Testimonials

Newlyweds lie on grass, smiling up at the camera, embodying a relaxed and joyful post-wedding moment, with visible happiness and connection.

Farzana has been crucial to my growth and healing through several major life events. I have gone into therapy sessions feeling overwhelmed, upset, and stressed, but every time one ends, I feel lighter and clearer. When I reflect on what makes Farzana so special, it’s her ability to create the safest possible space. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that care is consistent. She has an incredible gift for asking the right questions and listening deeply to the answers. Farzana has guided me through countless self-discoveries and epiphanies. I would not have made it through the last few years without her.

Landis is fantastic. Patient, calm, clear headed, and most importantly she actually LISTENS. She’s been a tremendous help, providing the objective, practical advice needed as I was planning my wedding. Thank you, Landis!

-S, New York, NY
A bride holds hands with her elderly parents, exchanging heartfelt looks, in a moment of emotional connection before the ceremony, highlighting family bonds and generational love.

With my upcoming wedding, I was feeling mostly stressed and dreading it due to complex family dynamics, so I hired Landis to help figure out how to navigate these relationships and come up with a plan to ease my stress and ensure that I will enjoy my wedding. I now feel prepared to handle any potential conflict as calmly as possible and am looking forward to the day instead of dreading it. I’d highly recommend AisleTalk to anyone dealing with similar issues.

-Shira, London, UK

Landis at AisleTalk was such an asset to our marriage! My husband and I sought out Landis’s services ahead of our wedding after the merging of our two cultures caused an abundance of stress. We knew we wanted premarital counseling for the wedding stress, but also to build best practices in our marriage for the future. Landis taught us so much about ourselves and how best to prioritize one another. The tools she gave us have made a hugely positive impact on our marriage already! I’d highly recommend using her and her team for any couples counseling that you’re seeking. Just an overall fabulous experience with AisleTalk!

-RHS, New York, NY

Working with Landis while we prepared for our wedding was one of the best decisions we ever made. I honestly can’t express how much working with her helped me navigate one of the most stressful time periods leading up to the wedding-that-was. (Canceled our wedding 3 weeks before due to Covid – but Landis stuck with us through the process.) Having a therapist who specializes in weddings, understood Jewish idiosyncrasies, and had experience with different sects within the religion was exactly what I needed. I’m so grateful that my cousin saw AisleTalk article in the NYTimes. She helped me build a mental and emotional toolkit for dealing with each situation. I can’t thank her enough for all the support she provided me for nearly 2 years!!!

-RP, San Fransisco, CA
A mother assists her daughter with her wedding dress in a softly lit room, enhancing the emotional connection and support on her special day.

If you are wondering whether to hire a wedding therapist, wonder no more– The answer is Yes! Early on in the wedding process, my daughter and I found ourselves struggling with very different expectations for the wedding, different communication styles, different ways of planning and getting things done. Throw in a generation gap—I am 63, she is 29 and the groom’s family, who is from a different culture, and brought their own desires and expectations, and we had quite a challenge!  Landis did a beautiful job helping us to understand each other. She was supportive and empathetic to us both. Better than a wedding planner, she focused on the bigger picture of our long term relationship. 

-Emily, NC
Bride and family members joyfully embrace at a vibrant wedding, reflecting strong family bonds and cultural heritage.

Landis went out of her way to ensure that my family member and I felt listened to and understood. She handled complex and sometimes difficult conversation topics with grace and sensitivity. I gained a better understanding of myself and others, and throughout the process I always felt encouraged and seen. Therapy with Landis changed my relationship with my close family member for the better and I am so grateful to have had access to this wonderful resource.

-ER, Philadelphia, PA

I’ve worked with Aisle-Talk in two capacities – I started [with Farzana] in individual therapy and eventually moved to premarital counseling [with Landis] as well. As a Southeast Asian man, mental health is not a topic often discussed. It helped give me peace, slowed my mind, and provided an outlet for me to express emotions that I previously had not had. While individual therapy is a bit more “mainstream” now, I always felt premarital counseling had a very negative stigma – “only couples in trouble go to therapy.” I was proven wrong. The amount of work Landis put in to get to know me and my wife made me not only trust her to open up, but also made me feel it was a safe space to be vulnerable. I truly feel my marriage is better because of it. Landis is great at building trust and facilitating conversations you didn’t even know you needed to have.

Farzana-Rahman

Farzana Rahman, LMHC

senior therapist, clinical supervisor
read more

For more than a decade, Farzana has supported clients through the nuanced, often-demanding terrain of interpersonal stress, major life transitions, identity exploration, and the long-lasting impact of early childhood experiences. Her therapeutic style is warm, accepting, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with particular care for the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape a person’s sense of self.

Farzana is especially attuned to how family histories and early attachments influence adult romantic relationships — a dynamic that often becomes more visible during wedding planning or the transition into marriage. As a child of immigrant parents and a South Asian woman of color, she brings lived experience, cultural humility, and an expansive perspective to help clients understand where their relational patterns come from, and how to grow beyond them. She invites clients to explore identity, unlearn old narratives, and build relationships that feel grounded and authentic.

Her clinical work is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based approaches, multicultural counseling, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She is trained in the Gottman Method Level One and is also a certified PREPARE/ENRICH premarital and marital counselor.

In addition to her clinical practice, Farzana has contributed to mental health research within the South Asian community, supported the development of a mental health expansion clinic, and provides clinical supervision to Master’s-level counseling students.

Farzana is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State and can provide telehealth therapy in Florida. She pursued her Master’s degree in mental health counseling from Fordham University.

Taylor first joined AisleTalk as a clinical intern and was thrilled to continue her work with the practice as an associate therapist. She brings a warm, curious, and nonjudgmental style to therapy, helping clients explore their experiences, challenges, and aspirations with honesty and self-compassion. Her approach centers collaboration—she believes clients are the experts of their own lives, and her role is to help illuminate patterns, build resilience, and support meaningful emotional growth.

Rooted in a strong multicultural and anti-oppressive lens, Taylor is committed to providing culturally responsive care. As an Asian American woman, she brings a nuanced understanding of how cultural identity, family expectations, and community narratives shape the way clients move through the world. She strives to create a safe, inclusive space for people of all backgrounds, particularly those from marginalized identities who may not have always felt seen or understood.

With a special passion for working with Gen Z, Taylor supports clients navigating anxiety, identity development, relationship stress, perfectionism, school and career transitions, and the pressure to “figure it all out.” She uses an integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities to tailor therapy to each client’s needs. Together, she and her clients explore recurring patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and build the tools needed to move through life and relationships with greater ease and confidence.
