Hi,

I’m E. Cordelia Miller Muhammad, CEO and Founder of Shifa Living, PLLC.  I am a Board Certified TeleMental Health provider and licensed as a clinical social worker in the states of Illinois and Michigan.  

It is my mission to empower adults and adolescents who struggle with fear, worry, or self-doubt.  And because for them, the opinions of others matter a lot, they rarely feel like what they have to offer is enough.  

Recovery from emotional and mental anguish is possible.  Guiding people in overcoming hurt, disappointment, or disillusionment to grow into a better version of themselves is an absolute joy.  People settle in their sense of worthiness in my care. 

I get how talking to someone about what’s bothering you can make you feel embarrassed, like you are complaining or just weak.  You and I have received so many messages to “be strong” that it’s easy to think that being vulnerable is going in the wrong direction.  The truth is, strength is found in your vulnerabilities and when you talk to the right person, so are solutions that you can believe in and implement.   

In recent years, I’ve focused on building a successful virtual private psychotherapy practice specializing in the treatment of Anxiety.  Practice wisdom has taught me that emotions are like wild animals, either you manage them, or they will manage you.  

I would love to teach you how to manage your emotions and share with you the knowledge I’ve gathered from two decades of providing psychotherapy.
