Great to meet you!

Hi, my name is Ammar Nazarali, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I received my Master’s in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington and have over five years of experience providing therapy, in private practice and school-based settings. I was born and raised in the United States as a second-generation immigrant with roots in East Africa and India. My background has given me a personal appreciation for how culture, identity, and belonging can shape the way we understand ourselves, our experiences, and our relationships.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you create meaningful change. Together, we’ll explore what may be getting in the way of the life you want while developing practical skills to respond to life’s challenges with greater flexibility, confidence, and self-compassion. My hope is that our work helps you develop a stronger sense of yourself, clarify what matters most to you, and build a life that feels authentic and aligned with your values.

What you can expect from me

Reaching out for therapy isn’t always easy, and if you’re considering taking that step, you’ve already taken your first step. In our first session, we’ll begin getting to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy, what you may have already tried, and what you would like your life to look like moving forward. We’ll begin to create a space where you can be yourself, explore what matters most to you, and begin developing practical tools you can use in your everyday life. From there, we’ll work together to establish achievable goals and create a path forward that feels meaningful and realistic for you.
