Dear Fatima

What’s your struggle?  What stones has life thrown your way? Everyone has them- problems that constantly linger on your mind and you just don’t know what to do about them.  At Stones to Bridges, we believe that everyone should have a place to unwind and address what’s on their mind. It's time to take those stones and build your bridge.

Anonymously ask “Fatima”, our seasoned team of Professional Muslim Counselors, both male and female, for their thoughts and insight. Ask Fatima about anything on your mind – school, family, love, sadness, abuse and anything else!  Sometimes an objective perspective and fresh mind can do you good.

We are here to help you help yourself! “Fatima” will respond to your question; however, if you would like us to connect you with a therapist or counselor in your area, please click here to send us your contact information.
