Great to meet you!

As a passionate, culturally competent, and trauma-informed clinician, and I have a deep commitment to serving vulnerable communities. I believe in the power of processing and coping to lead to positive change and have witnessed countless individuals adapt and transform their lives intentionally.

Hi, my name is Ashma Hakani and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families facing a wide range of challenges.

My approach to therapy

I draw on evidence-based approaches, such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy, to help my clients develop coping skills, manage difficult emotions, and build resilience to overcome grief and loss issues, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues. I collaborate with my clients on social and environmental factors that contribute to well-being, and connect them with resources and support systems.

What you can expect from me

Learning effective coping skills and embracing the possibility of a brighter future can be your start to a life filled with renewed hope. My passion lies in supporting you on this journey, as you discover your strengths and build a more resilient and fulfilling life. Together we will create short- and long-term goals, help you identify your needs and practice skills that will support you in building an internally safe space for yourself.
