My name is Elaine Ahmad (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been practicing for more than twenty years in the Los Angeles area. I offer in-person counseling to those who live locally and virtual counseling across California. I identify as someone within the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities and have worked with these populations throughout my career as a therapist. I am particularly drawn to working with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and phase-of-life issues. I spent many years working with people dealing with health concerns and new medical diagnoses.
I also work with caregivers who are experiencing caregiver stress. I believe that counseling can help people to become the best version of themselves in terms of their personal, professional, and relationship goals. I believe open, honest communication is crucial in building a strong therapeutic relationship.
I will ask my clients how they feel about today's counseling session and request feedback on what worked and what we could do differently to make sure that I am meeting each client's expectations. I strive to create a warm, calming, empathic therapeutic environment and welcome both tears and laughter along the way.
