Practicing in the Bay Area & seeing patients throughout California, specializing in women’s mental health & Islamic Psychology'

Meaningful Change Starts Here.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Dr. Sanjana Karim, founder of Peace Tree Mental Health. I help women who feel stuck in their lives or are struggling with life transitions find healing and contentment. I place special focus on women’s mental health issues such as professional and relationship stress, infertility, peri-partum depression, and premenstrual dysphoria.

I also specialize in Islamically integrated psychotherapy— which harnesses the transformative power of therapy grounded within the framework of our Deen. This approach draws on classical Islamic concepts of the soul and well-being, while using modern clinical tools to foster emotional resilience and spiritual growth.

My passion lies in supporting the mind, body, and spirit for true, lasting wellness. I use an integrative approach that focuses on psychotherapy and, when helpful, may include medication, lifestyle adjustments, and collaboration with your other doctors.

I am here to provide a space for you that is safe, healing, and peaceful.

I look forward to meeting you.

What therapy with me looks like:

I encourage you to view therapy as an investment in your overall wellness.

As your partner and guide in this journey, my goal is to first address and relieve the emotional suffering that brings people to treatment, such as the stress and uncertainty of illness. This often co-exists with chronic struggles with mood, anxiety, and traumas of the past.

Our work is about helping you go from ‘surviving’ to ‘thriving’ in your life. My approach can be seen as a melding between traditional therapy and life coaching. It is focused on facilitating change and transformation in your life.
