Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Jamelia Shahid-EL a LCMHC and school counselor with 10+ years of experience. I offer affirming, down-to-earth therapy for children navigating anxiety, identity, burnout, and life transitions. My space is inclusive, trauma-informed, and rooted in care.

My approach to therapy

My approach mirrors my motto. I believe in presence over perfection

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming, calm, and nonjudgmental space where they can share at their own pace. In our first session, we’ll explore what’s bringing you in, your goals, and what support would feel most helpful. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and a bit more grounded.
