I have dedicated almost two decades of my life to learning various treatment modalities because I believe the more tools I have the better I am able to help you, and the more tools I am able to pass on to you the better you are able to help yourself".

What: Our vision is to elevate empathy as a foundational force in mental health and society. We aim to expand awareness, education, and clinical understanding of empathy so individuals, families, and communities can thrive with deeper connection and emotional resilience 

How: We advance this vision by applying Empathic Resonance as a core framework for therapy, psychiatry, and education. Through neuroscience-informed practice, public education, and accessible clinical care, we help people strengthen their empathic capacity and transform how they relate to themselves and others.

Why: We believe that cultivating empathy has the power to heal not only individuals, but entire systems. When people understand and resonate with one another, suffering decreases, relationships deepen, and communities grow stronger. Empathic Resonance exists to help move the world in that direction. “Empathy is a path to understanding oneself in the context of others.” – Firas A. Nakshabandi, M.D.
