Our People

Meet the Founders

Introducing the dynamic duo behind SACS, Raj Chima and Asma Khan! These two remarkable women are on a mission to transform mental health narratives within the South Asian community. As registered Accredited CBT psychotherapists and supervisors, they bring a wealth of experience and passion to their work.

Raj and Asma met while studying and quickly bonded over their shared vision to break the silence and stigma surrounding mental health in their families and communities. Together, they are trailblazers, sparking change and starting crucial conversations about mental health.

As co-founders and close friends, they’re not just making a difference, they’re shining a spotlight on the mental health needs of South Asians. Through SACS, they’ve built a safe and supportive space where everyone can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
