Israa Nasir

Israa Nasir is a psychotherapist and mental health advocate, currently working at the intersection of mental health and technology. Home is a complicated question -  Pakistani by birth, she split her childhood between the Middle East and Canada, before moving to New York City.  Being a ‘Third Culture Kid’, she is passionate about Asian diasporic issues, especially mental health, women, and the role of (im)migration on identity. She hopes to encourage meaningful conversation around mental health and propel change in the Asian community through her work. Her recent efforts include community outreach with local politicians to raise awareness, speaking engagements on multiple podcasts and Instagram Live sessions, and leading workshops for corporate clients in New York City, including the NYPD and the New York Stem Cell Foundation. Her writings on mental health have been published in various publications, including Thrive Global.

She has a habit of reading multiple books at the same time; sometimes, you'll find her sipping coffee and writing short-stories as well. She loves David Attenborough and BBC documentaries, watching foreign films (especially if they are black-and-white!), and her ideal vacation is whale-watching on a coastal road trip with some great music, and a cheese plate.
