Hello, I'm Ameerah specializing in providing therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I have been providing therapy to clients for over 15 years utilizing a variety of therapies including an eclectic approach to therapy, trauma- focused cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in helping my clients to reach their goals.

We all struggle from time to time. Children in particular are learning every day how to pick up and carry on after they've faced something that really challenged them. But sometimes they get stuck and don't know what to do. Divorce, bullying, changing families, and so many other life changes that are out of our control can have a drastic impact. They can lead us to withdraw, fall behind in school, act out at home, or worse. Whatever the issues you and your family may have, I believe that sessions with me can help you and your family to figure out where you're stuck and what we can do to move forward.

Hello and welcome to therapy! It's time to start your journey into yourself, invest in yourself, and to write your own story. I will be happy to guide you or just be someone to bounce ideas off of. I have a holistic approach matching treatment and strategy to what you want and need. Let's collaborate and take this journey together.

The road we travel towards living as our truest self is by no means smooth. Often, we have learned messages that get in the way of living authentically, whether it be messages from society, family, peers, strangers, or even ourselves. We may feel lost and uncertain of finding a way forward. We will work together to find ways that you can feel empowered to break free from these messages to live openly and authentically. I love working with many different concerns including healing from traumatic experiences, being present with our emotions, creating positive self-narratives, and providing affirming LGBTQ+ care.

Life can be unpredictable, with its highs and lows, ups and downs, beginnings, and endings. It's important to understand that these feelings are normal. I offer therapy for both children and adults in a supportive therapeutic environment. For children, I specialize in play therapy, EMDR, and addressing school and behavioral problems, helping them express themselves and process their feelings. For adults, I provide a range of therapies, including EMDR, CBT, and trauma-focused treatments, to help navigate emotional challenges, heal from past experiences, and promote overall well-being.

I specialize in helping children and families heal from trauma, sexual abuse, physical abuse or neglect. Untreated trauma can lead to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use.

Currently accepting new clients! I work with individual adults, couples, and families. Over the last 15 years, I have had the opportunity to work with people dealing with a variety of struggles including: anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, depression, stress management, women's issues, parenting education, spiritual matters, relationship/communication struggles, etc. I work hard to walk through these issues alongside my clients and provide the support they need. While I can’t fix their struggles, I can listen to them and help point them in the right direction with a challenge of a new perspective and hope for their future.
