Nour-Azza Bizri nour@pwcollective.org

​

Nour is passionate about creating a safe, supportive space for individuals on their healing journey. As a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate, she works to help individuals understand and process traumatic experiences with compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of how trauma impacts mental health and well-being. Having gone through her own traumatic experiences, she is deeply driven to advocate for others, offering a space of understanding and hope. She is dedicated to helping individuals process their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. She approaches this group with a collaborative, person-centered mindset, drawing from evidence-based practices like trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness. She has also completed her basic training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which has given her a deeper understanding of working with individuals who have experienced trauma. She believes in the importance of meeting each person where they are, honoring their unique story, and empowering them to take steps toward growth and healing at their own pace. Through this group, she hopes to foster a sense of connection and community, where members feel heard, validated, and supported. By creating an environment of trust, non-judgment, and safety, she wants to help individuals explore how their experiences have shaped their lives, develop effective coping strategies, and promote resilience in the context of trauma. “Trauma is not the bad things that have happened to you, but what happens inside of your as a result of what has happens to you.”​​​​
