Defy. Grow. Live.

Hi, I'm Chad Mohammad. LISW.

If you made it to my website then you probably want to experience therapy in a way that builds you up and prepares you to break through systems of oppression. That isn’t just some cool buzzwords - together we are building an army and flexing the power we collectively hold.Currently I am focusing on making sure all our trans family has access to whatever they need to help keep them safe, whole, and in charge of their bodies. If you know someone who needs gender care let me know and we can make sure they get connected to the best people, like safe therapists and cool friends in The Questing Queers.If you are a parent and are looking for someone that checks all of the boxes - come visit the office over at The Collective at 3301 Cedar Heights Drive, Cedar Falls IA 50613 — I think you will be relieved when you get to know us. Coolest group of therapists in the entire Midwest.If you are trying to get a hold of me and I am not responding, keep trying and message me. We are all busy but we are not too busy for you. Solidarity.

Proudly displaying art in the office created by my clients.

Grounding and Centering
(Fight or Flight Response)

This exercise helps manage the fight or flight response by grounding your energy and bringing you back to the present moment. It can be particularly helpful when you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, such as before attending a city council meeting or engaging in a challenging conversation.

  • Find a comfortable seated position and close your eyes.

  • Take a few deep, slow breaths, focusing on the sensation of your breath as it enters and leaves your body.

  • Bring your attention to the points of contact between your body and the surface you're sitting on. Feel the weight of your body and the support beneath you.

  • Expand your awareness to your surroundings, noticing any sounds, smells, or sensations in the environment.

  • When you feel more grounded and present, slowly open your eyes and carry that sense of calm with you.

Empowering Safe Space Visualization
(Social Engagement System)

This exercise supports the social engagement system by helping you create a mental safe space where you can connect with your inner strength and resources. This practice is beneficial for fostering empowerment and connection, essential for effective community activism. You can use it to prepare yourself for a city council meeting or any situation where you need to feel more connected and empowered.

  • Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.

  • Close your eyes and take a few slow, deep breaths.

  • Imagine a place where you feel completely safe, empowered, and connected to your inner resources. This can be a real or imaginary place.

  • Visualize the details of this empowering space, including colors, textures, sounds, and smells. Incorporate symbols or representations of strength, resilience, and support.

  • As you explore this safe space, connect with your personal values, passions, and strengths that drive your commitment to activism and community work.

  • When you're ready, slowly bring your awareness back to the present moment, carrying the sense of empowerment and connection with you.
