorders, depression, body image complexities, feelings of self-harm, and addiction.  

My journey is deeply rooted in my culture and the power and protection of my single mother. As a mixed-race woman, my identity came with a mixture of unique experiences, including two constant ones– sexism and racism. I grew up watching my mother make endless sacrifices, transcend her circumstances and survive despite them. I experienced poverty and the traumas that come with melanated skin and a broken home at a very young age. 

Like some of you who have stumbled upon my page, I didn’t always have the tools to understand and express myself in the real world. While the line between who I am and what happened to me was blurred for a very long time, it was therapy and deep healing that grounded me and led me to a life of wholeness and boldness. My ability to see people through their most trying times comes from this continued journey (and I cherish my mother for instilling faith in me and subsequently freeing me to empower others). Eight years ago, I launched my private practice to help women of color navigate their challenges, show up as their authentic selves, and shift from surviving to thriving. Having extensive experience working in the production field alongside big brands like NBC Universal, MTV, HBO, Nike, and ESPN, I have now expanded my services to support more people of color across companies, corporations, and non-profits of all sizes.

Whether you're interested in individual or corporate wellness support, I welcome you to connect with me to share your experience. Let me help you rediscover your confidence and worth that is innately yours!
